  • The Tragicomedy of the Surfers'commons
    THE TRAGICOMEDY OF THE SURFERS ’ COMMONS DANIEL NAZER * I INTRODUCTION Ideally, the introduction to this article would contain two photos. One would be a photo of Lunada Bay. Lunada Bay is a rocky, horseshoe-shaped bay below a green park in the Palos Verdes neighbourhood of Los Angeles. It is a spectacular surf break, offering long and powerful rides. The other photograph would be of horrific injuries sustained by Nat Young, a former world surfing champion. Nat Young was severely beaten after a dispute that began as an argument over who had priority on a wave. These two images would help a non-surfer understand the stakes involved when surfers compete for waves. The waves themselves are an extraordinary resource lying at the centre of many surfers’ lives. The high value many surfers place on surfing means that competition for crowded waves can evoke strong emo- tions. At its worst, this competition can escalate to serious assaults such as that suffered by Nat Young. Surfing is no longer the idiosyncratic pursuit of a small counterculture. In fact, the popularity of surfing has exploded to the point where it is not only within the main- stream, it is big business. 1 And while the number of surfers continues to increase, * Law Clerk for Chief Judge William K.

  • Duranbah Beach – Community Involvement in Managing a Complex Environment, an Adaptive Approach
    DURANBAH BEACH – COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT IN MANAGING A COMPLEX ENVIRONMENT, AN ADAPTIVE APPROACH 1 2 1 S Lawson , J Lofthouse , I Taylor 1Land and Property Management Authority, NSW 2Tweed Shire Council, NSW Introduction Duranbah Beach is the most northerly beach along the New South Wales (NSW) coastline, located adjoining the NSW and Queensland (QLD) border. The regional coastline is highly valued for its natural, built and recreational assets. Duranbah Beach has national and international recognition as a highly valued surfing site. Beach and surfing conditions have been subject to the influence of coastal works for more than half a century, as well as being fully exposed to high-energy ocean wave conditions. In particular, over the last decade, the previous coastal sand supply to Duranbah has been impacted by the operation of the Tweed River Entrance Sand Bypassing Project (TRESBP). This scheme is a joint project of the NSW and Queensland Governments that artificially bypasses the coastal sand drift around the entrance to the Tweed River. This has improved navigation at the river mouth and maintained a continuous coastal sand supply to QLD beaches north of the river entrance. Sand is also delivered by the scheme to Duranbah Beach for nourishment of the beach and/or nearshore shoals. This paper describes the changing coastal landscape, sand delivery operational issues, the state and local government partnership in the nourishment works, and community stakeholder shared involvement in Duranbah Beach coastal management. Duranbah Beach Duranbah Beach is located in Tweed Shire in NSW, and sited between the mouth of the Tweed River and the NSW/QLD State border (Fig.

  • 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.

Professional female surfers, in particular, are drawing greater media attention than ever before and are seen by surf companies as the perfect vehicle to develop this global industry further. Because lifestyle branding has been developed as a modern marketing strategy, this thesis examines the lifestyle marketing practices of the three major surfing companies Billabong, Rip Curl and Quicksilver/Roxy through an investigation of the sponsorship experiences of fifteen sponsored female surfers. The research paradigm guiding this study is an interpretive approach that applies Doris Lessing’s (1991) concept of conformity and Michel Foucault’s (1979) notion of surveillance and the technologies of the self. An ethnographic approach was utilised to examine the main research purpose, namely to: determine the impact of lifestyle marketing by Billabong, Rip Curl and Quicksilver/Roxy on sponsored female surfers.
