This is the life story of Wayne "Rabbit" Bartholomew, one of Australia's greatest surfers. The book also provides a record of the past 30 years of Australian surfing. "synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title. Rabbit's best-selling biography was first published in 1996 and updated in 2002, chronicling his inspiring journey from Coolangatta street urchin to world champion. Growing up tough on the beaches and the pinball halls of the southern Gold coast of the '60s, Rabbit dreamed of a professional surfing tour before such a thing existed. Trading perfect barrels at Kirra with Michael Peterson and Peter Townend helped prepared him for a Hawaiian baptism of fire and a hair-raising ride on the fledgling pro tour once he'd help will it into existence. Rabbit's career defines the modern pro era, starting with almost nothing, surviving on his wits and rising to the top of the surfing world. "A distinctly Hunter S. Thomspon quality, with Bartholomew pin balling his way from one wild brawl to another drunken binge, always teetering on the edge of total disaster . He emerges as someone you'd definitely enjoy having lunch with because he is a born story teller who's been out there and amongst it with the best of them." Peter Fitzsimmons, the Sydney Morning Herald. "This is a tremendous book: warm, honest inspirational and fun." Mike Coleman, Sunday Telegraph. "No triumph-over-adversity cliches or mind-numbing statistical blasts here. A sports read offering a legitimate story untouched by agents or PR flunkies . a fine book." Steve Rielly, The Age.

"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title. WAYNE 'RABBIT' BARTHOLOMEW was the 1978 World Professional Surfing Champion and is currently the CEO of ASP International. Rabbit and his peers pioneered the professional surfing circuit, travelling the world on the proverbial shoestring to a handful of scattered events until a unified World Tour was formed in 1977. Rabbit was rated in the top 5 in the world for eight consecutive seasons and distinguished himself with his cavalier approach to the big waves of Hawaii and his fierce competitive nature. Today, Rabbit lives in an apartment overlooking his beloved Kirra Point and can be found getting his share of set waves on any good day.

World Champion in 1978, World Masters Champion in 1999, and CEO/President of the Association of Surfing Professionals for ten years, Rabbit's charisma, flamboyance and warrior spirit have helped define surfing over three decades. In 2009, he was honoured for his contribution to surfing, being appointed a Member of the Order of Australia. BUStIN' DOWN tHE DOOR is a story of unfaltering self-belief, of immense hardship and struggle, and of hilariously wild times, as Rabbit sets off from Australia's Gold Coast, surfboard under his arm, to conquer the surfing world. From spartan days of living on rice and oats while tackling the huge waves of Hawaii, to a glorious rollercoaster ride of parties, fast cars and perfect waves, Rabbit recalls outrageous adventures shared with surfing's most famous figures - including Nat Young, Michael Peterson, Mark Richards, tom Carroll and Kelly Slater.

  • 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.

The emergence of Steve Lis’ keel-fi n design into the mass consciousness via Derek Hynd and Andrew Kidman in the 1996 fi lm Litmus, and the ensuing interest in “retro” surfboards, did not seem to include MR-style twins. Perhaps the design was not “retro” enough, as it verged right into the contemporary thruster era, along with all the associated commercial trappings of high- performance surfi ng.

Mark Stranger . Statement of Authority of Access This thesis may be made available for loan and limited copying in accordance with the Copyright Act 1968. Mark Stranger . Abstract The thesis is a study of surfing in Australia. It examines the surfing subculture and its relationship with the dominant culture; the risk-taking orientation of its bodily practices and the role they play in the construction of individual and group identity and social formations; and the multi­ dimensional relationships between the surfing culture industry, surfing's sports bureaucracy, bodily practices, social configurations and subcultural integrity. The study is based on the hypothesis that the surfing subculture in Australia is a distinctly posbnodem configuration but one which displays a level of stability not accounted for in posbnodem theory. It informs current debates over the nature of the self and society in postmodernity. The scope of the research was national because previous studies of surfing, both in Australia and the USA, suffered from too narrow a scope; either focussing on one sector or geographic area.

  • In February, Four-Time World Champion Mark
    MARK WINDON - CEO started surfing in 1963, the year that Surfing NSW was formed, and surfing I has been a big part of my life since then. I have been involved with Surfing NSW in various administration, coaching and judging roles since the early 1980’s and to watch our sport develop has been amazing and to be a part of this is an absolute privilege. At the beginning of the year, Surfing Australia, along with legendary surf journalist Phil Jarratt, released a fantastic and comprehensive book, which documented the rise of Australian surfing over the course of the last 50 years. In no way, shape or form are we attempting to emulate something of that magnitude, in fact we’re merely intending on providing you with a snapshot of the organisation over the last half-century. We hope you enjoy it. At the time of writing, we have just finished running a Rip Curl GromSearch at Cronulla, the standard of surfing in all divisions was incredible, and if this is indicative of the surfing talent today, NSW surfers will feature prominently in the upper echelons of our sport for the foreseeable future. The next 50 years, what can we expect? The only advice I can give to whoever is sitting in the chair after me, is tighten up the seat belt, it will be one hell of a ride. CELEBRATING 50 YEARS DAVID GYNGELL - CHAIRMAN SURFING NSW 0 years is a milestone in any sport, to look back over the past 50 years 5it has been a rapid transformation from a sport that was considered to be for the rebel fringe.
