This Is The Real Surf Culture

I’m Jai Ashok Mahtani from South Africa. Many sportsmen can argue that their sport is not just a game, but a way of life. The said statement sounds fancy but is often more hollow and airy than the balls used in their games. When it comes to surfing, however, it’s a completely different story. How you may ask? Well, there are a lot of aspects when it comes to differentiating between surfing and other sports, but let us indulge in some of the major ones that are responsible for constituting the very essence of life in surfing. 

“This is the real surf culture” for me!!!

What Is Surf Culture?

Surf Culture has a completely different meaning than the one you might be thinking of. The depiction that is shown in pop culture and Hollywood is the polar opposite of what surf culture means. Surfing is a way of living life peacefully with your surroundings, be it human beings or animals or plants. It is the ultimate mantra of life that is channeled through a sport. Surfing can mean anything to anyone, but in its essence, surfing is a device developed by natives from the pacific islands for humans to live in concordance with nature and with themselves.

The History Behind Surfing

Every great game has an equally great story behind it, and such is the case with surfing as well. It was first recorded in 1778 by none other than the mythical English explorer: James Cook. His diary initially served as a testimonial to surfing being a game for savages. Little did James Cook know that nearly a hundred years later, his noble countrymen Mark Twain and Jack London would forever cement surfing into the history of the world through their works.

Literature had got surfing’s waves rolling, but it was a polar opposite event that popularised the sport in the country that spewed to the world its greatest surfer, Robert Kelly Slater. When the United States Of America captured the pacific islands, surfing was quickly picked up by American tourists as the US government was vigorously encouraging American citizens to visit Hawaii. 

The sport of surfing grew exponentially on all coasts of the USA, and surf culture was ‘officially’ welcomed to America and subsequently in the entire world, through the form of Beach Cinema.

Pop Culture

When beach movies like ‘Blue Hawaii’ with bigshots like Elvis Presely started popping up on the big screen, surfing culture was amended to suit the needs of consumerist America. Various movies and TV shows deviated significantly from true surf culture, so much to the point that surfing was considered as one of the ‘sexiest sports’ in America.

Such a telephonic rise resulted in Bikini surf shops, sexualized surf classes, and many more instances proving that in today’s overtly capitalistic world, traditional practices are severely mended to meet the consumer’s needs. Many natives of Hawaii didn’t consider American surf culture as the real surf culture and often regarded it as a form of disrespect to their home-grown sport.

Since the surf culture that we are familiar with due to the massive bombardment of ‘bikini surfing’ in movies is not the real surf culture, then what exactly did surfing represent?

Surfing And Religion

It comes as no surprise that a sport that is considered a way of life by many of its players has played a part in religion. The first and foremost connection between surfing and religion is water.

Water is the first offering that is given to any god in any culture. Water is where the divine resided when nothing was created. In Genesis, God is described to be hovering over water bodies. Muslims practice wudu. Baptism is something that every Christian baby has to undergo, and in Buddhism a clear bowl of water represents enlightenment. In Hawaii, raging waves are folklore for waves meant to be conquered by gods.

The connection of water, surfing, and religion can be attributed to some characteristics that are shown by all 3 of these things. Being immersed in water gives you a sense of calm, a vast sea is a sight of beauty, and water is the purest, smoothest, cleanest award of life there is. Water, surfing, and Religion. These 3 were interwoven since the quintessential legends of Hawaii and stories by Mark Twain were introduced to the world, but sadly their relationship has dwindled in popularity since pop culture boomed ‘sexy surfing’.

Surf Culture In The Modern World

Surfing is now arguably the most popular water sport in 2020 with over 20 million surfers worldwide. It is now recognized as an international sport with the World Surf League being the largest surfing association in the world. WSL also recognizes Hawaii as a separate surfing nation rather than it being a part of the United States of America, a necessary ode to the surfing hometown.

Although the surf culture is still recouping from the massive hit of representation it took from Hollywood, surf culture around the world is slowly returning to its roots. Instead of cheap snack and surf shops, traditional independent surfing shacks are popping that are run by people who want to honor the sport and not profit off of it. It would be safe to say that surfing is making a mark on people’s lives by not being just a game they play whenever a suitable wave arises, but by playing the quintessential role of balancing things out in our fast-paced lives. 

One reason why surfing is considered to be more than just a sport is because of its connection to water. As mentioned earlier, water is an important part of any religion, but in today’s growing atheist world water is not just about having faith. Experiencing water through surfing is a completely different sensation. Being provided with the calmness of water without its suffocation, allowing to build up composure, and being cut off from all earthly distractions makes surfing a suitable tool to help soothe the mind. 

Surfing is not about bikini babes and fast food, or about looking cool on waves, it is about living your life peacefully as it was intended to be.

World Surf League| Jai Ashok Mahtani

I’m Jai Ashok Mahtani, South Africa. I’m sharing with you World surf championship leagues.

World Surf League or WSL was established in 1976 under the name of International Professional Surfing by Fred Hemmings and Randy Rarick. The headquarters of the WSL is in Santa Monica, California, and is the world’s largest international surfing association. 

There were many predecessors to the World Surf League (or International Professional Surfing as it was known before) but WSL is the only international surfing association as many of its competitors including the International Surfing Association(ISA), or previously known as the International Surfing Association(ISF), represents individual professional surfers and not surfers that represent any particular country.

WSL started hosting women’s surfing events as well in the year of 1999 and announced equal pay to male and female WSL event champions on September 5, 2018. This decision was carried out by the CEO Stephanie Goldschmidt to ‘raise’ the level of women’s surfing and was integrated into WSL’s 2019 schedule.

The current World Surf League’s champions are Brazil’s Italo Ferriera (Men) and Hawaiin Carrisa Moore (women).

The WSL Facebook page has over 6.8 million likes, more than the NHL (National Hockey League), and Major League Soccer. It is also reported that 28 million hours of WSL’s content was consumed online. This makes World Surf League the 3rd most-watched sports league online only after the National Football League (NFL) and the National Basketball Association (NBA).

Seeing such a tremendous rise in fans and participants alike, Facebook signed an exclusive rights deal with the WSL for 30 million USD for 2 years in January 2018. This meant that all events of the World Surf League were broadcasted live on Facebook and were free to watch by every profile. 

However, it is interesting to note that in a statement by CEO Stephanie Goldschmidt that the viewership of WSL has increased by a whopping 25% after canceling the exclusivity rights given to Facebook. The deal fell through as Facebook could run ads on WSL’s live streams but did not share any revenue nor did it allow WSL to display ads.

The latest season of the WSL (2020) was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but the WSL has not lost hope and aims to start the 2021 qualifying season in November 2020 for women in Maui, Hawaii, and December 2020 for men in Oahu, Hawaii. This will only be allowed  if all preparations match the state government’s guidelines and are deemed safe for participants. Safety protocols for international travel will be ensured says the WSL and that the 2021 Championship tour will end with the new ‘The WSL Finals,' a single-day World Title Event in September 2021 in which the top 5 men/women surfers will battle each other out individually for their respective titles in a surf-off amongst the world’s toughest waves.

Rules And Regulations 

All participants are judged on a ranking system of 0.1 to 10 accordingly:

0–1.9 = Poor

2.0–3.9 = Fair

4.0–5.9 = Average

6.0–7.9 = Good

8.0–10.0 = Excellent

These scores are divided into increments of 10 and the player's performance is then evaluated accordingly. 

Judges

The number of judges varies with the type and size of the event as follows:

QS 1,000 - QS 3,000 (lower level competition) Qualifying Series events are required to have a six judge panel with four judges on each heat.

A QS 4,000 - QS 6,000 (intermediate level competition) Qualifying Series event requires seven judges with five of those judges on each heat.

At QS 5,000 - QS 10,000 (top-level competition) Qualifying Series events there are only 3 judges allowed from any one region.

In case of a tie-breaker or errors, all events appoint an approved WSL judge to solve problems regarding any event that may change the course of the competition and its result.

Criteria

Although the criterion for judging a surfer depends on the type of wave, event, and other constantly changing factors, it can be loosely defined into these 5 sections:

Commitment and degree of difficulty

Innovative and progressive maneuvers

Combination of major maneuvers

Variety of maneuvers

Speed, power, and flow

These points are not taken into account during longboarding competitions but are presented to the participants to get a uniform grip on the overall competition.

Right Of Way

As mentioned above there are no strict predefined rules for competitions. All of them vary according to the individual event and surfing conditions on that day. But all of them revolve around the single rule of Right Of Way. 

Right Of Way means that if a surfer has the inside position, i.e he/she is nearer to the breaking of a wave, then that particular surfer has a Right Of Way. Intersecting a surfer who has a Right Of Way leads to the call of interference and subsequent penalties. The Right Of Way is always considered even if the other surfer reaches the wave first. If a surfer has an inside position, he/she has the Right Of Way, and all other surfers if they intersect can be subjected to penalties.

Another rule that is uniform over the competition is a surfer having a set maximum number of waves he/she can catch in heat. If a surfer tries to catch or does catch more waves after they’ve reached their event threshold, they are penalized for interference as this hinders the ability of other participants to catch waves in heat. 

A surfer also cannot interfere with other participant’s maneuvering tactics and paddling. If they do they will again be penalized for interference. 

The interference penalties are called on by judges and are then voted on to be declared an actual penalty. A majority of judge votes are required for the surfer to be penalized. The scores of the penalized surfer are deducted according to the number of waves that are being judged:

Three or more waves are being considered- one wave score is dropped.

The top two waves are being considered- 50% of the second wave is dropped.

If a surfer has committed 2 interferences, then he/she will further be deducted 50% of his/her best wave score. If a surfer exceeds 2 interferences in heat then he/she is disqualified from the competition and asked to leave the event area. The surfer who was subjected to the interference is given another wave in the heat if it falls under the time frame.

Jai Ashok Mahtani | Surfboard Types and Uses

Jai Ashok Mahtani, South Africa- Surfboards literally come in all shapes and sizes. There are many different categories of surfboards and if you want to you can break them up into as many different categories as genres of heavy metal. However, there are five main types of surfboards: Shortboard, Fish, Funboard, Longboard, Gun and Tow. Continue reading below to learn more about the different surfboard types and uses.

ShortBoard

The exemplary portrayal of a shortboard is an engine (three blade) around 6 feet with a pointy nose. In any case, a shortboard can have any balance arrangement despite everything being viewed as a shortboard. The cutting edge of riding innovation and specialized surfing is done on a shortboard. Most shortboards are not ideal for fledglings as they compromise strength and oar speed for mobility. So as to get waves with this kind of a board you should be a solid paddler, have comprehension of where to take off on a wave just as having the option to siphon for speed to not lose the wave. A shortboard works best in bigger waves that are midsection high to twofold overhead. On the off chance that you are a finished novice surfer, help yourself out and don't begin on one of these. It will spare you a ton of disappointment.

Fish

The commendable depiction of a shortboard is a motor (three sharp edge) around 6 feet with a pointy nose. Regardless, a shortboard can have any equalization game plan in spite of everything being seen as a shortboard. The forefront of riding development and particular surfing is done on a shortboard. Most shortboards are not ideal for youngsters as they bargain quality and paddle speed for portability. In order to get waves with this sort of a board you ought to be a strong paddler, have perception of where to take off on a wave similarly as having the choice to guide for speed to not lose the wave. A shortboard works best in greater waves that are waist high to twofold overhead. If you are a completed amateur surfer, help yourself out and don't start on one of these. It will save you a huge amount of dissatisfaction.

Funboard

Funboards are surfboards that are somewhere in the range of 7 and 8 feet in length that have a wide nose, loosened up rocker and foil, and are intended for simplicity of riding in a wide scope of conditions. They are ordinarily known as eggs or mid lengths. A funboard can have any blade arrangement also, however they work best when they are worked with a balance arrangement and tail that you would see on a shortboard. Since these sheets have additional dependability and work in various waves they are useful for fledglings, however an all around planned one can function admirably as a one-board tremble for a professional rider also. Contingent upon rocker and blade setup, a Funboard can work in waves from knee high to well overhead.

Longboard

A longboard is a surfboard that is 8 feet and more and is intended for extreme soundness. This board ought to have a wide nose, a great deal of volume, and ought to be a solitary blade or 2+1. Longboards are the first surfboards in the riding scene, yet have not gotten away from development throughout the long term. There are longboards that are intended for elite longboarding just as the more customary nose riding and cruising. A solitary balance requires less rider input (more float) while a 2+1 arrangement gives you more hold with the cost of some coast. At the point when the waves are minuscule nothing fills in just as a longboard. Longboards are the ideal surfboard type for amateurs to learn on, yet they are hard to ride in normal beachbreak conditions. Longboards are best in lower leg high to waves that are simply overhead.

Gun

Not for the frail of heart or incompetent, a Gun is a specific surfboard intended for genuine, outrageous waves. The deliberate measurements on a Gun can be a lot equivalent to a longboard (in spite of the fact that they can be as short as in the 7ft territory too) however nobody could ever confuse a firearm with a longboard. A Gun will have a pointy nose and a pointy tail and can have any sort of balance arrangement. These are the most specific surfboards there are on the grounds that they are intended for rushes of outcome where the rider's life is actually at serious risk. Guns are for waves twofold overhead and up.

Tow Board

With the coming of stream ski-helped huge wave riding, there was a requirement for short, tight and low region sheets. The tow-in model was presented in the mid 1990s by Dick Brewer and first tried by Laird Hamilton. Tow-in sheets are outfitted with a little quad or engine balance arrangement, foot lashes, and are heavier than standard surfboards. Generally, tow sheets include pin or swallow tails, and range somewhere in the range of 6' and 6'6''.
