Description

The act of surfing involves highly-skilled humans gliding, sliding, or otherwise riding waves of energy as they pass through water.

As this book argues, however, this act of surfing does not exist in isolation.

It is defined by the cultures and geographies that synergize with it – by the places, ideas, images, and other representations which at once reflect, create, and commodify this spatial practice.

This book innovatively explores the spaces of surf and surf-riding, informed specifically by the perspective of human geography.

Based on a range of critical turns within the social sciences, the book explores the locations, relational sensibilities, and transformative nature of surfing spaces, and examines how the spatial practice has been scripted by dominant surfing cultures.

The book details how prescriptive (b)orders of access, entitlement, and marginalization have been created, and how, with the advent of new craft, media, and ideals, they are being actively challenged to redefine surfing spaces in the twenty-first century.
