Eventuelt Bestyrelsens beretning 2016 I bestyrelsen kan vi med glæde og stolthed se tilbage på en helt ekstraordinært sæson for forbun- det og det danske stand up paddle, surf og white water miljø. Flere skelsættende begivenheder på nationalt og international plan, har været med til at gøre 2016 til det hidtil vigtigste år for Dansk Surf & Rafting Forbund. I DSRF ser vi tilbage på et ikke mindre end fantastisk 2016, som vidner om flot udvikling og vækst, stort frivilligt engagement i hele landet, stærk fællesskabsfølelse i miljøet, og udsigter til et endnu stærkere organisatorisk og økonomisk fundament i fremtiden. I denne beretning sætter vi fokus på nogle af de vigtigere aktiviteter i det forgangne år. Samtidig vil vi gerne benytte lejligheden til at takke alle medlemmer og samarbejdspartnere for deres engagement og opbakning i 2016 STOKED – Aktive unge i det våde element I januar 2016 fik vi den glædelige nyhed at DSRFs projekt ”STOKED – Aktive unge i det våde ele- ment” var blevet udvalgt til at være med i Nordea-fondens kampagne ’Det Gode Unge Liv’, der søger at skabe bedre rammer og højere livskvalitet for de 16-24 årige. Med en økonomisk støtte på 5,2 mio. kr. har vi derfor fået endnu bedre muligheder for at understøtte udviklingen af surfing, stand up paddle og white water sporten i Danmark. Medlemsvækst på over 70% Velkommen til over 1.000 nye medlemmer i Dansk Surf & Rafting Forbund i 2016, en imponerende vækst på over 70%, som naturligvis er afledt af det økonomiske fundament igennem STOKED- projektet. Vi har sagt velkommen til 30 nye foreninger i hele landet. Udviklingen viser at dansker- nes interesse for surfsporten og white water sporten spænder vidt og bredt i hele landet, fra Ærø i Syd til Aalborg i Nord og fra Vorupør i vest til Bornholm i Øst. Det har været en ren fornøjelse at se så mange nye medlemmer, være med til at skabe så mange nye aktiviteter rundt omkring i landet. Surfing bliver OL-sport På IOC Sessionen i Rio i august besluttede IOC medlemmerne at optage fem nye sportsgrene på OL-programmet for Tokyo 2020, herunder shortboard surfing. ISA har gennem mange år kørt en hård kampagne for den olympiske inklusion, og havde været i dialog med værterne og IOC om både stand up paddle og shortboard surfing. I 2016 blev DSRF således et olympisk forbund qua surfings optagelse på OL-programmet (Tokyo 2020) og derfor bliver 2017 også året, hvor DSRF påbegynder optagelsesprocessen som specia- lidrætsforbund i Danmarks Idrætsforbund (DIF). Et langsigtet mål som nu bliver indfriet og vil være med til at skabe et stærkt organisatorisk og økonomisk fundament for udviklingen af sporten i Danmark. Et stykke dansk idrætshistorie som vi glæder os til at skrive sammen med jer. Nationale events Vi fik igen i 2016 afviklet et hav af nationale konkurrencer. Det er svært ikke være super begejstret for hele teamet bag Danish Surf Tour, som igen i år har skabt endnu federe events, med unik stemning, stort frivilligt engagement, flotte, fede og sjove foto og video reportager og fester på stranden. I 2017 kan vi se frem til en endnu større surf tour og en helt ny longboard tour afledt af surf tourens succes. DSRF Open SUP Tour var i 2016 blevet opgraderet med endnu et event og indeholdte derfor hele 5 events, og touren blev afsluttet med en solid finale på Bellevue Strand nord for København. Danmarks Mesterskaberne i SUP blev både afviklet på Fanø (flatwater) og i Klitmøller (SUP Surf & Beach Race). Begge events foregik i hyggelige rammer og med dedikerede ildsjæle bag planlæg- ning og afvikling. En meget stor ros skal gå til de mange frivillige. For 4. år i træk afviklede vi Danish White Water Games, der var vendt tilbage til Sverige efter en afstikker til Norge i 2015. Eventen havde højere deltagerantal end nogensinde, og indeholdt desu- den junior-mesterskab i kajak-slalom. I 2016 fik vi også indført en ny stand up paddle serie, Bump Division, som er endnu et synligt tegn på et stort engagement blandt miljøets ildsjæle. 2017 ISA World SUP & Paddleboard Championship I samarbejde med Friends of Cold Hawaii, Copenhagen Watersports, Sport Event Denmark og Wonderful Copenhagen kørte vi en vellykket budkampagne og vandt værtsskabet af 2017 ISA World Stand Up Paddle & Paddleboard Championship til Danmark. Vi ser frem til at være med til at afvikle VM SUP & Paddleboard på Europæisk vand for første gang nogensinde når vi den 1. – 10. september skaber en kæmpe vandsportsfest i både København og Cold Hawaii. Foruden VM afvik- ler vi også en massiv aktiveringsstrategi fra April til August 2017 som skal få mange nye ud på van- det. Vi håber at rigtig mange i miljøet vil bakke op og hjælpe til med afviklingen af VM som frivilli- ge hjælpere. Tillykke til danske surf og white water atleter Vores landsholdsatleter har rejst verden tyndt i jagten på større internationale stævner. I 2016 blev der konkurreret ved EM Stand Up Paddle i Frankrig, VM Stand Up Paddle i Fiji, VM Junior Sur- fing på Azorerne, EM Junior Surfing I Marokko, VM Surfing I Costa Rica, VM Adaptive Surfing i Cali- fornien (USA), EM Rafting i Slovenien, VM Rafting i Abu Dhabi, Svenske og Norske Mesterskaber i white water slalom, Danish White Water Games i Sverige, VM Surf Boat i Holland samt Euro SUP Touren og World SUP Touren. Kæmpe tillykke til Casper Steinfath med en imponerende sæson på pro world touren med flere sejre i sæsonen og en samlet 2. plads i et ekstremt tæt løb med vinderen Connor Baxter. I 2016 vandt Casper herudover 2 x EM bronze ved det første Euro SUP event i Frankrig, blev samlet vin- der af Euro SUP Touren, ISA verdensmester i både SUP sprint racing (200 meter) og SUP technical racing. Bruno Hansen, den danske para-surfer, blev for andet år i træk verdensmester. Danmark vandt den første internationale medalje i rafting nogensinde, da kvindelandsholdet hev en impo- nerende sølv medalje hjem i det tekniske disciplin slalom ved EM rafting i Slovenien. Herrelands- holdet i Surf Boat var underdogs ved deres første VM deltagelse nogensinde, og viste enorm styr- ke og taktisk snilde da de vandt VM sølv i Holland. I surfing havde Christoffer Hartkopp også en imponerende sæson og fik bl.a. 1 x Guld FPS Regional og 1 x Bronze Vidigal Pro. Analysearbejde sætter fokus op DSRFs aktiviteter I 2016 startede vi et samarbejde med Idrættens Analyseinstitut, hvor landets bedste idrætsforske- re de kommende 3 år skal følge udviklingen af surfing, stand up paddle og white water sporten i Danmark tæt. Analysearbejdet vil give DSRF vigtig viden om udviklingstendenser, og kan være med til at pege på hvorledes vi sammen med mange andre aktører herhjemme kan skabe endnu bedre aktivitetstilbud og rammer, der kan løfte sporten yderligere.

  • Marine Recreation Evidence Briefing: Surfing
    Natural England Evidence Information Note EIN029 Marine recreation evidence briefing: surfing This briefing note provides evidence of the impacts and potential management options for marine and coastal recreational activities in Marine Protected Areas (MPAs). This note is an output from a study commissioned by Natural England and the Marine Management Organisation to collate and update the evidence base on the significance of impacts from recreational activities. The significance of any impact on the Conservation Objectives for an MPA will depend on a range of site specific factors. This note is intended to provide an overview of the evidence base and is complementary to Natural England’s Conservation Advice and Advice on Operations which should be referred to when assessing potential impacts. This note relates to surfing. Other notes are available for other recreational activities, for details see Further information below. Surfing (boardsport without a sail) Definition Watersports using a board (without a kite or sail) to ride surf waves. The activity group includes surfing, bodyboarding and kneeboarding. This note does not include windsurfing or kite surfing which are covered in a separate note. Distribution of activity Surfing is undertaken in close inshore waters where oceanographic and meteorological conditions combine with the local physical conditions (seabed bathymetry and topography), to create the desirable wave conditions for surfing. Access is directly off the beach and hence the activity is not limited by any access infrastructure requirements.

  • SURFING SOUTH AFRICA LOCKDOWN APPEAL MAY 11Th
    PO BOX 127, RONDEBOSCH, 7701 – [email protected] APPEAL FOR CONSIDERATION OF SURFING AND OTHER OCEAN SPORTS TO BE PERMITTED AS EXERCISE UNDER LOCKDOWN PREAMBLE Surfing South Africa, the official representative of the sport of Surfing in South Africa, is a member of the South African Sports Council Olympic Committee (SASCOC) and the International Surfing Association and partners with the World Surf League (WSL). The following disciplines fall under the Surfing South Africa umbrella: Surfing, Longboard Surfing, Bodyboarding, Kneeboarding, Para Surfing (Disabled) and Stand Up Paddlesurfing (SUP) are recognised affiliates. It is estimated that there are over 20,000 competitive and recreational surfers (all disciplines) in South Africa. Surfing is an ocean sporting activity that is carried out on the waves. All ocean sports, by their very nature, are naturally self-distancing. They require a person to have an existing level of expertise in the ocean and have minimal environmental impact. Some examples of Ocean Sports are Surfing, Longboarding, Bodyboarding, Para Surfing, Stand Up Paddle Surfing, Kneeboarding, Waveski, Surf Ski, Canoeing and Kayaking. All of the sports mentioned above are non-motorised, self - propelled and use the dynamic energy of waves to assist movement. 1. MOTIVATION 1. Ocean sports are only practiced in the ocean and there are relatively few venues where this can take place. 2. Ocean sportsmen and women do not congregate in groups. 3. Ocean sports do not involve any physical contact. 4. Ocean sports pose a lower health risk than cycling or running as any body fluids such as perspiration or saliva are immediately diluted in the sea water.

A translation by A.E. Hidden of the Queens University of Belfast indicates that they envisioned a “ship of the line” attached to shore by a gigantic lever, which would drive pumps or machinery. Twenty years earlier, however, a similar ship would cany back to England reports of a much older and more direct use of wave energy. The probable origins of surfing, which has since spread throughout the world, are described in The Surfer~sAlmanac, by Gary Fairmont R. Filosa II (New York: E.P. Dutton, 1977): Traveling a distance of almost 2,400 nautical miles from the South Pacific to the approximate geographic center of the North Pacific, two groups of settlers from Polynesia founded Hawaii. The first group in A.D. 400 came from the Marquesas; the second, ten centuries later, came from Tahiti, Bora Bora, and Moorea. The Marquesans brought to their new Hawaiian home their ancient sport of pai~io- riding a wave on a small, rounded board while lying prone, the sport today called bellyboarding or kneeboarding.

Hendricks COMMITTEE MEMBER: Dr. Camille O’Bryant COMMITTEE MEMBER: Dr. Jeffrey A. Jacobs iii ABSTRACT A QUALITATIVE EXPLORATION OF FEMALE SURFERS: RECREATION SPECIALIZATION, MOTIVATIONS, AND PERSPECTIVES By Tiyanya Anna Nourbakhsh DECEMBER 2008 Chair: Dr. William Hendricks Major Department: Recreation, Parks, and Tourism Administration This current study utilized recreation specialization and leisure motivation theory to explore the meanings, perspectives, and behaviors among female surfers. Despite numerous studies previously published regarding recreation specialization and leisure motivation related to activity participation, little research has been conducted on the activity of surfing from a female perspective. Data for this study were collected using in- depth, semi- structured interviews of nine women surfers from the California Central Coast. Content analyses of the data involved coding and identifying key themes, patterns, and categories. The dominant themes significant within recreation specialization included past participation (e.g., preceding activities to eventual participation and wave/swell conditions), perceived skills (i.e., skills important to surfing, perceived skill level), commitment (e.g., central to life activity, central leisure activity, affective attachment, and adoption of social/cultural values), and enduring involvement (e.g., attraction and sensory enjoyment).

  • The Effect of Artificial Reef Configuration on Wave Breaking Intensity Relating to Recreational Surfing Conditions Craig Michael
    THE EFFECT OF ARTIFICIAL REEF CONFIGURATION ON WAVE BREAKING INTENSITY RELATING TO RECREATIONAL SURFING CONDITIONS by CRAIG MICHAEL JOHNSON. A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment for the requirements of the degree of MASTER OF SCIENCE DEPARTMENT OF CIVIL ENGINEERING UNIVERSITY OF STELLENBOSCH Supervisor: D.E. Bosman Submitted for Approval in February 2009 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 owner of the copyright 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. Signature Date Copyright c 2008 Stellenbosch University All rights reserved Abstract Multi purpose reefs are a relatively new concept that incorporate functionalities of beach stabilization, breakwater/seawall protection, biological enhancement and recreational amenity. Economic benefits increase their attractiveness. There is, however, some degree of uncertainty in design guidelines as to the predictability of each of these aspects. With regards to recreational amenity enhancement, one such uncertainty exists in the ability to predict the reef configuration required to give a certain degree of surfability of a reef, and more specifically, to predict the shape of a plunging wave. An extensive survey of the relevant literature has been conducted to provide a background on multi purpose reefs and the uncertainties in predicting the success of multi purpose reefs in achieving their design objectives. A study of wave breaking has been done, along with an analysis of existing breaker height and breaker depth formulae. The effects of bottom friction, re- fraction, shoaling, winds currents and varying water level on wave breaking has been addressed.

  • The Case of Surfing
    RISK-TAKING & POSTMODERNITY: COMMODIFICATION & THE ECSTATIC IN LEISURE LIFESTYLES The Case of Surfing By Mark James Anthony Stranger B.A. (Hons) Submitted in fulfilinent of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Tasmania (August, 2001) s " Declaration of Originality This thesis does not contain any material which has been accepted for a degree or diploma by the University or any other institution, except by way of background information and duly acknowledged in the thesis, and to the best of the candidates knowledge and belief no material previously published or written by another person except where due acknowledgement is made in the text of the thesis. 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.
