Much has changed in Florida since the first printing, most notably the election of Governor Charlie Crist and the outstanding conservation leadership he has shown. In his first State of the State address, Governor Crist identified global climate change as one of the most important issues of the century and committed Florida to becoming a leader in the worldwide movement to reduce greenhouse gases: “Following this legislative session, I will bring together the brightest minds to begin working on a plan for Florida to explore groundbreaking technologies and strategies that will place our state at the forefront of a growing worldwide movement to reduce greenhouse gases.” The governor also addressed several of the recommendations in the Blueprint in his budget proposals by including $70 million to foster alternative energy sources, $90 million for the restoration of Lake Okeechobee and the Caloosahatchee and St. Lucie Rivers, $400 million for accelerated funding for the Forever Florida program, and $8 million for the work of the Florida Oceans and Coastal Resources Council. Though progress is being made, the Blueprint lays out the work still ahead. We will continue to urge Florida’s Governor, Cabinet, and Legislature to respond swiftly to the alarming decline of our coastal and ocean resources. All of us with an interest in protecting our resources are a critical part of the solution. To learn about ways to participate in this effort—in addition to what you may already be doing—please contact any of the Blueprint’s authoring organizations.

  • Surfing Florida: a Photographic History
    Daytona Beach, 1930s. This early photo represents the sport’s origins in Florida and includes waveriders Dudley and Bill Whitman, considered to be the State’s first surfers. Having met Virginia Beach lifeguards Babe Braith- wait and John Smith, who worked and demonstrated the sport in Miami Beach with Hawaiian style surfboards in the early 30s, Bill and Dudley proceeded to make their own boards out of sugar pine. Pioneer waterman Tom Blake showed up shortly thereafter and introduced the brothers – and much of the rest of the world – to his new hollow-core boards. The Whitman’s were quick to follow Blake’s lead and immediately abandoned their solid planks for the higher performance and lighter weight of hollow boards. Blake and the Whitmans remained close friends for life, and the Whitmans went on to foster major innovations and success in every aspect of their interests. Dudley, pictured fifth from the left, still resides in his native city of Bal Harbor. Photo by permission of the Gauldin Reed Archive*, courtesy of Patty Light. * Gauldin Reed was among the State’s earliest waveriders and resided in Daytona Beach. His impact on the sport’s growth and the philosophy/lifestyle of surfing is equally enormous. Blake, the Whitmans and Reed shared a passion for adventure and remained the closest of friends. Call it what you like, the sport, art, or lifestyle of surfing has had a profound impact on popular culture throughout the world – and while they never actu- ally surfed, the Beach Boys captured its appeal best in their recording of “Surfin’ USA” – If everybody had an ocean, Across the U.S.A., Then everybody’d be surfin’, Like Californi-a.

  • Catching the Elusive Wave.Pdf
    Sim.org.nz ¦ 5 Christian SurfersChristian International Catching the elusive Wave!! Tabitha Plueddemann Taking “seminary” to surfers On scores of beaches around the world, wild surf and warm sand have conspired to create some of the most unique “seminary” classrooms ever. Theological education, once the privilege of students who could take a hiatus from life to study in a classroom, is now increasingly available to nearly anyone, anywhere. SIM’s Bruce Blackbell grew up surfing the waves at Cronulla Beach in Sydney, Australia. At ease on a surfboard, he surfed informally with professionals. At the age of 12 he came to faith in Christ at a camp, challenged by the thought of a world beyond this one that will last for eternity. As he grew in faith, he came to know and love God for his love, mercy, forgiveness and grace. When Bruce was a teenager, a group of his peers on Cronulla Beach caught a vision for reaching other surfers for Jesus. The idea spread in Australia, initiated by Brett Davis, who founded Christian Surfers in 1977. What began with some visionary teens on surfboards is now known as Christian Surfers International (CSI) and operates in 35 of the world’s 120 “surfable” nations. (The history of CSI is detailed in a new book, Ground Swell, by Brett Davis.) In 2007 Bruce and his wife, Marsha, and their family headed to 6 ¦ J Peru with SIM. His task was to teach Theological Education by anuary 2014 Extension (TEE), a theological training course designed for students who lack the access, opportunity or funds for seminary training.

Following the data collection process and analysis, five principle themes emerged. Firstly, surfing subculture was examined, exploring the perceptual differences between how the surfing subculture is stereotyped and its reality.
