Although the act of riding a wave started as a religious/cultural tradition, surfing rapidly transformed into a global water sport. The popularity of surfing is the result of events, innovations, influential people (http://www.surfertoday.com/surfing/9754­the­most­influential­people­to­ the­birth­of­surfing), and technological developments. Early surfers had to challenge the power of the oceans with heavy, finless surfboards. Today, surfing has evolved into a high­tech extreme sport, in which hydrodynamics and materials play vital roles. Surfboard craftsmen have improved their techniques; wave riders have bettered their skills. The present and future of surfing can only be understood if we look back at its glorious past.

  • Surfing Florida: a Photographic History
    Daytona Beach, 1930s. This early photo represents the sport’s origins in Florida and includes waveriders Dudley and Bill Whitman, considered to be the State’s first surfers. Having met Virginia Beach lifeguards Babe Braith- wait and John Smith, who worked and demonstrated the sport in Miami Beach with Hawaiian style surfboards in the early 30s, Bill and Dudley proceeded to make their own boards out of sugar pine. Pioneer waterman Tom Blake showed up shortly thereafter and introduced the brothers – and much of the rest of the world – to his new hollow-core boards. The Whitman’s were quick to follow Blake’s lead and immediately abandoned their solid planks for the higher performance and lighter weight of hollow boards. Blake and the Whitmans remained close friends for life, and the Whitmans went on to foster major innovations and success in every aspect of their interests. Dudley, pictured fifth from the left, still resides in his native city of Bal Harbor. Photo by permission of the Gauldin Reed Archive*, courtesy of Patty Light. * Gauldin Reed was among the State’s earliest waveriders and resided in Daytona Beach. His impact on the sport’s growth and the philosophy/lifestyle of surfing is equally enormous. Blake, the Whitmans and Reed shared a passion for adventure and remained the closest of friends. Call it what you like, the sport, art, or lifestyle of surfing has had a profound impact on popular culture throughout the world – and while they never actu- ally surfed, the Beach Boys captured its appeal best in their recording of “Surfin’ USA” – If everybody had an ocean, Across the U.S.A., Then everybody’d be surfin’, Like Californi-a.

  • 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.

  • Unnecessary Cruelty
    Surfing WORKSHEET A Surfing is something people often get hooked on after trying it a few times. For many surfers it is much more than a hobby – they would probably agree with the professional surfer Kelly Slater when he said, “Once you’re in, you’re in. There’s no getting out.” Surfing, of course, means riding on waves in the ocean using a surfboard. Many surfers stand up on their boards, which requires good balance and is therefore difficult for most beginners to learn, but some lie down (“bodyboarding”). The history of surfing probably began with the Polynesian people of the Pacific Islands. One of the first white people to see anyone surfing was the British explorer Captain Cook, when his ship arrived in Hawaii in 1778. He watched many Hawaiians riding waves on large pieces of wood, and saw that “they seem to feel a great pleasure.” When surfing started to become popular in the United States in the 1950s and 60s, surfers used large wooden boards (often more than 3 meters long) that were fairly heavy. Boards today are almost always shorter and also much lighter, because they are made of artificial materials instead of wood. For anyone who wants to try surfing, the only essential things are waves and a board. There are a few other things, however, that most surfers find important: a cord to attach one of their ankles to the board (and therefore stop the board going a long way away when they fall off); wax, which they put on the surface of the board to help their feet stick to it; and a wetsuit, to help them keep warm in cold water.

In the caption, he thanked everyone involved with the event for an unforgettable experience, and applauded Owen Wright S and John John Florence for their brash performances. Slater failed to specifically congratulate event‐winner Gabriel Medina, however. This perceived snub triggered an avalanche of nasty remarks, snowballing into a 1,000‐plus thread of warring comments from fans, friends, and haters. Nothing new here, of course, when it comes to the cacophonous cesspool of response that burbles below almost all content posted online: the usual dark, toxic brew of human folly, a global melting pot of sycophantic fan worship, mockingbird’s songs, troll‐thrown knives, and frat boy sexual harassment. What seemed more noteworthy in this instance was the caption that accompanied Slater’s next photo. “My next post was going to be dedicated to @gabrielmedina but I think I’ll let you wait for that one since it doesn’t sound like you’re all done telling me off yet.
