Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 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.

Download or read book A Golden Age written by and published by National Geographic Books. This book was released on 2013-04-02 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Surfing’s formative period from 1965 to 1978, as shown through the most complete book of the iconic images of photographer John Witzig. Chronicling the great creative years in the evolution of surfing, the late 1960s and early ’70s, this engaging volume documents the revolutionary changes of the era—in board length, in surf style and technique—through the images of Australian photographer John Witzig. Witzig was not only photographing the scene, he was part of it, a group that included surfers Bob McTavish and George Greenough, and his images reflect both that access and that intimacy. In 1967, he created a firestorm of controversy with a Surfer cover story declaring that a core of young Australian surfers had redefined the sport, as evidenced by his friend Nat Young’s blazing win in the 1966 World Surfing championships. Witzig went on to capture the defining moments—the surfers, the draft-dodging back-to-landers, the radical developments of board design, and, of course, the waves, from Australia to Honolua Bay—of surfing’s most thrilling period. Soulful, poetic, iconoclastic, filled with rare images, this book is a unique look at surfing’s cultural revolution.

Download or read book Surfing Adventures of the 60s 70s and Beyond written by Andy Forsyth and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2009-02-01 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Author's Note The premise of this book is to give the reader a glimpse into what it was like to be a young surfer in the 60s and early 70s. These are the stories of what happened to my surfing buddies and me but more importantly they are the stories of the everyday surfer, the guys and gals who were out there going to the beach enjoying being young and living the lifestyle of that time period. Everyone who surfed or went to the beach has similar stories to tell. Over the years I've shared my surfing stories with people and listened to numerous stories as well. These are our adventures, experiences and the crazy things we did. The front and back cover design was done by Garry Birdsall of Australia. He was a top touring competitive surfer during the 60s, 70s and 80s in Australia and competitions around the world. He was the first person ever to do Air Brush artwork on a surfboard. And now it is about the only way boards are designed. I was born and raised in Pomona, Southern California during the 50s, 60s and early 70s. I always enjoyed going to the beach on our family trips and vacations and would sometimes notice people standing up on large boards while being pushed along on the water. It looked like fun but I didn't really know what they were doing because I was too young. Eventually when I understood that what they were doing was surfing I became interested in it and was hoping to one day give it a try. The 60s ushered in the beach and surfing music by the Beach Boys, Jan & Dean and numerous other groups. The music along with all the beach and surfing movies of the time only helped to spark our interest in surfing. By the mid 60s I finally got a chance to try my hand at surfing while on a beach trip with some friends and found out it wasn't as easy as they made it look. After countless hours of determination, many wipeouts I finally stood up and caught my first wave. Even though it was the soupy white water it still felt pretty neat. After that I couldn't get enough. I'd go as often as I could especially on nice weekends and during the summer. Then a group of guys at school were talking about going to the beach to go surfing and so one day we all went on our first surfing trip together. The title of the book "Surfing Adventures of the 60s, 70s and Beyond" refers to our adventures, experiences, misadventures and the wild, crazy and funny things that happened to us during the 60s and early 70s when we were going to the beach and surfing. The part "and Beyond" refers to not only a few other time periods and places other than Southern California but a few funny things that happened that had nothing to do with surfing. Music was an important ingredient in the surfing experience especially Beach and Surfing Music. A few of the lyrics of these surfing songs have been inserted throughout the book, including a few instrumentals. (But you'll have to use your imagination to hear the music for these though.) While in High School I began writing poetry and have written about 300 poems over the years. Some of the poems have been about the beach or surfing. I've included about 20 of these poems throughout the book as well. This book has been a lot of fun to write and I'm very pleased to share these stories and our adventures with you and I hope you enjoy them. I'm also hoping to put together another surfing book with your help. So if you have any funny, crazy interesting or hair raising stories that you've told over the years and would like to share with others then send them too me. I'd love to hear from you, as I've mentioned in other parts of the book. Send your stories to me at: [email protected]. Everyone who sends in their stories, if it is used, will receive full credit, acknowledgement and compensation (to be determined later) for their stories and will retain the rights to reuse their stories as they see fit. I believe there are a lot of people out

Book excerpt: The 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. 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.

Download or read book The World in the Curl written by Peter Westwick and published by Crown. This book was released on 2013-07-23 with total page 418 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A definitive and highly readable history of surfing and the cultural, political, economic, and environmental consequences of its evolution from a sport of Hawaiian kings and queens to a billion-dollar worldwide industry Despite its rebellious, outlaw reputation, or perhaps because of it, surfing occupies a central place in the American – and global – imagination, embodying the tension between romantic counterculture ideals and middle-class values, between an individualistic communion with nature and a growing commitment to commerce and technology. In examining the enduring widespread appeal of surfing in both myth and reality, The World in the Curl offers a fresh angle on the remarkable rise of the sport and its influence on modern life. Drawing on Peter Westwick and Peter Neushul’s expertise as historians of science and technology, the environment, and the Cold War, as well as decades of experience as surfers themselves, The World in the Curl brings alive the colorful history of surfing by drawing readers into the forces that fueled the sport's expansion: colonialism, the military-industrial complex, globalization, capitalism, environmental engineering, and race and gender roles. In an engaging and provocative narrative history – from the spread of surfing to the United States, to the development of surf culture, to the reintroduction of women into the sport, to big wave frontiers – the authors draw an indelible portrait of surfing and surfers as actors on the global stage.

Download or read book Encyclopedia of the Sixties 2 volumes written by Abbe A. Debolt and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2011-12-12 with total page 960 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Comedian Robin Williams said that if you remember the '60s, you weren't there. This encyclopedia documents the people, places, movements, and culture of that memorable decade for those who lived it and those who came after. Encyclopedia of the Sixties: A Decade of Culture and Counterculture surveys the 1960s from January 1960 to December 1969. Nearly 500 entries cover everything from the British television cult classic The Avengers to the Vietnam War and the civil rights movement. The two-volume work also includes biographies of artists, architects, authors, statesmen, military leaders, and cinematic stars, concentrating on what each individual accomplished during the 1960s, with brief postscripts of their lives beyond the period. There was much more to the Sixties than flower power and LSD, and the entries in this encyclopedia were compiled with an eye to providing a balanced view of the decade. Thus, unlike works that emphasize only the radical and revolutionary aspects of the period to the exclusion of everything else, these volumes include the political and cultural Right, taking a more academic than nostalgic approach and helping to fill a gap in the popular understanding of the era.

Download or read book The Critical Surf Studies Reader written by Dexter Zavalza Hough-Snee and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2017-08-17 with total page 490 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The evolution of surfing—from the first forms of wave-riding in Oceania, Africa, and the Americas to the inauguration of surfing as a competitive sport at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics—traverses the age of empire, the rise of globalization, and the onset of the digital age, taking on new meanings at each juncture. As corporations have sought to promote surfing as a lifestyle and leisure enterprise, the sport has also narrated its own epic myths that place North America at the center of surf culture and relegate Hawai‘i and other indigenous surfing cultures to the margins. The Critical Surf Studies Reader brings together eighteen interdisciplinary essays that explore surfing's history and development as a practice embedded in complex and sometimes oppositional social, political, economic, and cultural relations. Refocusing the history and culture of surfing, this volume pays particular attention to reclaiming the roles that women, indigenous peoples, and people of color have played in surfing. Contributors.
