It had been 15 years in a row that the Trojans had made a postseason appearance, with eight titles won in that span. But the 2020 men’s season will forever have an asterisk by it for all teams — as the coronavirus pandemic caused 2020 men’s competition to be pushed back to 2021. Instead of winding down in January after months of intense competition, USC men’s water polo is ramping up for a very different-looking season of action as 2021 unfurls. But don’t even begin to think that the different landscape ahead means the Trojans have different goals or different expectations for the competition to come. Tied at No. 1 in the national preseason rankings, Trojans already very much have their eyes affixed on extending that NCAA streak and adding — OUTLOOK SEASON — 2020-21 another trophy to their championship arsenal. “Our expectation is to compete and win,” USC head coach Marko Pintaric said. “I’m blessed to be surrounded by coaches and players who are very competitive. When you have that type of group you just keep nourishing that frame of mind. Our expectation is always to go out and compete and win a national championship.” The road to a 2020-21 title starts in Berkeley, as Cal hosts the first competition of the new year on Jan. 23-24. For the Trojans, it’s a long-awaited opportunity to see how these months of team Zooms, at-home workouts and eventual on-campus training as a team has shaped and prepared them for longed-for game action. Pintaric — along with his coaching staff of Casey Moon, Connor Virjee and Jeremy Davie — has some peace of mind in knowing that he has a potent combination of experience, leadership and emerging talent on his roster for the season ahead. Captains Jacob Mercep and Luke Wyatt — both lefties — are the veterans of the bunch, while goalies Nic Porter and Vaios Vlahotasios are both in their third seasons as Trojans. U.S. National Teamer and All-American Jake Ehrhardt comes off a significant sophomore season, while sophomores Marcus Longton and Chris Sturtevant logged a load of experience in their freshman campaigns. And that’s just scratching the surface of USC’s prospects for 2020-21. “I’m impressed with our leadership and work ethic,” Pintaric said, highlighting junior 2020-21 QUICK FACTS Alexander Lansill as an emerging leader for the Trojans. “We also have a very good Location: ...............................

  • 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.

  • BEST BEACHES No One Ever Gets As Much Beach Time in Hawai‘I As They Planned To, It Seems, but It’S a Problem of Time, Not Beaches
    HAWAI’I’S BEST BEACHES No one ever gets as much beach time in Hawai‘i as they planned to, it seems, but it’s a problem of time, not beaches. Beaches of every size, color (even green), and description line the state’s many shorelines. They have different strengths: some are great for sitting but not so great for swimming; some offer beach-park amenities like lifeguards and showers, whereas others are more private and isolated. Read up before you head out. O‘ahu Makapu‘u Beach. Quite possibly O‘ahu’s most breathtaking scenic view—with a hiking trail to an historic lighthouse, offshore views of two rocky islets, home to thousands of nesting seabirds, and hang gliders launching off nearby cliffs. While the white-sand beach and surroundings adorn many postcards, the treacherous ocean’s currents invite experienced body boarders only. Kailua Beach Park. This is a true family beach, offering something for everyone: A long stretch of sand for walking, turquoise seas set against cobalt skies for impressive photographs, a sandy- bottom shoreline for ocean swimming, and grassy expanses underneath shade trees for picnics. You can even rent a kayak and make the short paddle to Popia (Flat) Island. This is Windward O‘ahu, so expect wind. All the better if you’re an avid windsurfer or kiteboarder. Waimea Bay. This is the beach that makes Hawai‘i famous every winter when monster waves and the world’s best surfers roll in. Show up to watch, not partake. If the rest of us want to get in the water here, we have to wait until summer when the safe, onshore break is great for novice bodysurfers.
