Beschreibung
This book stakes the claim formally and authoritatively that we have entered the technological era of surfing. This argument suggests that the most significant differentiating characteristic of the modern surf era is the common acceptance of new technological inputs and the feverous pace at which the surf industry accelerates and extends the technological arsenal available to surfers.
This book argues, it is time to step back and ask: what does it mean to surf in the Anthropocene Ocean? In what ways is technology improving or diminishing our experiences as surfers and the environments where we participate in it. Only when this dialogue occurs can we begin to understand technology in its present tense before considering what kind of future we can or want to create for the future of surfing.
