Book excerpt: For surfers and non-surfers, Surfing Down South offers a unique insight into Australia's surfing counterculture and a unique time in Australia's history. With a Foreword by legendary surfer Taj Burrow, the book covers the early days of surfing in Yallingup and Margaret River and records first-hand stories of those who experienced it. A research-heavy book, published by Margaret River Press and written by Sue Lyn Aldrian-Moyle (Chefs of the Margaret River Region), the book has been in production for two years, as stories and photos were collated from the baby-boomer surfers who surfed in Yallingup and Margaret River in the 50s and 60s. The book follows the often larrikin behaviour of young surfers who share riveting and humourous anecdotes of their antics and adventures: fisticuffs at Caves House, aerial acrobatics with local farmers, draft dodging during the Vietnam War, drug smuggling, setting up shaping businesses in settler's cottages, the organization of the first surfing competitions and building alternative style homes and businesses. Their recollections of surfing in WA during their youth are revealed as trailblazing and controversial, as the book steps back in time to the days before Landcruisers and when bear suits were worn as wet-suits, when surfers listened to Jazz and drove old Holdens and Volkswagens along dusty tracks and when farmers locked up their daughters when the surfers were in town. Archival vintage photographs in the book capture pivotal classic moments of surfing's history. Photographs by legendary surf photographers Ric Chan, John Witzig and John Ogden sit alongside engaging narratives from pioneering surfers such as George Simpson, Ian Cairns, and Rob Conneeley. This 'first' surfing book from young publishers, Margaret River Press has captured the era and location beautifully. "I'm stoked to see that the huge range of antics and anecdotes compiled by Sue-Lyn in this historic book about surfing in the Margaret River Region are now preserved for all to enjoy and to remind us of a very precious era." Taj Burrow

Book excerpt: The Rip Curl Story is the remarkable tale of two young surfers – Doug ‘Claw’ Warbrick and Brian Singer – who pursued an audacious dream to make a living in pursuit of the ultimate ride. The brand they built, Rip Curl, not only satisfied their own surf wanderlust, but also inspired countless others, riding the wave of the global youth revolution of the late ’60s. Rip Curl’s mantra became ‘the Search’: the pursuit of new waves on distant shores, new thrills – skiing, snowboarding, windsurfing – and better equipment to elevate the experience. Along the way they supported the careers of many of the world’s great surfers – from Midget Farrelly to Michael Peterson, Tom Curren to Damien Hardman, Pam Burridge to Stephanie Gilmore, and of course Tyler Wright and Mick Fanning. Bestselling surf writer Tim Baker tells this implausible story in an irresistible series of ripping yarns, offering rich life lessons, a maverick business primer and a wild ride of adventure, good times and outlandish ambitions spectacularly realised. The Rip Curl Story will make you want to surf more, travel further, follow through on that great business idea and pursue your own Search.

Download or read book Waves of Resistance written by Isaiah Helekunihi Walker and published by University of Hawaii Press. This book was released on 2011-03-02 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Surfing has been a significant sport and cultural practice in Hawai‘i for more than 1,500 years. In the last century, facing increased marginalization on land, many Native Hawaiians have found refuge, autonomy, and identity in the waves. In Waves of Resistance Isaiah Walker argues that throughout the twentieth century Hawaiian surfers have successfully resisted colonial encroachment in the po‘ina nalu (surf zone). The struggle against foreign domination of the waves goes back to the early 1900s, shortly after the overthrow of the Hawaiian kingdom, when proponents of this political seizure helped establish the Outrigger Canoe Club—a haoles (whites)-only surfing organization in Waikiki. A group of Hawaiian surfers, led by Duke Kahanamoku, united under Hui Nalu to compete openly against their Outrigger rivals and established their authority in the surf. Drawing from Hawaiian language newspapers and oral history interviews, Walker’s history of the struggle for the po‘ina nalu revises previous surf history accounts and unveils the relationship between surfing and colonialism in Hawai‘i. This work begins with a brief look at surfing in ancient Hawai‘i before moving on to chapters detailing Hui Nalu and other Waikiki surfers of the early twentieth century (including Prince Jonah Kuhio), the 1960s radical antidevelopment group Save Our Surf, professional Hawaiian surfers like Eddie Aikau, whose success helped inspire a newfound pride in Hawaiian cultural identity, and finally the North Shore’s Hui O He‘e Nalu, formed in 1976 in response to the burgeoning professional surfing industry that threatened to exclude local surfers from their own beaches. Walker also examines how Hawaiian surfers have been empowered by their defiance of haole ideas of how Hawaiian males should behave. For example, Hui Nalu surfers successfully combated annexationists, married white women, ran lucrative businesses, and dictated what non-Hawaiians could and could not do in their surf—even as the popular, tourist-driven media portrayed Hawaiian men as harmless and effeminate. Decades later, the media were labeling Hawaiian surfers as violent extremists who terrorized haole surfers on the North Shore. Yet Hawaiians contested, rewrote, or creatively negotiated with these stereotypes in the waves. The po‘ina nalu became a place where resistance proved historically meaningful and where colonial hierarchies and categories could be transposed. 25 illus.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Plight of the Torpedo People is a collection of bodysurfing photographs, frame grabs and personal essays documenting the making of Keith Malloy's first film, Come Hell or High Water--the first feature-length film to be made about the sport of bodysurfing--between May 2009 and August 2011. A winner of Best Film and Best Cinematography awards on the festival circuit, Come Hell or High Water explores the history and development of bodysurfing alongside the purity of experience that is riding a wave, taking a unique look at the culture and beauty of the sport, while capturing the stories and locations of those who belong to its community. The film's unanticipated popularity may well reflect the less-is-more, environmentally aware consciousness of our times; as the simplest of all ocean sports, bodysurfing requires little more than swim fins and some waves. The Plight of the Torpedo People is a collaborative work by the best bodysurfers of today, captured doing what they do best by some of the world's best surf cinematographers and photographers. With 69 photographs in color, the book includes an introduction by Keith Malloy.

Download or read book Into the Sea written by Jay Laurie and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Vividly and simply told, Into the Sea is about growing up behind the dunes, travelling into the unknown and living in rhythm with the sea. Billie (Will) is a small kid bleached by the ocean. He surfs. Riley’s bigger, bites his nails and pretends he does too. They roam their beachside suburb, nose drip over their first surf magazine and start to dream of far off places. Suddenly out of a heatwave, a fire erupts to take more than their bushland. Later, in their mid twenties, the friends reconnect driving across the desert. There they live in the heat, dust and cold salt water, amongst a melting pot of passing travellers and violent incensed locals. Riley forgets a girl he thought he knew and Will’s drug addiction gives way to blindness to life beyond the sea which may prove to be even more destructive. Musings around the campfire become real as Will leaves everything and heads for the tropical islands of Indonesia. At first a phone call, then a postcard, then nothing. Eventually Riley, in a strong relationship with stable work, sets out to try to track him down and, heading deep into the islands, starts to learn things he never knew he should. Through the early years of their friendship, Into the Sea touches on first freedoms, the seesawing transition from innocence to adolescence and the impact of sudden loss. In later parts, the novel richly evokes life on the road and the unpredictability of trusting to chance travelling in remote places. Along the way, it powerfully describes the landscapes of Australia and Indonesia and their people and captures what it is to ride waves, to be a surfer and, in a more subtle way, the trials, if not impossibilities, of loving one.
