New Holland Publishers Surfing in the Sixties: The culture, the music
Book SynopsisThe 1960s was a decade like no other ... the culture, the music and the fashions. It also saw a surfing boom that bred innovation in surfboard design, changes in lifestyle, and most importantly, the development of surf ' photography. Mal Sutherland, John Pennings, Barrie Sutherland and Bob Weeks were pioneers of the genre four young guys who blended their love of the beach with a passion for photography. Contrasted with this era when the whole planet goes surfing, in Australia in the sixties, riding a surfboard was the exclusive domain of either the very poor, or the wealthy. Consequently, many of us chose the poverty path, throwing our fate to the winds, rejecting the post-war consumerism and the suburban, Saturday Evening Post dream. We just went surfing, with no thought to tomorrow. Consequently, our cars were old jalopies crammed with bodies and boards, to share the petrol pennies around. Our wardrobe was goodwill and sparse.Our dreams were of next day's surf, which meant five or six hours of paddling, take-offs, speed trim thrills, and attempting new manoeuvres as they were developed. We made better and better boards as our skill level quickly increased. Hunting for new surf spots was a major part of our culture along Australia's massive coast. This book represents a snapshot into the imagery of the time, a time now known as the golden era of surfing'. There were perhaps a dozen committed surfing photographers (total) in the 1960s, so this book represents a significant portion of the 35mm film shot in Australia through this decade, making Surfing in the Sixties' an even more valuable record. Surfing in the 1960s was a counterculture all to itself, attracting some flamboyantly colourful characters who collectively, yet unconsciously, changed the face of modern surfing with their far out surfing style and surfboard innovations. Surfing and surfers were very much on the fringe of society, not interested in a conventional job and the mainstream way of life. The 1960s are often glorified and romanticised, yet, without being sentimental, surfing is part of the folklore. Surfers were a personification of everything that the counterculture was pursuing freedom, exploration, innovation, change and discovery all in bare feet and boardshorts! With a foreword by surfing legend Bob McTavish, Surfing in the Sixties' showcases more than 300 iconic images for a new generation, and for those of us who remember a simpler time on the beach

Lexington Books Surfing and the Philosophy of Sport
Book SynopsisSurfing and the Philosophy of Sport uses the insights gained through an analysis of the sport of surfing to explore key questions and discourses within the philosophy of sports. As surfing has been practiced dynamically, since its beginnings as a traditional Polynesian pursuit to its current status as a counter-culture lifestyle and also a highly professionalized and commercialized sport that will take part in the Olympic Games, it presents a unique phenomenon in the world of sport from which to reconsider questions about the nature of sport and its role in a flourishing life and society. Daniel Brennan examines the foundational issues about defining sports, their role in conceptualizing the good life, the aesthetic nature of sport, the place of technology in sport, the principles of Olympism and surfing’s embodiment of them, and issues of institutionalized sexism in sport and the effect that might have on athletic performance.Trade Review"Reading this book felt like catching a long mellow wave on a summer’s evening: being gently pushed along through a wealth of philosophical literature framed by smooth, beautiful, and original writing. Daniel Brennan knows his philosophy and his surfing and has managed to weave the two together seamlessly. This book enables both the philosopher and the surfer to understand each other’s craft and its value." -- Emily Ryall, University of Gloucestershire"What a pleasure to read an expert perspective on surfing through the lens of philosophy. This book adds layers of philosophical depth to the experiences surfers have been championing for years." -- Craig Sims, Bond UniversityTable of ContentsAcknowledgmentsIntroductionChapter 1: Surfing and SportChapter 2: Waves and Wipeouts in UtopiaChapter 3: Drawing Lines on Waves; surfing and the aesthetics of sportChapter 4: Making Waves: Surfing and TechnologyChapter 5: Surfing’s Olympian MomentChapter 6: Surfing like a Girl: Sexism in Surf Culture and Feminine MotilityChapter 6: Surfing like a Girl: Sexism in Surf Culture and Feminine MotilityConclusionBibliographyAbout the Author

Transworld Publishers Ltd Cliffs Of Insanity: A Winter On Ireland’s Big
Book SynopsisSurfing in Ireland was once considered little more than a fringe and slightly lunatic pursuit. The treacherous coastline and ice waters of the Atlantic did not sit comfortably with the stereotype of surfing as the favoured pastime of the bronzed and privileged. But with the discovery in the past few years of the gargantuan Aileen’s wave at the Cliffs of Moher and other heavy waves, the Irish coast has become one of the worst kept secrets in world surfing.In Cliffs of Insanity, the Irish Times sportswriter Keith Duggan tells the story of a dedicated group of surfers in County Clare whose lives revolve around the pursuit of Ireland’s wildest waves. The book traces the evolution of Fergal Smith, the young Mayo man whose intuition for big waves has earned him a serious reputation and explores the world of Mickey Smith, the roving Cornish man who discovered Aileen’s and whose breathtaking surf photography has caught the Irish landscape in an entirely new and original light.Bitter cold days, broken bones, busted boards, scars, near drownings and countless hours in the freezing water trying to read the ocean is the price they pay for those few transcendent seconds when they master a wave. Cliffs of Insanity is about the importance of pursuing what matters in life but it is also about community and friendship, and the passionate pursuit of a way of life that flies in the face of everything championed in Ireland over the last decade.Trade ReviewBeautifully written. Compelling. -- Malachy Clerkin * Off The Ball, Newstalk *Duggan presents a rare and intimate window into a little-understood world. ...
