Surfing, Gender and Politics: Identity and Society in the History of South African Surfing Culture in the Twentieth-Century
Surfing, gender and politics: Identity and society in the history of South African surfing culture in the twentieth-century. by Glen Thompson Dissertation presented for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy (History) at Stellenbosch University Supervisor: Prof. Albert M. Grundlingh Co-supervisor: Prof. Sandra S. Swart Marc 2015 0 Stellenbosch University https://scholar.sun.ac.za Declaration By submitting this thesis electronically, I declare that the entirety of the work contained therein is my own, original work, that I am the author thereof (unless to the extent explicitly otherwise stated) and that I have not previously in its entirety or in part submitted it for obtaining any qualification. Date: 8 October 2014 Copyright © 2015 Stellenbosch University All rights reserved 1 Stellenbosch University https://scholar.sun.ac.za Abstract This study is a socio-cultural history of the sport of surfing from 1959 to the 2000s in South Africa. It critically engages with the “South African Surfing History Archive”, collected in the course of research, by focusing on two inter-related themes in contributing to a critical sports historiography in southern Africa. The first is how surfing in South Africa has come to be considered a white, male sport. The second is whether surfing is political. In addressing these topics the study considers the double whiteness of the Californian influences that shaped local surfing culture at “whites only” beaches during apartheid. The racialised nature of the sport can be found in the emergence of an amateur national surfing association in the mid-1960s and consolidated during the professionalisation of the sport in the mid-1970s.

World's Longest Running Surf Event Stays at Bells
Wednesday, 1 April, 2015 WORLD’S LONGEST RUNNING SURF EVENT STAYS AT BELLS BEACH The Andrews Labor Government has renewed its support for the world’s longest running surfing event, the Rip Curl Pro, until 2017. The Bells Beach fixture, one of the flagship dates on Regional Victoria’s tourism calendar, is a globally recognised event on the World Surf League Championship Tour, and every year attracts the very best surfers. International stars Kelly Slater and Sunny Garcia are among the sport’s hottest identities who have made countless trips to the Surf Coast, while current joint World Number Two Steph Gilmore and reigning champion Mick Fanning headline the list of Australian favourites. The Rip Curl Pro is yet another opportunity for Victoria to show its strengths for holding world-renowned sporting events and the Championship Tour second leg is exactly that. More than 1.8 million people in 182 countries streamed last year’s event online, and it was beamed into 11.6 million households. The Easter event showcases one of Victoria’s top tourist hotspots to all corners of the state, the country and the world. The event doubles as a crucial driver of the burgeoning surf industry that is synonymous with Torquay and surrounds. Fanning and fellow reigning champion, Hawaiian Carissa Moore will be aiming to go back-to-back and ring the iconic bell once more as the event gets under way today. Quotes attributable to Minister for Sport, Tourism and Major Events, John Eren “There’s nothing better than a packed Bells Beach at Easter, watching the world’s best battle each other – and the forces of nature – in their quest to ring the famous bell.” “The Andrews Labor Government knows how important this time-honoured event is to tourism in Victoria, particularly here at one of Australia’s top holiday destinations.” “High profile sporting events play a major part in Victoria’s tourism strengths.

XCVII ISSUE 74 THE UNIVERSITY Of HAWAI‘I AT MA¯ NOA www.kaleo.org Petition presentation lacks prez By Lisa Huynh Ka Leo Associate News Editor Despite reportedly being notified days in advance, University of Hawai‘i President Evan Dobelle was not in his Bachman Hall offices yesterday when the UH-Manoa chapter of Not in Our Name, a national anti-war organization, presented more than 400 signatures on a petition that asked the university to withdraw from any military involve- ment. UH Manoa Chancellor Peter Englert did show up to receive the petition, leaving a meeting to do so. “Where’s Dobelle?” the group of about 20 gathered in Dobelle’s anteroom asked at one point. Officials shrugged their shoulders, and UH spokesman Jim Manke said, “I have no idea.” Englert said: “I can say that I have listened to you right now and that I have received your petition and your signatures, and I will take them forward to the university.” NION member Liz Reese asked Englert what he thought about the stu- dent tracking program SEVIS (Student and Exchange Visitor Information System), to which Englert replied that he didn’t “know about it.” He later added he would look over papers in his office and follow up on the question. After numerous questions were asked of the administration about Dobelle’s absence and SEVIS, Manke said: “If you’re asking for a response, we will give you a response, but we cannot do that right now.” NION member Catherine Hatfield said that Dobelle was notified a few days before the presentation of the petition but did not respond.

All of these pieces will be auctioned off to the highest bidder at the Night of a Million Waves Gala and Art Auction on Sunday, October 7, 2018 at the beautiful new Twin Dolphin Tower at the Waterfront Beach Resort – a Hilton Hotel. Your support is invaluable and helps us in our efforts to make our community and the world a better place! In 2014, the inaugural year of Surfboards On Parade, we raised more than $100,000 to help eradicate skin cancer. In 2016, the generosity of the many helped raise $115,000 in the continued fight against skin cancer, and to help the City of Huntington Beach fund the first ever universally accessible playground on the sand that opened on 9th and PCH earlier this year! In total there are 23 masterpieces created by legendary shapers collaborating with acclaimed artists. Every collaboration available is truly one-of-a-kind art that will be not only an increasing asset, but also a slice of history and a conversation piece of stunning art to enjoy for generations to come. Please take a moment to reflect on the power of your potential contribution to help eradicate skin cancer, and for this year’s community cause, to heal our most wounded veteran’s one wave at a time. We are so grateful for your consideration.
