RESUMO Título MODELAÇÃO DO SUCESSO DESPORTIVO: Perfil Morfo-funcional dos Praticantes Portugueses de Surf, Masculinos. Palavras-chave Surf, história do surf, antropometria, composição corporal, somatótipo, aptidão física e equilíbrio. Objectivos O presente estudo visa estabelecer o perfil morfo-funcional dos praticantes portugueses de surf através de variáveis morfológicas e de aptidão física. Metodologia Estudamos uma amostra composta por 23 praticantes portugueses de surf do género masculino, 11 praticantes competidores classificados no top 30 do circuito nacional open e/ou top 5 regional (2002) e 12 praticantes não competidores / surf recreacional, com uma média de idades de (28,96 4,15) anos e com tempo médio de prática de (14,70 4,06) anos. Determinamos o perfil morfológico (Fragoso & Vieira, 2000) e de Aptidão Física (Microfit FAZ-2 e Ariel Performance Analysis System 4). Utilizou-se o SPSS para o Windows (15) e aplicou-se a estatística descritiva, análise da variância bem como a análise da função discriminante entre os grupos investigados. Conclusões Os resultados obtidos permitem concluir que: os surfistas competidores apresentam valores inferiores de massa corporal, estatura, altura sentado, envergadura e adiposidade subcutânea com diferenças estatisticamente significativas ao nível das pregas subescapular e midaxilar, e valores superiores, com significado estatístico, ao nível do perímetro crural; O somatótipo dos praticantes de surf é mesomorfo equilibrado sem diferenças significativas entre grupos; A aptidão física dos surfistas competidores apresenta genericamente melhores resultados, com significado estatístico nas provas de flexibilidade, resistência aeróbia e pressão arterial sistólica. Nas restantes provas não foram encontradas diferenças entre os grupos. VI ABSTRACT Title MODELLING THE SPORT SUCCESS: Morpho-functional Profile of the Portuguese Male Surfboard Riders. Keywords Surf, surf history, anthropometry, somatotyp, physical performance and balance. Goals The aime of the present study is to establish the morpho-functional characteristics of Portuguese surf-practicians, through morphological and physical performances variables. Methodology The study is based on a group of 23 Portuguese male surf-practicians – 11are classified in the top 30 list of the national championship and/or top 5 regional (in 2002), 12 are non-competitors but practice surf as a recreational activity – mean age 28.95 ± 4.15 years and practice for 14.70 ± 4.06 years. We established the morphological profile (Fragoso and Vieira, 2000) and physical performance (Microfit FAZ-2 and Ariel Performance Analysis System 4). We used the SPSS for Windows (15) and employed descriptive statistics, analysis of variance as well as discriminant analysis function. Conclusions The achieved results allow us to conclude that the surf-competitors show lower values of body mass, total height, sitting height, span and subcutaneous fat, with statistical significant differences in subscapular and midaxilar skinfolds, as well statistical significant superior values on crural perimeters. The surf- praticians are mesomorphic balance although there were no significant differences between the groups. Surfers envolved in competition present generaly better results in physical performance, with statistical significance in the flexibility tests, aerobic resistance and systolic blood pressure. No differences were found between the groups in the remaining tests. VII ÍNDICE AGRADECIMENTOS....................................................................................

  • 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.

Invitations to the Mavericks Surf Contest in California, the Nelscott Reef Paddle-in Classic in Oregon and the Stand Up World Tour event at Makaha in Hawaii are recognition for the 35-year-old Capetonian’s pioneering exploits in huge surf around the globe over the past decade. “I’m truly honoured to be invited to these events where only athletes who have proven themselves in the world’s heaviest waves make the cut,” Bertish said. “I love surfing big waves, it's my passion, and to be representing South Africa amongst the elite 24 invitee’s from around the globe at Mavericks, the 12 at Nelscott Reef and to be seeded into the top 16 in the world for the first ever SUP World Champs is a huge honour and privilege.” Bertish’s string of ground-breaking feats include becoming the first surfer to paddle into and ride waves at the primarily tow-in venues of Jaws (Maui, Hawaii), Ghost Trees (California) and the Cribber (Cornwall, England) while at home he introduced Stand Up Paddleboarding at the daunting Dungeons break near Hout Bay and Whale Rock in Table Bay along with being the first to tow-in at Seal Island in False Bay, statistically the most densely populated Great White shark venue in the world.
