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.

  • Talking Points 2019/2020
    TALKING POINTS 2019/2020 Chill inspires youth to overcome challenges through boardsports. We’re currently in 15 cities across North America, reaching over 1,900 youth annually, wtih over 25,000 served since inception! We work with social service agencies, mental health agencies, foster care programs, juvenile justice programs, and schools in local communities to select youth participants. Chill is a positive youth development program where boardsports become a vehicle for empowerment founded in 1995 by Jake and Donna Carpenter, owners of Burton Snowboards. Revolving around a core value-driven curriculum, Chill programs consist of experiential learning activities, reflection, and discussion, paired with boardsport lessons. Chill’s six core values provide youth with a foundation and framework for learning and growth, supported and enhanced through on-board progression and adult mentorship. Chill removes all barriers to accessing boardsports by providing youth with everything they need to get after it, at absolutely no cost; we rely on the generosity of individual and corporate donors. Every donation helps and no amount is too small to help youth who would otherwise not have the opportunity to experience the joys of snowboarding, surfing, skateboarding, or stand-up paddleboarding.
