Reviews

Dexter Zavalza Hough-Snee and Alexander Sotelo Eastman have produced a deeply informed and much needed critical counter-voice on surfing's dominant culture and media. This volume offers a range of interventions on the current state of wave riding and its many worlds. A go to volume for figuring out critical surf studies. --David Theo Goldberg, lifelong boardrider and author of Are We All Postracial Yet?

Focusing on surfing as a social act, these essays bring surfing into the study of postcolonialism, gender, ethnicity, media, and other fields. This collection offers the best surf studies scholarship to date. --Joan Ormrod, coauthor of On the Edge: Leisure, Consumption, and the Representation of Adventure Sports
