PLAN Hermosa Planning Commission Recommended Draft March 2017 Hello City of Hermosa Beach PLAN Hermosa Planning Commission Recommended Draft March 2017 hello. PLAN Hermosa presents our vision for Hermosa Beach over the next 25 years. This Plan is the culmination of a multi-year community-wide effort to reflect and define who we want to be as a community. We seek to retain our reputation as the “Best Little Beach City” while simultaneously enhancing our local economy and making strides to improve the health of our environment and our residents. PLAN Hermosa articulates the community vision through the integration of two important planning documents for the City of Hermosa Beach: the General Plan and Local Coastal Program. Organized around a framework for sustainability, each section of this Plan addresses different aspects of our community and identifies measurable actions to guide residents, decision-makers, businesses, and City staff toward achieving our vision. PLAN Hermosa establishes goals that will help us achieve our long term vision as a community that values our small beach town character, vibrant economy, and healthy environment and lifestyles. This is our plan for our future. We take great pride in this document, and we are committed to achieving our collective community vision.

Although the act of riding a wave started as a religious/cultural tradition, surfing rapidly transformed into a global water sport. The popularity of surfing is the result of events, innovations, influential people (http://www.surfertoday.com/surfing/9754­the­most­influential­people­to­ the­birth­of­surfing), and technological developments. Early surfers had to challenge the power of the oceans with heavy, finless surfboards. Today, surfing has evolved into a high­tech extreme sport, in which hydrodynamics and materials play vital roles. Surfboard craftsmen have improved their techniques; wave riders have bettered their skills. The present and future of surfing can only be understood if we look back at its glorious past. From the rudimentary "caballitos de totora" to computerized shaping machines, there's an incredible trunk full of memories, culture, achievements and inventions to be rifled through.

    Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} Da Bull Live Over the Edge by Gregg Noll Da Bull: Live Over the Edge by Gregg Noll. Pioneer big-wave surfer, Greg Noll, was called Da Bull by his fellow surfers for his stubborn, straightforward and aggressive approach to the sport. His approach to life in general wasn’t much different. His life revolved around surfing and everything the sport engendered. He made surfboards and surf films. He pioneered modern surfing in Australia. He discovered Mazatlan as a surf spot. He as the first to ride the fear-some waves at Waimea Bay and Outside Pipeline on Oahu’s North Shore. He brawled and caroused with men, charmed and entertained women.Above all, he was Da Bull, one of the bravest and best of the big wave riders of his or anyone’s era. Part of Greg Noll’s motivation for riding big surf came from the camaraderie he enjoyed with his elite and rowdy peers. The other part came from with: "I just wanted to ride a bigger wave than anybody. I wanted to do something none of the other guys could or would do." One day in December 1969, he did just that when a storm from the Aleutians drove monstrous swells onto the shores of Oahu and created a day like no other at Makaha Point. There, Greg Noll met the wave that had beckoned but eluded him for twenty years. Hawaii State Senator and former World Surfing Champion, Fred Hemmings, was out in the water at Makaha that same day. Afterward, he described Greg Noll’s experience as "a death-wish wave.

  • Modern History of Surfing
    Teaching Surf Instructors to Teach National Surf Schools and Instructors Association Instructors and Coaches Training Manual History of the Sport – Modern History Part 3B Provided exclusively for NSSIA certified instructors. Other use prohibited by US Copyright Laws The 40s to Now Although the 40s saw the development of resin and waterproof glue that could replace bolts holding wood pieces together, other innovations such as Styrofoam and fiberglass weren't initially applied to surfboards. There were still few surfers around in the 40s and 50s. In 1949, a surfing pioneer and shaper Dale Velzy opened Velzy Surfboards in Manhattan Beach, a shop often considered the first surf shop in the world. Hap Jacobs also opened a shop not long after. Although known for many surfing firsts, Velzy’s greatest contribution to the sport is as a board designer and innovator. Donald Takayama once claimed that "without Velzy, there wouldn't be a modern day longboard." He was probably referring to Velzy's "pig" design introduced in 1955. With a wider tail area, pig boards turned easier and handled Dale Velzy critical wave sections better than earlier parallel-railed shapes. Among Dale Velzy’s other firsts include: Shaping Industry Legend the first guy to sponsor surfers Dale “The Hawk” Velzy the first guy to advertise surfboards in a big way the first guy to mass produce affordable shaped boards the first to put a name on a surfboard the first to sponsor a surfer the first to print a surf company t-shirt. In the mid-1950s, the Dow Chemical Company developed Styrofoam for making floats used in harbors.

  • Surfing Films and Videos: Adolescent Fun, Alternative Lifestyle, Adventure Industry
    Surfing Films and Videos: Adolescent Fun, Alternative Lifestyle, Adventure Industry By Douglas Booth University of Otago For 50years, surfing culture has represented the style, taste, aspirations, and behavior of millions of middle- and working-class Western youth. Film has been a critical ingredient in this culture; some 200 surf films and dozens of videos have popularized surfing fashions, values, and mores. One can discern three genres of surf film: Hollywood “beach stories,” aficionado “pure” surfing films, and surfing industry videos. Hollywood and aficionados began producing surf films in the late 1950s as the first generation of post-Second World War baby boomers reached adolescence. Surfing symbolized carefree fun in a period of economic prosperity and political idealism, and Hollywood and aficionados captured it all on celluloid. Hollywood ceased production in the mid-1960s as surfing became an alternative, opt-out lifestyle known as soul-surfing. Aficionados, however, continued to film, making surf movies that resonated with the “subversive” philosophy of the counterculture and soul-surfing. Surf films essentially died along with the counterculture in the mid-1970s. A decade later, surfing industry manufacturers began to fill the void with videos. Today, surfing appears on video as a form of commercial adventure. Hollywood, Surfing, and Adolescent Fun Surfers and filmmakers have always shared a close relationship. As early as 1898, Thomas Edison filmed surfboard riders at Hawaii’s Waikiki Beach. It was around this time that
