  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Kelly Slater - Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia Kelly Slater from Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia
    9/17/13 Kelly Slater - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Kelly Slater From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Robert Kelly Slater (born February 11, 1972, Cocoa Beach, Florida, US) is an American professional surfer Kelly Slater known for his competitive prowess and style. He has been crowned ASP World Champion a record 11 times, including 5 consecutive titles from 1994–98. He is the youngest (at age 20) and the oldest (at age 39) to win the title. Upon winning his 5th world title in 1997, Slater passed Australian surfing legend Mark Richards to become the most successful champion in the history of the sport. In 2007 he also became the all-time leader in career event wins by winning the Boost Mobile Pro event at Lower Trestles near San Clemente, California. The previous record was held by Slater's childhood hero, 3-time world champion Tom Curren.[2] In addition to the ASP tour, Slater has also competed in the X-Games (in 2003 and 2004). After earlier being awarded the title prematurely as a result of a miscalculation by the ASP, on November 6, 2011 Slater officially won his eleventh ASP world title at the Rip Curl Pro Search San Francisco, by winning his 4th round heat. In May 2005, in the final heat of the Billabong Tahiti Pro contest at Teahupo'o, Slater Personal information became the first surfer ever to be awarded two perfect Born February 11, 1972 scores for a total 20 out of 20 points under the ASP two- wave scoring system.
