Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary. Photographer: Robert Schwemmer, CINMS, NOAA. 4 Introduction It’s a crisp day in early November 2011. I’m on board Team O’Neill, a sixty-five foot catamaran sailing on the Monterey Bay. I’m surrounded by a class of animated fifth graders in orange life jackets on an O’Neill Sea Odyssey field trip. They’re from Alianza School, a bilingual charter school in Watsonville, California. We’ve navigated the mouth of the Santa Cruz Yacht Harbor and headed past the small red tower of Mile Buoy, where sea lions crowd together for a rest. The wave-sculpted cliffs of Santa Cruz outlined clearly on the tilting horizon look tiny and unfamiliar from sea. I look south and try to spot Jack O’Neill’s house on Pleasure Point. A sea otter surfaces near the boat and one of the instructors gathers the students in a circle. “We’re flying over the canopy of an underwater kelp forest,” she says. She begins a lesson about kelp forest ecology, taking out a sea otter pelt for them to stroke. “Oh, you gotta go out on the boat!” Jack had invited two weeks ago, in his raspy, warm voice. We were basking in October sunlight that poured through Jack’s picture window overlooking the Monterey Bay. I had come to do an oral history interview with Jack and his daughter, Bridget, about the history of O’Neill Sea Odyssey, which offers sailing trips in a living classroom to fourth through sixth-grade students from schools throughout Central California. Winter waves pushed rhythmically against the sea wall under our feet. Surf was audible even through the window. The structure we sat in seemed more ship than house, and bearded, one-eyed Jack (he suffered an eye injury from a surfboard leash many years ago) is definitely the captain. Outside, surfers caught waves over some of the best breaks on the Pacific Coast. Lines of prehistoric-looking pelicans surfed the air at eye level right past the window. The waves, the birds, the surfers, the sun wove themselves into the brief oral history Jack had the time and energy to give in his late eighties. Jack’s daughter, Bridget, perched across from us on a stool. Bridget is board chair for O’Neill Sea Odyssey and is vice president of O’Neill, Incorporated. She had graciously offered to participate in the interview. “What a beautiful spot,” I remarked before we began recording, my eyes traveling across the shining expanse of bay to the Monterey Peninsula floating like an island on the horizon. “I don’t know what I’d do without this,” Jack replied. Jack O’Neill is still a powerful man with a restorative relationship with the sea that has sustained him in both the best and worst times of his life. “I used to jump into the ocean about once a day. I lived down at the beach and I’d get up in the morning and jump in at noon and I’d jump in in the evening,” he told me when we 5 met to plan his oral history. But for Jack the ocean is more than a source of personal therapy or a surfing playground. He has a deep ecological sense of its fragility and its importance. “The ocean is alive, and we’ve got to take care of it,” he often says in interviews, including this one. Jack O’Neill is best known as a pioneering innovator of the wetsuit that made cold water surfing possible and thereby revolutionized the surfing world. This story is well told in Drew 1 Kampion’s 2011 beautiful and detailed book Jack O’Neill: It’s Always Summer on the Inside. Two oral histories are published here. The first is with Jack O’Neill and his daughter Bridget and focuses specifically on the O’Neill Sea Odyssey. The second is with Dan Haifley, executive director of O’Neill Sea Odyssey. Some background on both Jack O’Neill and Dan Haifley is necessary to contextualize the oral histories. 1 Jack was born in Denver, Colorado in 1923 and raised primarily in Los Angeles, California during the Great Depression. He started ocean swimming at the beach in Orange County, California and caught his first glimpse of a surfboard at Long Beach. As a young man, Jack worked as a lumberjack and served in the Army Air Corps. He then studied engineering and earned a business degree from the University of Portland. In 1949, he moved to San Francisco, where he worked on Italian crab fishing boats and later sold architectural aluminum, fire extinguishers, and skylights in downtown San Francisco. On his lunch breaks, he dashed down to foggy Ocean Beach to surf the cold waves. In those days, surfers donned wool sweaters to keep warm in the water. A wet, heavy sweater was no picnic to wear while surfing. “We’d go out surfing and our skin would be all numb,” Jack told me. “Your capillaries are close. So your skin would be really numb. They used to build fires, the older guys used to build fires on the beach. I used to have a room at 2444 Great Highway, and it was steam heat. And if I didn’t get warmed up on the beach, I’d stand under that shower for a half an hour.” A natural inventor, Jack bought PVC at a surplus store and stuffed it into his bathing trunks in an effort to stay warm. Later he replaced the PVC with a sample of a brand-new material called neoprene provided to him by a scientist friend. That worked much more effectively than the PVC. Intrigued, Jack began sewing pieces of neoprene into vests. He encouraged his surfing friends to try them out. Though dubious at first, they were impressed by how much warmer they felt. When the vests grew popular, Jack decided to market them at his Surf Shop housed in a garage near the Great Highway in San Francisco, where he was already selling surfboards 1 Drew Kampion, Jack O’Neill: It’s Always Summer on the Inside (Chronicle Books, 2011). Some of this background was taken from several pre-interviews I conducted with Jack O’Neill. 6 made from balsa wood. By that time, he had lost his job selling architectural materials in downtown San Francisco when, after one of his lunchtime surfing breaks, he had leaned over an architectural drawing and salty water dripped out of his nose, appalling the client. At the Surf Shop, Jack developed designs for a shorty, a long john and a long-sleeved beaver-tail jacket. Voila! Surfers could withstand the cold water. Soon Northern California became a year- round surfing area. And here were the beginnings of O’Neill, now an international company at the top of the world’s wetsuit market.

  • 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.

  • Gender, Subjectivity and the Female Surfer in Britain
    FEMINISM IN NEW SPORTING SPACES: GENDER, SUBJECTIVITY AND THE FEMALE SURFER IN BRITAIN GEORGINA ROY A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the University of Brighton for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy September 2013 The University of Brighton Feminism in New Sporting Spaces: Gender, Subjectivity and the Female Surfer in Britain Georgina Roy, University of Brighton, 2013 Abstract The popularity of ‘lifestyle’ sports like surfing has risen exponentially since the 1990s (Booth, 2004; Wheaton, 2010). The female interest in surfing has been a particularly pronounced feature of this growth; evident not only in terms of participation, but in terms of consumption and visibility across forms of popular culture worldwide (Comer, 2010). This so-called ‘boom’ of interest in surfing amongst women in Britain is an important topic for feminist analysis. In its contemporary form, the sport has particularly strong links to standards of white heteronormativity, and the heterosexy image of the 'surfer girl' is a central aspect of surfing's commercial mainstreaming. At the same time, surfing is still a relatively ‘new', and so-called 'alternative' sporting space, particularly amongst women in Britain. As such, it has the potential to challenge dominant discourses of femininity. Taking a post-structural feminist perspective, this research focuses on the ways in which females who surf are experiencing, negotiating and challenging issues of gender, sexuality and subjectivity in British surfing spaces. I draw on 32 in-depth interviews with females who surf, and ethnographic fieldwork conducted in four coastal locations; Brighton, Newquay, Newcastle and South Wales. I also offer self-reflexive insights as part of this ethnographic journey.
