Surf culture

src: 2.bp.blogspot.com

Surf culture includes people, languages, fashion, and lifestyles that surround surf sports. The history of surfing begins with ancient Polynesia. The early culture directly influenced modern surfing, which began to evolve in the early twentieth century, with its popularity soaring during the 1950s and 1960s (mainly in Hawaii, Australia, and California). It has influenced the music, fashion, literature, film, art, and jargon of youth in popular culture. The number of surfers around the world continues to increase along with the widespread culture.

The surfers' desire to ride the best possible waves makes them dependent on rapidly changing conditions, given the unpredictable nature of weather events and their effects on the surface of the oceans. Because surfing is limited by the geographic needs of the coastline with the coast, the culture of beach life often affects surfers and vice versa. The Surfer Magazine staff, founded in the 1960s when surfing has gained popularity with teenagers, usually say that if they work hard and someone shouts "Surfing!" the office will suddenly empty. Localism or territorialism is part of the development of a surfing culture in which individuals or groups of surfers claim some major surfing spots as their own.

The surfing aspect of the 1960s in Southern California, where it was first popularized, included woodies, bikinis and other beach clothing, such as board or baggies, and surf music. Surfers develop skateboards to be able to "surf" on land; and a host of other boardports.

Big Wave Culture

Non-competitive adventure activities involving the largest wave ride possible (known as "rhinoceros hunt") are also popular among surfers. A practice popularized in the 1990s has witnessed a massive surge of surf revolutionized, as surfers use private boats to pull them into positions where they can capture previously unparalleled waves (see surfing ins and outs). This previous wave can not be delayed because of the speed of its journey. Some waves reach speeds of more than 60 km/h; Private vessels allow surfers to catch wavelengths, so they can drive. Personal vehicles also allow surfers to survive. In many cases, surfers will not survive the beating of the "set" (collective wave pool). This spectacular activity is very popular among television crews, but because such waves are rare in densely populated areas, and usually only very far out to sea on the outer reef, some viewers immediately see such events.

Although surfers come from all walks of life, the foundation of beach stereotypes comes from the great enthusiasm that surfers can have for their sport. Dedication and perfectionism is also a quality brought by surfers to what many people have traditionally regarded as a commitment to lifestyle as well as sport.

For certain surf spots, tidal conditions can play an important role in wave quality or the danger of surfing there. Tidal variations vary greatly among different global surfing regions, and the effect of tides at certain points can vary greatly between the points in each area. Locations such as Bali, Panama and Ireland fluctuate 2-3 meters, whereas in Hawaii the difference between high and low tides is usually less than one meter.

Every surfing wave is different, because the underwater topography is in one place like no other. At the beach break, sand dunes can change shape from week to week, so it takes commitment to get good waves.

The saying "You should be here yesterday," becomes a phrase commonly used for adverse conditions. Currently, however, surf forecasting is aided by advances in information technology, where mathematical modeling graphically depicts the size and direction of waves that move around the world.

The search for the perfect waves has led to the field of tourism based on surfing adventures. Charter cruises and surf camps offer surfers access to high-quality surfers found in remote tropical locations, where traders ensure offshore conditions.

Along with the scarcity of surfers who consider absolutely perfect wave conditions (due to changes in weather and wave conditions) and the inevitable big waves hunt, surfers are often dedicated to their sport in a way that obstructs a more traditional life. Surfing, on the contrary, becomes their lifestyle.

The goals of those who practice the sport vary, but throughout its history, many see surfing as more of a sport, as an opportunity to harness waves and to relax and forget their daily routine. Surfers have strayed from this beaten path, and set aside the traditional goals of the first world culture in the hunt for sustainable stoke, harmony with life, their surfing, and the ocean. This "soul surfer" is a living and old subgroup. Competitive surfing culture, centered around surfing contests and support agreements, and localism's disruption to peace, often seems to contradict this.

Maps Surf culture

Localism

Although the waves break along the coast, good surf spots are rare. Surfing waves that form large waves can easily become a coveted commodity, especially if the waves rarely break out there. If this break is close to a large population center with many surfers, territorialism often arises. Ordinary surfers who live around the desired surf break may often keep it jealous, so the expression "only locals." The phrase "only locals" is common among coastal cities, especially those seasonally encroached by tourists living outside the area. Localism is expressed when surfers engage in verbal or physical threats or harassment to prevent people surfing in certain surfing spots. This is partly based on the belief that fewer people mean more waves per surfer.

Some locals have been known to form loose gangs that surf in certain respite or beaches and malignantly protect their "territory" from outsiders. These surfers are often referred to as "surf punks" or "surf nazis." Local surfer gangs in Malibu and Hawaii, known as da hui, have been known to threaten tourists with physical violence for attacking their territory. In Southern California, on the beaches of Venice and Santa Monica, local surfers are particularly hostile to surfers from San Fernando Valley whom they call "vallies" or "valley kooks". The phrase "Surf Nazi" appeared in the 1960s to describe territorial, aggressive, and obsessive surfers, often involved in surfing gangs or surf clubs. The term "Surf Nazi" was originally used only to show strict territorialism, violence and hostility to outsiders and an absolute obsession with surfing that is characteristic in so-called "surf nazi." However, some surfers took over and accepted the term, and some actually embraced Nazism or Nazi symbolism. Some surf clubs in the 1960s, especially in Windansea in La Jolla, embraced the term by using the swastika symbol on their boards and identified with Nazism as a counterpoint (though this may be just an attempt to prevent or frighten the locals and may be embrace the tongue-in-cheek label "surf nazi" as a form of rebellion). The "locals" attitude and the protection of surfing spots in Santa Monica in the early 1970s are depicted in the Lords of Dogtown film, based on my Dogtown and Z-Boys documentary.

Localism is often present due to socioeconomic factors as well. Until now, surfers are seen as lowly lazy people on the fringes of society (hence the term "beach bum.") Many of the surfers are locals from coastal cities who live there year-round, and come from lower-class economies. For that reason as much as others, these groups hate outsiders, especially those who are rich and come to their beaches for recreational surfing rather than as a way of life. Australia has its own history in which surfers are openly treated with hostility from the local government in the early days of the sport, and the tension is never completely lost, even though the sport has greatly increased in popularity. Maroubra Beach in Australia became famous for localism and other violence sticking out in the Bra Boys documentary about the eponymous group, although the surfers in this movie kept them instead of "gangs."

The surfing gangs

Surf gangs are often formed to preserve cultural identity through the protection of coastal cities and coastlines. If the area is known to be violated by other surfing gang members, violence usually occurs. Long Beach is home to one of the oldest and largest surf gangs, called "Longos." Some waves gangs have been known to not only claim land territories, but also claim certain surfing waves as territories. Surf gangs have gained fame over the years, especially with the production of Bra Boys.

The Lunada Bay Boys (at Palos Verdes Estates, California) became the subject of a class action lawsuit in 2016.

Wolfpak

The Wolfpak originally consisted of a select few surfers from Kauai, Hawaii who believed in respecting localism. Kauai, according to a Wolfpak member, is a place where people are raised to honor the value of reverence. This value is what causes the group's efforts to manage the turmoil associated with North Shore surfing. Some famous members have become professional surfers Andy Irons and Bruce Irons, as well as the star of reality show 808 and actor Blue Crush, Kala Alexander.

Wolfpak started in 2001 when leader Kala Alexander moved to the North Shore to look for job opportunities, and discovered the disorganization and lack of respect in the surf ranks on the sidelines of the reef break, Pipeline. Alexander feels the need to dictate the organization that will surf the Pipeline to retain value, and also protect surfers from potentially life-threatening waves of corals.

Waves on the Pipeline can reach over 20 feet and a strong disposition has taken the lives of professional surfers. If a visiting surfer collides with another surfer, this could result in serious harm or death. This observation leads to proactive enforcement of Wolfpak on the North Shore.

Wolfpak's territorial enforcement has attracted attention because of its means of violence. In an incident in which a tourist cut a friend of Alexander in a dangerous six-foot wave, Wolfpak's leader attacked the tourist. Comments from anonymous local residents show that Wolfpak's presence is well understood, if not intimidating. Some locals with similar cultural values ​​support what the members are trying to do.

Alexander does not see Wolfpak as a gang, but says they look out for every local Hawaiian. They are trying to maintain their way of life and realize the implications that a lack of respect can occur in Hawaiian culture.

Bra Boys

The Bra Boys is a popular surfing gang established in Maroubra, a seaside area in the Eastern Suburbs of Sydney, Australia. They established international fame and attention in 2007 with the release of Bra Boys: Blood is Thicker than Water , a documentary about the bonds and struggles of many gang members. The name of Bra Boys originated both from slang for siblings, and as a reference to the outskirts of the gang house, Maroubra. The gang members tattooed "My Brothers Keeper" in front of their chests and Maroubra area code on their backs.

Many of the Bra Boys come from poor families and families torn apart by drug use. Brothers Sunny, Jai, Koby and Dakota Abberton, came from a very difficult education. For them, Bra Boys are much more than gangs, they are a group of friends, their own surfing family and always standing for each other. The documentary, written and directed by the gang members themselves, shows the rough side of surfing life previously enlivened by Hollywood.

Women in surf

Like men, women start surfing in ancient Polynesia. This is especially documented in the waters around Hawaii. Until the 1830s these women were actively involved in surfing. This changes when American missionaries come to the islands and tell them that it is inappropriate for women to surf. Women did not start surfing around the islands of Hawaii again until the late 1800s. At the end of World War II surfing there will be a major awakening that increases its popularity and membership. Women are encouraged to surf by two early board designers, partly because these people believe that surfing will help women to keep their feminine figures.

There will be another increase in the popularity of women's surfing just a decade later as they are increasingly becoming a part of surf movies. One example is the Trilogy and TV series Gidget based on a book with the same title. Apart from this, it is still believed that women should be spectators rather than surfers.

Because of the negative reactions women receive because of their involvement in surfing, labeled as 'masculine' or 'tomboyish', women begin to take ownership of their participation. This is seen in their cooperation to organize a surf competition for women. There are competitions for women held in the 50s and 60s but this is an amateur event. The 70s and 80s there was a shift in this case when women entered the world of professional surfing competitions. This led to a change in the style that women were surfing at the time by focusing more on their strength and speed as athletes rather than aesthetically to the viewers. Today, professional female surfers continue to experience difficulties when recognized as athletes, and must deal with the ongoing objectification and sexual gaze of the audience.

Professional female surfers also noted that they face wage inequalities when compared to their male counterparts. Women do not win the same amount of prize money as men. These women also point out that salary equality issues arise when it comes to corporate sponsorship by surf brands. There is a priority here for brands to recruit surfers who look more conventional but not the most talented surfers.

Surfing Terminology

Surfing (especially in Southern California) has its own sociolect, which has been rolled up with Valleyspeak. Words such as "dude", "tubular", "radical", and "gnarly" are associated with both and Northern California creates its own unique wave term including "groovy", "hella" and "tight". One of the main terms used by surfers around the world is the word "trigger". This refers to mixed feelings and jubilation to the crashing waves. Surfers are often associated with idlers or 'beach bums' (with women known as 'beach rabbits').

Bunny Beach

beach bunny is a popular North American cultural term for young women who spend their free time on the beach. In the culture of surfing can also refer to the female surfer. Coastal rabbits are known for the amount of time they spend on sunbathing and are usually represented by wearing bikinis, see Muscle Beach Party and Gidget.

Shaka's Sign

The shaka sign, associated with Hawaii, unknown origins, is a common greeting in the surfer culture.

Issues affecting surfers

Environmental damage, and increased riparian development may continue to increase pressure on exercise. Oil spills and the growth of toxic algae can threaten the surfing region.

Some of this pressure can be overcome by building artificial corals for surfing. Some have been built in recent years (one in Cable in Western Australia), and there is widespread enthusiasm in the global surfing community for additional projects. However, environmental opposition and strict coastal licensing rules dampen the prospects for building such reefs in some countries, such as the United States.

Surfing and environmentalism

Surfing, as a sport, relies heavily on a healthy environment. As a result, interest groups have grown to influence the utilization of coastal properties that are relevant for surfing. There is a conflict between surfers and other user groups over the allocation of coastal resources. The most common for disputes are two issues, waste disposal and toxic waste into the waters near the shore and the formation of harbors, breakwaters and docks. Toxic waste and waste almost always affect mammals in a negative way. Coastal construction and engineering projects can have good or bad effects on surf breaks. While some sources suspect the effectiveness of environmental group surfers, important victories have been achieved by surfers who are fighting for their problems. Some examples of these wins include:

• In 1991, the Surfrider Foundation and the EPA won, at that time, the second largest Water Act lawsuit in history. The $ 5.4 million lawsuit against two paper mills, Louisiana-Pacific Corporation and Simpson Paper Company resulted in the creation of a Humboldt Area Recreational Enhancement and Water Quality Fund and $ 50 million spent by the plant to reduce the release of the oceans at their facility near Eureka, CA.
• In 2008 the US Department of Commerce upheld the California Coast Commission's decision to refuse a $ 1.3 Billion California State Highway 241 extension that will impact the popular and world-renowned surf site Trestles near San Clemente, California. This decision is a victory for surfing environment activists leading grassroots campaigns to "Save Trestles, Stop the Tol Road." At that time federal officials received 35,000 written statements on the matter, mostly to support the enforcement of CCC decisions.
• A global example can be found in the case of the newly formed World Surfing Reserve in Ericeira Portugal dedicated in October 2011 and authorized by Portuguese President AnÃÆ'bal Cavaco Silva. President Silva "recognizes the importance of preserving the coastline of surfing... for Portugal's economic vitality, coastal and marine environmental health, and maintaining a high quality of life for the population." The conservation of this pure surf spot is achieved by the Save the Waves Coalition and its World Surfing Reserves program aimed at "proactively identifying, establishing and maintaining exceptional waves, surfing zones and the surrounding environment, worldwide...."

Surf tour

The surf industry is a multibillion-dollar industry whose popularity as a leisure sport has gained momentum in many coastal regions around the world over the last few decades. By publishing new surf destinations through television, movies, magazines, and the internet, and other media, as well as greater access to travel accommodation, surfing tourism has created a huge impact on local communities and the environment in developing countries as well as in developing countries. regions around the world. Tourism is not always the main reason for rapid expansion in developing countries, but under such circumstances activist and nonprofit groups such as Surfrider Foundation, SurfAid, IJourneyGreen, the Surf Resource Network, the World Tourism Organization, NEF, and UNESCO have begun working with local residents and their governments to minimize the negative impacts of tourism on the host community environment and maximize and distribute the positive impact of tourism equally. Some of the negative impacts of tourism that are relevant to the dominant surf community are:

• Failure to create an adequate level of work and income
• Loss of local skills and failure to provide skilled jobs for local residents
• Labor exploitation
• Distribution of unfair tourism costs and benefits
• Rapid and unstable infrastructure development that can lead to coastal erosion and safety and health issues
• Improper waste and pollution disposal
• Lack of political will to pursue sustainable tourism
• Lack of human and economic resources
• Central and local government corruption
• Short-term focus destroys long-term goals for development

Some of the positive impacts of tourism that are relevant to exploring the dominant community include:

• Level of association with domestic economy
• Job creation
• Fostering appropriate technology transfer
• Generation of work for skilled workers as well as local managers, technicians, and personnel
• Equity of social, sectoral, and regional costs and benefits
• Coordinate government policies and programs for locals and foreign visitors
• Infrastructure and incentives
Spirituality

Many surfers combine their love for sports with their own religious or spiritual beliefs. In Huntington Beach, California, for example, local non-denominational Christian churches sometimes meet on the beach for Sunday morning services. After the closing prayer, the pastor and congregate row for the morning session. Many surfing communities organize and take part in commemorative ceremonies for fallen surfers, sometimes on anniversaries like the annual Eddie Aikau funeral ceremony held at Waimea Bay, Hawaii.

Participants at the funeral rowing row to a location corresponding to a leis flower on their neck or with a loose flower (sometimes held between their teeth). The participants then go into a circular formation, hold hands, and pray silently. Sometimes they will raise their crashed hands up before throwing their flowers or leis to the ring center. After that, they rowed back to shore to start their surfing session. Often these services are done at sunrise or sunset. In locations with wharves, such as Huntington Beach, Orange County, California, services can take place near the end of the dock so any non-surfers, like elderly relatives, can watch and participate. Often participants at the dock will throw a wreath into the center of the ring.

Mode

Swimwear is a popular casual outfit, inspired by surf culture. Many brand names related to surf come from home-based industries, which supply local surfers with boards, wetsuits, surfboards or leashes, and other hardware.

Australia's earliest surfing fashion company is Kuta Lines, founded by Tony Brown after visiting Bali in 1973. Brown adapted Indonesian textiles and designs for his diving suit. From the 1980s, Kuta Lines used traditional weaving and dyeing techniques, adapted to heavier, gentler fabrics for cool climate surfing.

Some other clothing brands include O'Neill, Rip Curl, Quiksilver, Town & amp; Country, Pacific Ocean, Billabong, Oakley, DaKine, Reef, Roxy, Volcom, Element, Hurley, Von Zipper, Golden Breed, and RVCA.

Bikini

Bikini is an iconic swimsuit. It was popularized in Europe initially but later popularized in the United States after being seen worn by famous Hollywood stars. Based on this popularity film used bikinis to market their movies. Bikini creates a connection between sexuality and exoticism seen in Pacific Island community and culture. Over the years, women have no choice not to wear bikinis because no other swimsuit is tailored to their needs. This changed because the style of surfing clothing was adopted by those who were not part of the culture. The company started making board shorts specifically for women's bodies, thus giving them options other than bikinis to wear while surfing in the competition. This is useful for both female and brand surfers as it provides women with more choices of clothing and creates more revenue for the company.

Events

International Surfing Day celebrates sport and lifestyle on June 20th.

Surf contest

Competitive surfing is a comparative sport. Riders, who compete in pairs or small groups, allocate a certain amount of time to ride the waves and display the greatness and mastery of their craft. Competitors are then assessed on the basis of how competent the wave, including the degree of difficulty, and the frequency of maneuvers. There is a professional surfing world surfing championship series that is held annually at surf breaks around the world.

Although competitive surfing has become a very popular and lucrative activity, both for its participants and its sponsors, this sport has no origin as a competitive pursuit. It is common to hear angry debates between the pure people of the sport, who still maintain the ideal of "soul surfing", and the surfers involved in the competition and, consequently, the commercial side of the activity. An organization called Spirit of Surfing has chosen not to accept sponsoring surfing labels, since such associations can dampen the sentiments they want to promote.

Surfing in multimedia

Movies about surfing

Surfing culture is reflected in the film. Bruce Brown's classic The endless Summer surfing in the world is looking for the perfect wave. John Milius's confession of Malibu's youth at Big Wednesday remains a moving reflection for the equality between wave and life change. The 1980's classic culture of the North Shore and the Fast Times at Ridgemont High serve as a major introduction to youthful, light and shallow surfing life (from "the times of glory"). Beach movies such as the Gidget series, and Beach Party such as Beach Blanket Bingo are depictions of less respect for culture. Liquid Time (2002) is an avant-garde surfing film that focuses only on the liquid form of the tube wave. Blue Crush (2002) is a film about surfer girls on Hawaii's North Shore. The sequel, Blue Crush 2 (2011) is a film about a California rich girl who travels to South Africa to find out more about her mother and herself. The 1991 1991 Point Break involved a group of bank robbers who were also surfers. The comedy film 1987 Surf Nazis Must Die shows the surfer gangs after the devastating earthquake of California's shoreline. Surfer Soul is a biosphere film about Surfer Betani Hamilton in Hawaii.

Some film shows include Sydney Fringe Festival, Bondi Beach, Sydney, Australia. The Surf Film Festival, the Saint Jean de Luz Film Festival, the Wavescape Surf Film Festival in South Africa, and the New York Surfing Film Festival.
