Black-out à Black’s Beach : un surfeur sauvé in extremis
http://blog.surf-prevention.com/2010/03/08/accident-de-surf-noyade-sauvetage/
Encore une énième histoire d’accident de surf qui prouve qu’il faut mettre un casque quand on surfe et que tout le monde devrait connaître par coeur les gestes de secourisme. Alors qu’il surfait le spot de Black’s Beach en Californie, le surfeur local expérimenté Chris Ryan est parti sur une droite qui fermait. Ensuite, il ne se [...]

<p>Encore une énième histoire d’accident de surf qui prouve qu’il faut <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.surf-prevention.com/fiche-port-du-casque-9-4.php">mettre un casque quand on surfe</a> et que tout le monde devrait connaître par coeur <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.surf-prevention.com/fiches-premiers-secours-6.php">les gestes de secourisme</a>. Alors qu’il surfait le spot de Black’s Beach en Californie, le surfeur local expérimenté Chris Ryan est parti sur une droite qui fermait. Ensuite, il ne se souvient plus de rien…et pour cause, Chris Ryan a bien failli y passer…</p>
<p>Victime d’un traumatisme crânien (provoqué par le choc contre sa planche ou contre le fond), Chris Ryan a perdu connaissance. Et quand on perd connaissance dans l’eau, on se noie (a fortiori dans les grosses vagues qu’il y avait ce jour-là à Blacks Beach…).</p>
<p>Heureusement pour lui, un étudiant en médecine du nom de Phillipe Duhaime qui surfait par là, l’a repéré flottant inanimé la tête dans l’eau (depuis combien de temps ?). Le hasard faisant très bien les choses le sauveteur Dylan Jones était également à l’eau et les a aidés à sortir. Un médecin se trouvait justement sur la plage (le Dr Mark Bracker, père du surfer pro Ryan Bracker).</p>
<p>Notre équipe d’urgentistes improvisée a réalisé <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.surf-prevention.com/fiche-comment-faire-un-massage-cardiaque--79-6.php">un massage cardiaque</a> et <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.surf-prevention.com/fiche-comment-faire-le-bouche-a-bouche--80-6.php">un bouche-à-bouche</a> parfaitement coordonnés qui ont permis au surfeur, en stade IV de <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.surf-prevention.com/fiche-accidents-de-surf-39-5.php">la noyade</a>, de recouvrer ses esprits.</p>
<p><a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://blog.surf-prevention.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/Bouche.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-5219" title="Comment faire le bouche a bouche en cas de noyade a apprendre sur www.surf-prevention.com" src="http://blog.surf-prevention.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/Bouche.jpg" alt="Comment faire le bouche a bouche en cas de noyade a apprendre sur www.surf-prevention.com" width="600" height="450"/></a></p>
<p>Il a été hospitalisé au <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.scripps.org/locations/hospitals__scripps-memorial-hospital-la-jolla">Scripps Memorial Hospital</a> où on lui a notamment fait un scanner cérébral qui n’a pas retrouvé d’hémorragie intra-crânienne. Ses jours ne sont plus en danger.

<p>Ce sauvetage n’est pas sans rappeler <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://blog.surf-prevention.com/2009/07/26/noyade-dune-surfeuse-a-la-grande-plage-de-biarritz/">mon intervention de cet été</a> où je m’étais retrouvé avec un chirurgien et une sauveteuse pour porter secours à une surfeuse noyée à Biarritz suite à un trauma crânien…</p>

Mark Healey s'impose dans un Todos Santos massif

<p><strong>Todos Santos Big Wave Event.<br />
</strong><strong>Todos Santos, Baja California (Mexique)</strong></p>
<p>Grosses conditions pour le Todos Santos Big Wave Challenge. Après un mois d'attente, le swell a enfin permis aux organisateurs de lancer la compétition. Et quelle compétition ! Tous les éléments avaient été réunis pour faire de cette journée un grand moment : la crème des big-wave riders (Greg et Rusty Long, Shane Dorian, Mark Healey, Mike Parsons, Ken Collins...) et des vagues de 12 mètres et plus pour satisfaire tout ce petit monde !</p>
<p>Lâchés par le sponsor principal quelques semaines avant le lancement de la waiting-period, les organisateurs ont bien failli ne pas pouvoir assurer l'événement. mais c'était sans compter sur la solidarité entre big-wave riders : Greg Long, récent vainqueur de l'Eddie Aikau, a accepté de donner une partie de son prize-money pour boucler le budget ! Quelque chose d'inimaginable sur le circuit WQS par exemple !</p>
<p>Pas de prize-money pour ce contest d'ailleurs. Un élément qui n'a dissuadé personne, les surfeurs n'étant pas là pour la gloire mais pour le spirit et l'adrénaline avant tout. La seule reconnaissance qu'ils acceptent est celle de leurs pairs, point barre.</p>
<p>Dans des conditions massives, c'est l'Hawaiien Mark Healey qui remporte la victoire, grâce à 2 vagues notées respectivement 9,5/10 et 10/10. Une belle performance pour celui qui avait déjà fait parler de lui cet hiver en surfant la plus grosse vague de l'hiver à Waimea aux côtés de Shane Dorian (<a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k1QMjn8Wu_E"><strong>voir vidéo</strong></a>). Mark Healey remporte à Todos Santos sa première grande victoire internationale, devant son compatriote Shane Dorian justement... Le Chilien Ramon Navarro (dont le pays avait été dévasté la veille par le séisme la veille de la compétition) s'adjuge quant à lui la troisième place. Mention spéciale au Péruvien Gabriel Villaran qui remporte l'award de la plus grosse vague.</p>
<p>Les organisateurs de la compétition, qui tentent de créer un Championnat mondial de gros surf, désigneront prochainement le premier Champion du Monde au vu des résultats des épreuves du Chili, du Pérou et de Todos. Pour le moment, les instances organisatrices de l'Eddie Aikau et du contest de Mavericks refusent d'être rattachées à ce circuit mondial. Des décisions qui privent ce circuit mondial de 2 épreuves pourtant significatives. A suivre...</p>

<p><strong>Classement final :</strong></p>
<p>1/ Mark Healey</p>
<p>2/ Shane Dorian</p>

Dakhla : Festival de Surf et de Musique au Maroc
http://blog.surf-prevention.com/2010/03/09/maroc-dakhla-surf-windsurf-kitesurf-sup/
Je découvre trop tard que se déroulait du 22 au 28 février 2010, la 4e édition du Festival de Dakhla présentée par l’Association Mer et Désert. Et j’ai bien les boules d’avoir raté ça !

<p>Je découvre trop tard que se déroulait du 22 au 28 février 2010, la 4e édition du <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.dakhla-festival.com">Festival de Dakhla</a> présentée par l’Association Mer et Désert. Et j’ai bien les boules d’avoir raté ça ! Alors que <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KrAbxqlM_Vs">je me caillais les miches en France </a>au coeur de cet hiver particulièrement rude, je découvre qu’à quelques heures d’avion seulement se trouve le paradis sur terre des sports de glisse: surf, stand-up paddle, longboard, windsurf, kitesurf…</p>
<p>Je connaissais déjà <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.surf-prevention.com/informations-surf-trip-anchor-point---maroc-4-4.php">Taghazout</a>, située plus au nord, pour y avoir surfé ses superbes droites il y a quelques années. Dakhla a l’air d’offrir un climat encore plus clément en plein hiver. Le Maroc offre clairement un potentiel énorme pour les sports de glisse comme le SUP, le surf ou la planche à voile. On a même vu récemment <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://blog.surf-prevention.com/2009/11/05/kelly-slater-au-maroc/">Kelly Slater au Maroc</a> pour l’inauguration d’un hôtel. Les sports nautiques sont un facteur d’attractivité touristique qui permet le développement socio-économique de certaines régions du Maroc comme Dakhla.</p>
<p>Dakhla se situe à l’extrême sud du Maroc dans la région Oued Eddahab-Lagouira au niveau du Sahara Occidental. On y trouve du soleil, de la chaleur, un plan d’eau exceptionnel et même une vague world-class sur le spot de Foum Labouir qui abrite une longue droite sur laquelle les compétitions de surf ont eu lieu. Les surfeurs marocains comme Abdel El Harim ou Yassine Ramdani étaient présents.</p>
<p><iframe class="embeddedvideo" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/t4adrpFFGJk&hl=fr_FR&fs=1&rel=0&color1=0xe1600f&color2=0xfebd01" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="640" height="385"></iframe></p>
<p>Quelques-uns des meilleurs watermen européens se sont retrouvés à Dakhla pour surfer les vagues ou pour battre des records de vitesse à l’occasion de la « Dakhla Longue Distance », course de vitesse la plus longue du monde sur 40 kilomètres pour les champions de vitesse en windsurf ou en kite. Voir les résultats des épreuves ci-dessous. </p>

<p>Les jeunes locaux ont pu profiter d’initiations au kitesurf ou au stand-up paddle comme on peut le voir sur ces images de <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.zumaprod.com/">Zuma Production</a>.</p>
<p><iframe class="embeddedvideo" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="640" height="385" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/WvIHyP3d_lo&hl=fr_FR&fs=1&rel=0&color1=0xe1600f&color2=0xfebd01"></iframe> </p>
<p>Et ce n’est pas tout. Il y avait également un festival de musique avec Youssou N’Dour en vedette qui présentait son tout nouvel album Dakar-Kingston.</p>
<p></p>
<p>L’année prochaine, je pars couvrir l’événement pour Surf Prévention !</p>

Santé : la facture très salée de la Grippe A…
http://blog.surf-prevention.com/2010/03/08/grippe-a-facture-cout-milliards-euros/
Alors que certains intervenants attendent encore d’être payés, le JDD a sorti hier une estimation chiffrée sur le coût de l’épidémie de Grippe A en France, qui dépasse allègrement le milliard d’euros. Rappelons que la Grippe A, dans la forme que nous avons connue, est une maladie bénigne ou asymptomatique dans l’immense majorité des cas. Vous me [...]

<p>Alors que certains intervenants attendent encore d’être payés, le JDD a sorti hier <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.lejdd.fr/Societe/Sante/Actualite/Grippe-A-Une-facture-qui-depasse-le-milliard-177513/">une estimation chiffrée sur le coût de l’épidémie de Grippe A en France</a>, qui dépasse allègrement le milliard d’euros. Rappelons que la Grippe A, dans la forme que nous avons connue, est une <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://blog.surf-prevention.com/2009/12/29/grippe-a-aucun-symptome-dans-80-des-cas/">maladie bénigne ou asymptomatique dans l’immense majorité des cas</a>. Vous me demanderez alors comment de grands experts ont pu se planter à ce point quant à la dangerosité du virus… Alors que les généralistes voyaient de simples grippettes dans leurs cabinets, on entendait encore récemment de grands spécialistes exhorter la population à se faire vacciner, quitte à subir les effets secondaires du vaccin.</p>
<p>Comment y a-t-il pu y avoir un aussi grand décalage entre le terrain et les hautes sphères de la santé ? En France, la réponse est claire : le Ministère de la Santé a choisi de se déconnecter de la base des médecins généralistes et de mettre en branle <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://blog.surf-prevention.com/2009/11/28/vaccin-grippe-a-medecins-generalistes/">une organisation vaccinale ubuesque dans des gymnases et autres salles polyvalentes</a>.</p>
<p><a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://blog.surf-prevention.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/Campagne-de-Vaccination-contre-la-grippe-A-H1N1.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-5203" title="Campagne de vaccination contre la grippe A H1N1 - tags image vaccin seringue aiguille" src="http://blog.surf-prevention.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/Campagne-de-Vaccination-contre-la-grippe-A-H1N1.jpg" alt="Campagne de vaccination contre la grippe A H1N1 - tags image vaccin seringue aiguille" width="424" height="283"/></a></p>
<p>Bien sûr, il est facile de faire la morale à la fin de l’épidémie mais le décalage entre la réalité et les décisions prises pose question. Autant j’avais été surpris par <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://blog.surf-prevention.com/2009/04/30/grippe-mexicaine-la-france-est-elle-prete/">le manque de réactivité et le laxisme au début de l’épidémie</a> : devant un virus potentiellement dangereux, je vous rappelle que nous avions laissé aller et venir les gens d’un continent à un autre sans interrompre les liaisons aériennes, et sans même mettre les patients à risques en quarantaine… A mesure que des données rassurantes sur la virulence du virus étaient disponibles, on entendait au contraire les medias nous faire peur avec les quelques cas graves isolés. J’ai même entendu des annonces de grippe A mortelles dans les medias, avant même la confirmation virologique chez le patient…</p>
<p>Ce scandale a mis en lumière le lien étroit qui unit certains experts et l’industrie pharmaceutique. Un chercheur ne peut travailler sans les subventions privées de l’industrie. Mais ne faudrait-il pas nommer des experts indépendants et « désintéressés » pour orienter la politique nationale et mondiale de santé ? Quand on apprend que tel expert a reçu des millions d’euros de la part d’un labo qui fabrique un vaccin, cela laisse rêveur quant à l’énorme conflit d’intérêt qui existe. Et ce n’est pas la simple transparence qui permettra de lever les doutes. A mon sens, un véritable expert sur ce genre de question ne devrait pas recevoir un centime de l’industrie pharmaceutique. Quand je pense qu’on interdit maintenant aux médecins de recevoir d’un laboratoire un simple abonnement à une revue médicale, pourquoi ne pas étendre cette politique contre les conflits d’intérêts aux chercheurs et autres éminences grises de l’OMS ?</p>

The road to freedom

Most of us shy away from philosophy. It’s irrelevant; too complex, too boring, too time-consuming. But did you know that ‘philosophy’ translates literally from Greek as ‘love of wisdom’? So if your idea of a good education is spending hours on Swaylocks researching displacement hulls, you can still safely consider yourself a philosopher. Or a [...]

<span id="more-4512"></span><br />
Surfing is a surprisingly good prism through which we can look at life. But why do we surf? And can the answer to that question help us to understand how we live our lives in general?</p>
<p>The most traditional way of understanding our place on earth was first struck upon by Aristotle, more than 2,000 years ago. He suggested that each of us has a predetermined ‘essential’ destiny to fulfil, and to not achieve that was to fail at life. Such a way of thinking seems to pervade surfing – what surfer hasn’t felt a sense of destiny, of belonging, the first time they slide down the face of a wave? The experience is something we long to inherit or pass on. In Hawai’i, giant olo boards were handed down through generations of watermen, and today, groms from surfing dynasties like the Currens or the Keaulanas apparently still feel the same irresistible pull towards the ocean. In the south of France I saw, carved into a lifeguard hut, a line paraphrasing Simone de Beauvoir, which I thought summed this up pretty well – “One does not become a waterman, but is born one”.</p>
<p>Which brings us to a school of thought that lies at the opposite end of the spectrum to Aristotle’s vision of destiny – existentialism. Here, we are free to make exactly what we want of life: it is a blank page waiting to be written. Existentialism is that ‘living in the moment’ sensation we feel when we surf. Once you’re in the water, that wondrous moment when you feel at one with the wave, when everything comes right and you’re swept up, pushed along, taking that first breath of cool, salty air as the spray licks your face and you spring to your feet, when the day’s cares vanish and your mind becomes a beautiful blank, totally tuned into the ocean – that’s existentialism. It’s the love of the present without recourse to the past or future. When I spoke to <a rel="nofollow" title="Andy Martin on Drift" target="_blank" href="http://www.driftsurfing.eu/index.php/archives/4210">Andy Martin recently</a>, he mentioned how the great existentialist Jean-Paul Sartre likened life to surfing in that, unlike skiing, it “leaves no trace”.</p>
<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-4515" style="margin-top:20px;margin-bottom:20px;" title="biarritz" src="http://www.driftsurfing.eu/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/img_0246.jpg" alt="biarritz" width="600" height="450"/>But all this freedom that existentialism supposedly offers us comes with a catch: we are “condemned to be free”, said Sartre. The more we surf, the more we need to surf. What starts as a tickle becomes an insatiable itch that must be scratched. And as the passion for that existential moment becomes overriding, we must eschew the destructive conformity of regular life in search of waves, or risk the spiritual death of living in “bad faith”. Not such an easy task for those unable or unwilling to shrug off the mundanity of education, family life and regular work.</p>
<p>So what is it to be, surfing and life as ‘essential’ or ‘existential’? Who knows, and frankly does it matter? Whether you feel you were always meant to be on a board, or you caught your first wave as the result of some happy accident, most surfers would agree that the sense of freedom they get from slipping across the ocean is what it’s all about. Sure, we might not actually be ‘free’ – but for those few moments, nothing else really matters. Some things simply defy categorisation.</p>

<p>Faites une « surf thérapie » pour aller tous les jours au soleil ! Cette recommandation peut sembler en décalage par rapport aux mises en garde contre les dangers du soleil. Mais une exposition solaire très régulière, si elle est limitée*, est indispensable pour vivre en bonne santé. Nous avons tous besoin du soleil et de ses rayonnements ultraviolets (UV) pour synthétiser une vitamine indispensable au bon fonctionnement de notre organisme : <span style="text-decoration:underline;">la vitamine D</span>.</p>
<p>La vitamine D est synthétisée au niveau de la peau par transformation de dérivés du cholestérol sous l’effet des rayons UV du soleil. La vitamine D permet à l’intestin d’absorber le calcium et de le fixer sur les os, ce qui nous permet d’avoir un squelette solide. Elle prévient <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rachitisme">le rachitisme</a> chez l’enfant et <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.doctissimo.fr/html/sante/encyclopedie/sa_1078_acie.htm">l’ostéomalacie</a> chez l’adulte. Elle est utilisée associée au calcium dans le traitement de l’ostéoporose en prévention de fractures de vertèbres ou du col du fémur.</p>
<p>La vitamine D préviendrait également des maladies graves comme certains cancers (sein, côlon, ovaires ou certains lymphomes malins non-hodgkiniens) et des maladies cardio-vasculaires (<a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://americanheart.mediaroom.com/index.php?s=43&item=345">selon la très sérieuse American Heart Association</a>, un déficit en vitamine D serait associé à une augmentation du risque de survenue d’infarctus du myocarde ou d’accident vasculaire cérébral, du fait notamment du rôle supposé de la vitamine D dans la régulation de la tension artérielle).</p>
<p>Son action sur le système immunitaire permettrait de diminuer le risque de souffrir d’une grippe ou d’une pneumonie ; la vitamine D pourrait également diminuer le risque de contracter un diabète de type 1 ou <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.surf-prevention.com/fiche-wingnut-105-15.php">une sclérose en plaques</a>.<br /> <br />
A la sortie de l’hiver, notre taux de vitamine D dans le sang est souvent dans les chaussettes, du fait du manque d’exposition au soleil. On estime qu’environ 3/4 des personnes vivant en Europe et en Amérique du Nord (Canada, Etats-Unis) sont déficitaires en vitamine D (25-hydroxyvitamine D). Pour y remédier, il convient de sortir quotidiennement de chez soi et de profiter du moindre rayon de soleil pour exposer au moins son visage quelques minutes, même au coeur de l’hiver.</p>
<p>La <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.surf-therapie.fr/">« surf thérapie »</a> offre l’avantage d’une exposition au soleil quotidienne. La durée moyenne de 30 minutes de « surf thérapie » par jour que je vous préconise est largement suffisante pour faire le plein de vitamine D.</p>
<p>La vitamine D peut également être apportée par l’alimentation (dans les poissons gras, dans le jaune d’oeuf, le beurre ou encore le fromage). Il faut privilégier l’action sur le mode de vie ou sur l’alimentation pour normaliser son taux de vitamine D. Ces mesures sont le plus souvent suffisantes. Dans certains cas, une supplémentation médicamenteuse sera envisagée par votre médecin pour parvenir à l’apport conseillé de 1.000 UI (unités internationales) par jour environ.</p>
<p>Une personne saine qui mange équilibré et qui réalise quotidiennement une « surf thérapie » dans un endroit ensoleillé n’a pas besoin de supplémentation. Pour diagnostiquer une carence en vitamine D, votre médecin traitant vous prescrira une prise de sang avec dosage du 25-hydroxyvitamine D.</p>
<p>* 10 à 20 minutes d’exposition solaire par jour suffisent pour booster la synthèse de vitamine D par la peau. On sait aussi que c’est à partir de ce temps d’exposition que le risque de coups de soleil apparaît, d’autant plus rapidement que <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.surf-prevention.com/fiche-phototypes-107-7.php">le phototype</a> est clair. Pour une exposition solaire supérieure à dix minutes, <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.surf-prevention.com/fiches-la-peau-du-surfeur-7.php">les mesures de protection solaire</a> (vêtements, ombre, crème solaire, etc.) sont indispensables. Hors exception (<a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://blog.surf-prevention.com/2009/08/02/les-enfants-de-la-lune-decouvrent-locean/">enfants de la lune</a> par exemple), une courte exposition au soleil quotidienne ne veut pas dire augmentation du risque de cancer de la peau. Il faut surtout éviter d’attraper des coups de soleil. Se protéger de la surexposition solaire ne veut pas dire l’éviter totalement. Certaines personnes ont peur du soleil au point d’utiliser tous les moyens pour l’éviter complètement, au risque de connaître une carence en vitamine D…</p>

<p class="separator">The <a rel="nofollow" title="wishthound" target="_blank" href="http://thewishthound.posterous.com/">wishthound</a> gave me a new skateboard a month or so ago, much to my wife’s disgust I might add.</p>
<p class="separator"><span id="more-4520"></span> Since then i’ve spent an enjoyable number of hours (in upstanding member of the community fashion not like a ne’er do well abusing council property or anything :-)) rolling around Barnstaple’s new-ish skatepark. I have discovered a few things:</p>
<p class="separator">
<p class="separator">Firstly I’d forgotten how much fun skating is, not having ridden anything other than a big long skateboard for 5 years. I can actually remember how to do some tricks though i’ve forgotten more. Each time I leave for home, I remember something else that I should have tried, a trick that used to languish in the bottom of the trick bag. all those years ago. There is still that same satisfaction from landing something (however simple now) and rolling away clean that never changes.</p>
<p class="separator">
<p class="separator">Secondly, I don’t bounce like I did 10 years ago. I have a fraction of the bottle I used to have – gone are the days of throwing myself down sets of stairs with abandon. The threat of broken limbs & their consequences loom ever larger and well, concrete is hard and it hurts, for a lot longer as well at my advanced age. In the wishthound’s words, the ability curve for surfing is gradual but with an overall upward trend for most of your life, with skating it peaks early and it’s pretty much all downhill from there, but if you’re having fun, who cares right?</p>
<p class="separator">Thirdly, like surfing, it never truly leaves. Skateboarding was a big part of my growing up, becoming a man, it shaped my future path in life in a way that I only recently understand. It changes how you look at the physical world we interact with on a daily basis and I don’t think you ever fully forget that or ever lose the desire to skate, it’s just your body that lets you down. Even though there are a couple of long periods when I haven’t rolled around, it’s always in there bubbling away under the surface.</p>
<p class="separator">
<p class="separator">Finally kids today have it easy! The park in the pictures is one of at least five small skate facilities (off the top of my head) within a 30-minute drive, in a relatively rural area, all well built and good to skate. Back in the early nineties, my friend’s mum fought for years for our midland council to build some ramps and when they did it was virtually unusable. Skateboarding is acceptable now in a way that it never was when I started (though there is still a punk ethos like there used to be once you dig beneath the shiny veneer of Tony Hawk & the x games)</p>
<p class="separator">Kids today learn tricks in their first year that were beyond the imagination of the pros of the eighties and it’s easy to learn them because the boards are light and you can see things to inspire you in magazines, dvd’s, on youtube and in your local town. Things never used to be like that (please excuse the monty python style “it were hard in my day” monologue but..)</p>
<p class="separator">Take learning to ollie for example, essential basic skating building block. That took us ages to learn, we had heard reference to it and seen stills of people in the air but never actually seen a video or much less anyone do it in real life. Our town had no older skaters to copy and it wasn’t until a friend of a friend managed to get a photocopy of a “how to” from an old mag that we managed to see how it was done, before that it might as well have been magic. In fact I can still remember the afternoon my friend and I first managed to properly leave the ground.</p>
<p class="separator">Steve Pezman has a great quote in Andrew Kidman’s ‘Glass Love’ where he talks about surfing as you get older being just as challenging and rewarding even though your actual ability level might be decreasing as your body ages. His point is that as even the simpler things become harder, the satisfaction in still achieving them increases and the sum total of joy (or stoke if you like) in that is the same as it ever was. I think he’s right and the same applies to skating, surfing, pretty much any physical activity</p>
<p class="separator">
<p class="separator">So here’s to my fellow old skaters with a peter pan complex! It’s a shame I have a princess-obsessed daughter, because a son might have given me the perfect, spouse-approved, excuse to keep going!</p>
<p class="separator"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-4522" src="http://www.driftsurfing.eu/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/barny3big.jpg" alt="barny3big" width="600" height="578"/></p>
<p class="separator">
<p class="separator">
<p class="separator">
<p class="separator">Incidentally I just saw the latest Flip Skateboards movie (Extremely Sorry) The level of skating is fully RIDICULOUS! I always have a soft spot for Flip, being the phoenix from the ashes of Classic Brit brand Deathbox & sponsors of two of my favorite ever skaters Tom Penny & Geoff Rowley. Their new dvd is well worth a watch if you get the chance, just not with any young impressionable children in attendance!</p>

Awkward questions are asked, and not many answers given. A must see if you are an ocean lover.</p>
<p><span id="more-4481"></span><br clear="all"></p>
<p>This film was sent to us by <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.endofthelinemovie.co.uk">The Fish Film Company</a>, and documents the findings of a book by Charles Clover, the Environment Editor of the Daily Telegraph.</p>
<p>In the film we see how fishing companies have depleted fish stocks to a point where recovery is impossible. In particular the film follows the fate of the Blue Fin tuna, but also highlights the plight of the Atlantic cod, a species fished to just ten per cent of its global numbers in recent years.</p>
<p>The film focusses on the lack of awareness amongst the public, and why there is a lack of political will to change the fishing methods throughout the globe. The film asks some very awkward questions of offenders, and shows why it is effectively easy to fish a species to death. </p>
<p>Central to the theme of the film is the idea that as a result of climate change, one of the biggest challenges we face is the ability to feed ourselves. The film reminds us that if we had not fished the oceans to the brink, we would be able to count on fish stocks as a sustainable method of food production in the future. The film highlights how international companies can often buy fishing rights in developing countries, leaving the local population unable to fish for themselves or their families.</p>
<p>It’s an enlightening, if depressing, insight into the worlds fishing industry.</p>

South Coast Surf Shop’s Top Sales Team Grab their Shred Sticks and Head North to Hang with ...

The swell charts were looking good and Tom Curren claimed to have a few spots up his sleeve, so the South Coast boys packed their bags to head north. We rolled around the corner of a Ventura hideaway where Tom sat watching his boys, Frank and Pat, tear up a left-hand beach break.

<p>A l’occasion de <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.internationalwomensday.com/">la Journée Mondiale de la Femme</a>, nous aurions pu aussi parler de la progression spectaculaire du surf féminin ces dernières années. Après le règne de <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://blog.surf-prevention.com/2009/05/17/layne-beachley-prend-une-bombe-a-ours/">Layne Beachley</a> (<a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.beachley.com.au">septuple championne du monde</a>), le circuit de compétitions des filles est outrageusement dominé depuis presque 5 ans par la jeune australienne Stephanie Gilmore.</p>
<p>Celle-ci a très bien commencé sa saison en quête d’un 4e titre consécutif de championne du monde de surf. Sur son spot de Snapper Rocks, devant ses amis, dans des vagues de un mètre, la triple Championne du Monde de Surf ASP a pris le meilleur sur la finaliste hawaiienne Melanie Bartels. Les scores n’ont pas volé bien haut avec une première vague à 6.83 et un petit 5.57 pour un total de 12.40 sur 20 pour Gilmore contre 10,36 pour Bartels (6.33 et 4.03).</p>
<p><a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://blog.surf-prevention.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/Gilmore1.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-5233" title="Photo de la surfeuse Stephanie Gilmore championne du monde de surf - tags surfeuse blonde australie competition surf fleurs rose jolie belle fille" src="http://blog.surf-prevention.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/Gilmore1.jpg" alt="Photo de la surfeuse Stephanie Gilmore championne du monde de surf - tags surfeuse blonde australie competition surf fleurs rose jolie belle fille" width="640" height="427"/></a></p>
<p>« C’est vraiment un début de saison idéal. Je ne m’attendais pas vraiment à gagner ici. Les vagues n’étaient pas terribles et je n’ai pas réalisé un surf incroyable, et je pense que Mel a le même sentiment, mais au final, je suis heureuse de gagner, c’est incroyable ! ». C’est la 3e fois que Stephanie « Happy » Gilmore gagne à Snapper depuis son incroyable succès à l’âge de 17 ans en 2005 (<a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://blog.surf-prevention.com/2009/03/08/stephanie-gilmore-remporte-le-roxy-pro-gold-coast/">elle avait gagné en 2009 également</a>).</p>

Surfers tend to visit the beach in the mornings and evening - when conditions are best and they are not at work. On the other hand beachgoing tends to happen mostly in the middle of the day. Surfers also tend to visit the beach throughout the week or when conditions are good, where as beach going more typically occurs on the weekends.<br /><br />Understanding this pattern is very important when considering the economics of beach going.<br /><br />Many studies on the<a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://noep.mbari.org/nonmarket/"> economics of beach going</a> rely on intercept surveys to collect their data. Intercept surveys that take place in person at a site and interview visitors while they are at the beach. It is also during this time that many attendance counts are conducted to estimate how many visitors use the beach in a given day or year.<br /><br />These surveys are often conducted in the middle of the day when beach going is at its maximum. In these cases a large portion of the surf visitation may be missed. This will lead to an underestimate of the overall use of the beach and also disproportionately miss surfer visits.<br /><br />This could have many implications about the value of the beach and its management.<br /><br />When calculating the lost value associated with the <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://noep.mbari.org/nonmarket/pubDesc.asp?389">American Trader oil spill</a>, Chapman and Hanemann avoided this pitfall by surveying beach visitors from 6 AM to 6 PM and found that at some Orange County beaches surfers made up 10-20% of the beach visits. This is one of the only studies on beach economics that specifically made an effort to survey early and late to capture surfers.<br /><br />We found a similar patter at <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.surfrider.org/surfecon/Nelsen_2007_TrestlesEconImpact.pdf">Trestles</a>.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7422193777029349802-593332180053819201?l=surfeconomics.blogspot.com' alt=''/></div>

Atlantique > Açores > Sao Miguel
http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/surfsession/~3/wWWIBMv7bME/
Découverte d'une des îles de l'archipel des Açores, au large du Portugal...
http://www.surfsession.com/?p=6869
Sat, 13 Mar 2010 11:39:11 +0000
<p><strong>Sao Miguel : la porte d’entrée des Açores</strong></p>
<p>En allant planter un des 8 WQS Prime en plein mois d’août à Sao Miguel, l’ASP ne s’y trompe pas et ce 2ème Azores Pro consacre l’archipel portugais comme une destination d’été de premier ordre. Un peu comme les Maldives il y a quelques années. Certes, l’environnement de ces îles volcaniques ne ressemble en rien à des atolls mais l’eau y est cristalline et la sensation océanique y est intense ! En tous cas, l’eau y est plus chaude qu’au Portugal, surtout en été.</p>
<p>Les 2 plages de sable noir de Monte Verde et Santa Barbara à Ribeira Grande donnent un beachbreak généreux, exposé au nord, avec des vagues puissantes, qui se démolissent avec les vents de nord. C’est le seul beachbreak régulier des Açores ! On trouve aussi de bons beachbreaks sur la côte sud à Agua de Alto et surtout Populo mais c’est plus rare et la proximité de Ponta Delgada, la capitale, procure pas mal de monde à l’eau. Par longue houle de sud l’été, les gauches de Populo peuvent être dantesques ! Les autres gauches sont les reefbreaks de Santa Iria (accés galère mais balade à couper le souffle), Rabo do Peixe (proximité d’un port un peu sordide mais jolie vague), Faja do Araujo (rarissime) et Ribeira Quente (devant d’immenses blocs de béton).</p>
<p>Quant aux droites, on trouve deux semi-pointbreaks à Mosteiros dans un décor somptueux mais soyez prêts à slalomer entre les rocks ! Entre les sessions, allez jouer dans les piscines naturelles, vous faire chatouiller par les sources d’eau chaude ou promenez-vous dans les Caldeira (lacs volcaniques) et vous ne résisterez pas de partir au large voir les dauphins et baleines (juin-sept). N’oubliez pas les autres îles (8) : Santa Maria â côté de Sao Miguel, Terceira, Sao Jorge, Faial et Pico dans le groupe Central…</p>
<p><strong>La bonne période</strong></p>
<p>L’avantage géographique d’être en plein milieu de l’Atlantique Nord, c’est de choper la houle par tous les côtés et donc d’être surfable toute l’année. Le plus fréquent est la fenêtre d’Ouest à Nord-Est mais attention, les dépressions circulent vite d’Ouest et Est et la houle peut passer rapidement. Pour la houle de Sud-Ouest à Sud-Est, c’est soit des fronts qui passent plus bas ( Sao Miguel, même latitude que Lisbonne) avec une houle courte de S-O, soit des houles ultra-longues qui arrivent de l’Atlantique sud : c’est assez rare (juin-Sept) mais quand c’est le cas, ce sont plusieurs jours de conditions de rêve !</p>
<p>Comme la température de l’eau est remarquablement stable (18-22°c), la question de « quand partir » est vraiment liée à celle du climat, doux et humide en hiver et chaud été aéré en été. Bref, le climat est invariablement variable : ça change rapidement pendant la journée mais il n’y a jamais d’extrêmes : rarement trop frais, rarement trop chaud. On peut tomber sur de sérieux épisodes pluvieux mais ça ne dure pas ! Venez en Juin-Juillet ne serait-ce que pour les hortensias, qui enluminent toute l’île.</p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>Infos voyages </strong></p>
<p>Pas de vol direct depuis la France, seulement Londres ou Boston ! Tout passe par Lisbonne avec la SATA, la compagnie açoréenne qui peut faire raquer 50 € par boardbag. Même topo pour la TAP qui assure la liaison depuis Paris pour Ponta Delgada (PDL), comptez 350-400€ en moyenne. D’autres compagnies comme Air Europa, assure le CDG – LIS. Pour les Aquitains en groupe de 3 à 4, l’option de passer par la route est tentante pour rejoindre « Lisboa » en une nuit de route (12h depuis Bordeaux, 130€ selon Viamichelin) : LIS – PDL en avion pour env. 200 €.</p>
<p>Ribeira Grande est une petite ville sympa avec un petit surfshop, internet… Les routes, bien entretenues et fleuries sont moins sinueuses qu’à Madère mais difficile de dépasser le 60 km/h de moyenne. On roule beaucoup mais la route est un délice, souriez ! Comptez 40€ par jour (Ilha Verde) pour une petite bagnole de loc’. Ponta Delgada : Ribeira Grande (20 min), Mosteiros (45min), Ribeira Quente / Furnas (30 min).</p>
<p>L’hébergement est assez cher (45-75€) pour une double. Residencial Ribeira Grande : + 351 296 473 488 / fax : 351 296 473 878. <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.casasdoporto.com/">www.casasdoporto.com</a> (Mosteiros)</p>
<p><span style="color:#27a8dc;"><strong>LES PLUS :</strong></span></p>
<p>+ Exposition de houles à 360°</p>
<p>+ Un long beachbreak exposé, très bonnes gauches de reef</p>
<p>+ Un peu de monde à l’eau, sans plus</p>
<p>+ En plein Atlantique à 2h de Lisbonne</p>
<p>+ Eau tiède et claire, volcans, sources, jolie verdure</p>
<p><strong><span style="color:#27a8dc;">MOINS :</span></strong></p>
<p>- Houles parfois furtives</p>
<p>- Accès aux spots parfois fastidieux</p>
<p>- Quelques spots dans les rocks</p>
<p>- Climat parfois humide et venteux</p>
<p>- Coûts relativement élevés</p>

Pour les beaux yeux de Margaret...

7 surfeurs du Top 10 mondial participent au mythique WQS de Margaret River...
http://www.surfsession.com/?p=6846
Thu, 11 Mar 2010 23:01:25 +0000
<p>Il faut encore attendre 2 bonnes semaines avant de voir repartir le circuit ASP World Tour avec l'épreuve mythique de Bell's Beach, qui débutera le 30 mars. Pour autant, les surfeurs du circuit ne se tournent pas les pouces sous le soleil Australien et ont trouvé de quoi occuper ce temps en choisissant de participer au Boost Mobile Surfsho de Bondi Beach (Sydney) et au WQS de Margaret River (Australie de l'Ouest).</p>
<p>L'épreuve de Bondi Beach, qui débute aujourd'hui et se terminera dimanche, rassemble déjà un tableau prestigieux, puisque Kelly, Taj, Owen Wright et Jordy Smith ont déjà répondu présent. Suivez donc le Boost Mobile Surfsho en live dès ce soir sur : <strong><a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.boostsurfsho.com.au/home">www.boostsurfsho.com.au/home</a></strong></p>
<p>Mais le gros événement de ce milieu de mois est le WQS 6 étoiles prime de Margaret River. Cette épreuve est le second 6 étoiles prime de l'année après le Brésil, et représente un challenge pour tous les compétiteurs soucieux de glaner des points en début de saison. Cette année, la difficulté est également relevée par la présence de 7 des 10 meilleurs surfeurs mondiaux, parmi lesquels Mick Fanning, Taj Burrow, Kelly Slater, ou chez les femmes Steph Gilmore ou Sofia Mulanovich.</p>
<p>Une sorte de mini événement du World Tour en somme... à suivre sur : <strong><a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.drugawarepro.com/">www.drugawarepro.com</a></strong></p>
<p>Si la présence de surfeurs du Top sur ces compétitions s'explique en partie par les prize money attirants (145 000 $ à Margaret River...), le nouveau classement unique mis en place par l'ASP (<a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.surfsession.com/2009/12/18/asp-2010-un-seul-classement-pour-tous/"><strong>voir news</strong></a>) y est également pour quelque chose.</p>
<p>Pas sûr que les soldats du WQS soient ravis de voir débouler systématiquement les ténors du World tour sur ce genre d'événements...</p>

By 6:30 the water was already started to get crowded and by 7:30 is was packed - on a Sunday AM.<br /><br />I returned home to find these two Facebook messages.

How many surfers?
http://surfeconomics.blogspot.com/2009/02/how-many-surfers.html
<a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_SO9-ZWHfzb4/SZnE5DwT1SI/AAAAAAAAAtc/cDzW84hlfpo/s1600-h/howmanysurfers.jpg"><img style="margin:0px auto 10px;display:block;text-align:center;cursor:pointer;width:400px;height:282px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_SO9-ZWHfzb4/SZnE5DwT1SI/AAAAAAAAAtc/cDzW84hlfpo/s400/howmanysurfers.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5303486520744989986" border="0"/></a><br /><br />I have been asked repeatedly, "How many surfers are there in [name a state or country]".<br /><br />This is a surprisingly difficult question to answer. There is only one study that I know of that counts surfers for the US - a 2000 NOAA recreational survey.<br /><br />Without getting into the debate about what constitutes a surfer, here are some stats for the U.S. from that study:<br /><br />There are about <span style="font-weight:bold;">3.3 million people who surfed in 2000</span>.<br /><br />The top 6 states are illustrated above: California, Hawaii, Florida, North Carolina, New Jersey and Texas.<br /><br />Here's a table of all states that they found surfers:<br /><br /><a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_SO9-ZWHfzb4/SZoBWbCsRnI/AAAAAAAAAt0/WPSMnE4fk20/s1600-h/NSRE_surfingstates_table.jpg"><img style="margin:0px auto 10px;display:block;text-align:center;cursor:pointer;width:318px;height:400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_SO9-ZWHfzb4/SZoBWbCsRnI/AAAAAAAAAt0/WPSMnE4fk20/s400/NSRE_surfingstates_table.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5303552995909977714" border="0"/></a><br /><br />All of this info is based on a report called the "Current Participation Patterns in Marine Recreation". It was published in 2001 - see reference below. The stats are generated based on a phone survey of 50,000 homes in the US. This is the only published report on recreational surfing participation that I am aware of.<br /><br />Surfing has boomed boomed since 2000 so it will be interesting to see what we find upon publication of the next marine recreation report.<br /><br />This tells us how many surfers there are. A more interesting question, one that is critical to understanding the economics of surfing, is, "How many times did they surf?". Stay tuned for that answer.<br /><br />You can read the whole report here:<br /><br />Leeworthy, V. R. and P. C. Wiley (2001).

D’après Shaun Tomson qui commente le making-of du film, cette caméra a un coût d’un million de dollars (beaucoup plus cher <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://blog.surf-prevention.com/2010/01/21/red-one-camera-film-surf-video-band-originale/">qu’une caméra Red One</a>). Il y a en fait deux caméras en une dans ce gros caisson pour donner les images en 3D avec une définition 12 fois supérieure à la HD !</p>
<p>Mike Prickett explique que cette caméra unique au monde est très difficile à manier du fait de son poids et de sa grande flottabilité. Le risque est de se faire aspirer par la vague et de partir avec elle en voulant filmer un surfeur dans le tube. C’est la raison pour laquelle le caméraman a dû se faire lester par une autre personne pour éviter de voir le reef de Teahupoo de trop près… C’est peut-être aussi pour cela qu’on ne voit pas un <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.surf-prevention.com/informations-surf-trip-teahupoo---tahiti-7-8.php">Teahupoo</a> énorme dans le film, car trop dangereux à filmer avec cette caméra encombrante…</p>

Mini World Cup
http://www.huckmagazine.com/features/mini-world-cup/
Ahead of the football festivities this June, one South African township is hosting a World Cup of its own.
http://www.huckmagazine.com/?p=14459
Thu, 11 Mar 2010 14:25:44 +0000
<p>There are around 300 kids convened in a long line by the entrance to Ocean View township. They are gathered around banners and brass bands and wearing their team colours as they prepare to march along the streets and inject some colour to the downbeat concrete housing blocks. There’s kids from all over and with a carfeul listen it’s possible to pick out Afrikaans, Twsana, Xhosa and English being spoken - just four of the 11 indigenous languages to South Africa. Around the kids, there are adults fussing and cameras clicking as the procession prepares to set off through the pot-holed streets and ultimately to the civic centre where the draw for the Mini World Cup will take place.</p>
<p>Today is the launch day of the Mini World Cup, a street football tournament convened by the<a rel="nofollow" title="Democratic Alliance" target="_blank" href="http://www.da.org.za/"> Democratic Alliance</a>, the Western Cape’s provincial government, in an effort to harness the positivity around June’s big kick-off and unite the people of one of Cape Town’s most disaffected townships. Ocean View was created in the 1960s as part of the <a rel="nofollow" title="Group Areas" target="_blank" href="http://africanhistory.about.com/library/bl/blsalaws.htm">Group Areas Act</a> and became home to the ‘coloured’ inhabitants of the ‘white only’ communities of Simon’s Town, Fishoek and Noordhoek, as they were forcefully evicted. Today it houses 30,000 people and is listed as having the second worst drugs problem in the Western Cape.<img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-14461" title="miniwc5" src="http://www.huckmagazine.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/miniwc5.jpg" alt="" width="350" height="234"/></p>
<p>The street football tournament comprises teams from three surrounding townships. The ‘coloured’ townships of Ocean View and Da Gama Park, and Masiphumelele whose 25,000 ‘black’ inhabitants are part of one of South Africa’s largest tribes, the Xhosa.</p>
<p>It’s around midday and the summer wind is pumping, whipping dust from the parched surrounding scrubland through the concrete streets. As the squalls pull through, the kids shelter their eyes as they stand milling idly in their groups, until the drummer initiates a beat and the whole area is suddenly drenched in colour and song. The groups merge as one and the procession lurches off drawing spectators from every nook. The young ones can’t be more than five, and they trail the elders clinging onto fingers and clambering onto shoulders as the procession gathers a pace.</p>
<p>They pass the old concrete housing blocks strung out between spider webs of washing lines, the newer private concrete builds, the concrete schools, the concrete library, the concrete community centre and eventually wind to a halt by the tin shed civic centre. The procession draws to a halt and the line becomes a scrum of bodies gathered around the band as dance circles open up to rapturous applause, and the drum beat quickens.</p>
<p>A programme of events is handed around. The civic centre will be the home for the draw, where the 32 teams will each be designated a group and a country which they will represent. The matches begin in a couple of weeks, and run over a period of six weeks.<br />
<img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-14462" title="miniwc4" src="http://www.huckmagazine.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/miniwc4.jpg" alt="" width="350" height="234"/></p>
<p>The hall is hot and the congregation of coaches, kids and organisers glistens with a thin film of sweat. The heavy mesh wire on the windows prevents any breeze penetrating inside. As per the programme, the meeting kicks off in prayer, but the fervour of the pastor is lost amid the feedback from the monophone amp that sits next to the oversized Yamaha keyboard that pumps out the pre-programmed drum beats and the odd saxophone solo. Though his musings are mostly unintelligible, the hallelujahs are easily distinguishable from the fuzz and greeted with increasing rapture. Next up, in a move away from the scheduled address from the local councillor who is away ‘because of circumstances’, the keyboard is reprogrammed and there begins a very formal rendition of the South African national anthem. Halfway through, the speakers give out only to be quickly replaced by a drumbeat, all formalities are ditched and soon the anthem gets a motown-cum-gospel makeover. As the congregation gathers it’s collective breath, a young girl graces the stage and begins her best Brandy impersonation. Her warbling is heartfelt and the crowd drawn in till a child bursts in from outside and the belch of his vuvuzela horn rather spoils the moment as the room falls over itself in laughter.</p>
<p>The show moves on. The programme seems to have gone awry. The police address was meant to be now, but there’s a rapper on stage. A botched job’s been done on the speaker and the rapper does his best to fuse his gutteral Afrikaans with the 1980s Yamaha beat. It’s all gone a bit wrong and there's a distinct flavour of <em>South Africa’s Got Talent</em> on a bad trip, until the compere restores some semblance of order and calls the coaches on stage for the draw.<br />
<img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-14463" title="miniwc7" src="http://www.huckmagazine.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/miniwc7.jpg" alt="" width="350" height="234"/></p>
<p>From two empty five-litre ice cream tubs the balls are drawn. The compere works his was through the line-up until none remain. The coaches leave the stage save for two whose teams have still not been drawn. There’s a quick scramble and much muffled conversation over the mic, and soon it’s all rectified. The crowd look on patiently, or impassively, despite the heat.</p>
<p>It ends with another heartfelt address. The lady’s name is lost in feedback and her words are consumed by the blown speaker. Instead, the congregation follow through her passionate gestures. However, as she draws to a close, the words ‘there was hope, there is hope and there shall be hope’ are clear and unmistakeable. Rapturous applause flows.</p>
<p>The hall empties into the baking courtyard where there’s a friendly netball match under way. The local police chief is offering advice to the coaches about how to tackle the drugs issue.</p>
<p>“We need to take a stand otherwise we’re going to sit with a broken community…. It’s all about the children and we salute you for taking a stand. Sport is one of the most powerful tools for bringing people together,” he says.</p>
<p>As a first taste for the pride and the passion of the South African townships, it looks like this June is going to be a lot of fun.</p>

<span id="more-14473"></span>For the <a rel="nofollow" title="Bethelhem" target="_blank" href="http://bethlehemskateplaza.com/">Bethlehem Skateplaza</a> in <strong>Bethlehem</strong>,<strong> Pennsylvania</strong>, it would mean the opening of the full version of the skate plaza this summer (see Phase 1 below).</p>
<p>This would also put a large amount of funds in the bank for Phase 2 (see below). Phase 1 would be approximately three quarters of the 43,000 sq ft project which would provide the local skateboarders, both young and old, a safe, legal and quality place to skate.</p>
<p>The Pepsi Refresh grant is Bethlehem's biggest and best way to provide the best possible facility for local skateboarders.</p>

This editorial series will focus on surf shops and their vast knowledge of both products and surf culture as well as their understanding of what a surfer needs in terms of equipment and knowledge, all the while providing a strong community in the local marketplace. Local surf shops allow surfers a place to congregate around core industry products and provide a community and culture that has escaped the main stream surf industry. Surfline is focused on bringing this culture and community to light and show the importance to surfers and the industry in all local markets.<br /><br />Surfline's VP of Editorial Dave Gilovich says, "We believe surf shops are good for surfing. Surf shops provide a place where wave riders can find the core products they need to pursue their life's passion - boards, leashes, wax, wetsuits, boardshorts. Equally important, most shops have personnel on the floor who can offer information about these products, with a degree of knowledge and understanding that can be found nowhere else. But the best surf shops are more than just retail stores. The special ones, the ones that have served their communities for years and, in some cases, decades, offer a place for surfers to gather, connect and communicate, to share the stoke of surfing and to celebrate its lifestyle and culture. These businesses have become shrines to our sport, and, as such, are important to surfers everywhere."<br /><br />Visit the first part of this series today on Surfline where you can <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.surfline.com/surf-news/rich-harbour-has-been-building-boards-and-customer-loyalty-since-before-the-beach-boys-surf-shops-harbour-surf_21669/">read about Harbour Surfboards in Seal Beach</a> which has been around Since 1962.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7422193777029349802-401016302463872279?l=surfeconomics.blogspot.com' alt=''/></div>

Le surfeur Portugais a fait don de son prize-money de Snapper Rocks aux habitants de Madère. Respect.

<p>Le 20 février dernier, l'île Portugaise de Madère, située au large du Maroc (voir carte) a été frappé par des pluies diluviennes qui ont provoqué des inondations et des glissements de terrain. Le bilan est lourd : plusieurs dizaines de morts ainsi que plusieurs disparus.</p>
<p>Tiago Pires, le meilleur surfeur Portugais, actuellement 24ème au classement général ASP World Tour, a tout simplement reversé son prize-money acquis à Snapper Rocks (6500 $) aux habitants de l'île de Madère.</p>
<p>Tiago explique son geste : <em>Il y a eu cette catastrophe naturelle il y a quelques semaines et la situation là-bas est encore très mauvaise. Madère est une île Portugaise où je me rends souvent, et j'ai l'impression qu'elle fait partie de moi. Je sens que c'est mon devoir de l'aider. Ca se passe tellement loin de moi en ce moment </em>(Tiago est toujours en Australie, ndlr)<em> et je ne pouvais pas m'y rendre, donc voilà ma façon d'aider. Je donne mon prize-money".</em></p>
<p>Un geste qui traduit la générosité du surfeur Portugais et qui se doit d'être souligné, surtout en cette triste période où l'individualisme est roi...Respect Tiago.</p>
<h5>Si vous vous sentez concernés par cette tragédie, vous pouvez vous aussi venir en aide aux victimes de Madère : <span style="color:#27a8bc;"><a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.banif.pt/xsite/BanifEn/About/AboutBanif.jsp?CH=5289&PCH=4332">www.banif.pt</a></span></h5>

<p><span id="more-4555"></span>I spent most of my youth lugging surfboards and camera gear around the world on an overly extended surfing, work and photography trip. Like many surfers, much of my photographic output is directed more at the things that I see along the way, a result of either travelling for waves or embedding myself in surf locales. I shoot on film using a range of old SLRs and a few vintage medium-format cameras and a holga. I have a far from fancy and often inadequate kitbag but it gets me through – my money tends to go on flights and surfboards before replacing camera gear.</p>
<p>Because of this I am most inspired and relate to work by photographers such as <a rel="nofollow" title="Jeff Johnson" target="_blank" href="http://www.jeffjohnsonstories.com">Jeff Johnson</a>, <a rel="nofollow" title="Joe Curren" target="_blank" href="http://www.joecurrenphotography.com">Joe Curren</a> and <a rel="nofollow" title="Dustin Humphrey" target="_blank" href="http://www.reelsessions.com/dustinhumphrey_surf.html#myGallery-picture%283%29">Dustin Humphrey</a>, as well as those from outside the world of surfing, most notably <a rel="nofollow" title="Chris Searl" target="_blank" href="http://www.chrissearl.com">Chris Searl</a>, <a rel="nofollow" title="Mike O'Meally" target="_blank" href="http://www.mikeomeally.com">Mike O’Meally</a> and <a rel="nofollow" title="Andrew Paynter" target="_blank" href="http://www.andrewpaynter.com">Andrew Paynter</a>.</p>
<p>Cut to today, and I’m currently studying my way through my first Cornish winter in six years, half-way through teacher training to become a secondary-school DT teacher (making picture frames and shaping surfboards) but this period of relative ‘settlement’ has allowed me to spend some time researching and developing some other surf and photography-based projects to undertake over the next year and a half, both at home and abroad.</p>
<p>I’ve got a scruffy folder full of ideas, newspaper clippings and mud maps drawn on scraps of paper, which perennially distracts me from my school work, and hopefully at least some of these ideas will see their way to fruition. Watch this space!</p> <div class="ngg-imagebrowser" id="ngg-imagebrowser-40-4555"> <h3></h3> <div class="pic">

The study was conducted by Dr. Makena Coffman and Dr. Kimberly Burnett from the University of Hawaii. They based their findings on an on-site survey of visitors over a 6 month period in 2009. They used the <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.ecosystemvaluation.org/travel_costs.htm">Travel Cost Method</a> to determine the non-market value (consumer surplus) of those visitors and their estimated an annual value ($24 million/year) using their best guess on annual attendance to the area.<br /><br />Here are some of the key findings:<br /><br /><ul><li>The average visitor received $56.7 in consumer surplus per visit</li></ul><ul><li>7% of those interviewed were there to surf Mavericks</li></ul><ul><li>~12% were visiting to watch surfing<br /></li></ul><ul><li>Surfers were nearly 5 times more <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://surfeconomics.blogspot.com/search/label/avidity">avid</a> than other visitors</li></ul><ul><li>They estimated 421,431 visits to the Mavericks area per year<br /></li></ul><ul><li>The total economic benefit from the Mavericks region is $23.8 million/year</li></ul><ul><li>This study did not include the annual contest in their analysis<br /></li></ul><br />It is important to note that the study included all visitors to the Mavericks areas, not only surfers or those watching surfers, so this value includes the value of the whole Mavericks area.<br /><br />The final study has not been published yet. Once it does, I'll post it.<br /><br /><br /><a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_SO9-ZWHfzb4/Sv3UwZRIZMI/AAAAAAAABIM/Tt6IvqI20NE/s1600-h/beach_view.jpg"><img style="margin:0px auto 10px;display:block;text-align:center;cursor:pointer;width:400px;height:300px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_SO9-ZWHfzb4/Sv3UwZRIZMI/AAAAAAAABIM/Tt6IvqI20NE/s400/beach_view.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5403709055796012226" border="0"/></a><br />You can read a Half Moon Bay Review article about the study <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.hmbreview.com/articles/2009/11/11/news/doc4afb5c4d7dd63542180128.txt">here</a>.<br /><br />The article got a few things confused and Deal LaTourrette, the Excutive Director responded:<br /><br /><blockquote>Dear Editor,</blockquote><blockquote>We appreciate the coverage of the recently released results from our Mavericks economic study in Greg Thomas’ November 11th article, “The $24 Million Wave,” but feel compelled to clarify some key points with your readers:<br /><br />1) While the study was designed to measure the economic value of the surf break and surrounding area, it also attempts to measure non-economic valuation factors such as the cultural, social and environmental value of the wave. The study is not all about dollars and cents, and a key finding was completely omitted from Thomas’ article: "Almost 90% of the respondents labeled surfing an ecotourism activity, and thus important to the cultural and environmental health of the community. Respondents believed that Mavericks helped to positively define the Half Moon Bay area." This underscores the importance of these studies to be used as a tool to help policy-makers make conservation decisions that allow ecotourism to thrive, while at the same time preserving unique environmental, social, and cultural phenomena.<br /><br />2) This research project was funded by a grant from the Morgan Family Foundation. Mavericks Surf Ventures helped by supplying information on the area and connecting researchers with key local organizations, such as the Half Moon Bay Chamber of Commerce. MSV and Jim Beam DID NOT fund or financially support the study.<br /><br />3) The Center for Responsible Travel at Stanford University and the University of Hawaii Economic Research Organization, co-authors of the study, are independent researchers who were commissioned by Save The Waves to execute an academic study. They have no affiliation with Save The Waves, nor did commercial interests influence the study in any way.<br /><br />Thanks for helping us clear up these important points.</blockquote><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7422193777029349802-2677927403799640824?l=surfeconomics.blogspot.com' alt=''/></div>

The Cost of Poor Water Quality at Surfrider Malibu
http://surfeconomics.blogspot.com/2009/11/cost-of-poor-water-quality-at-surfrider.html
<a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_SO9-ZWHfzb4/SvcweBzXr_I/AAAAAAAABHs/M_kNjlTKOpc/s1600-h/malibu-F.jpg"><img style="margin:0px auto 10px;display:block;text-align:center;cursor:pointer;width:400px;height:278px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_SO9-ZWHfzb4/SvcweBzXr_I/AAAAAAAABHs/M_kNjlTKOpc/s400/malibu-F.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5401839570492305394" border="0"/></a><br />Surfrider Beach at Malibu needs no introduction. Unfortunately, neither do the water quality problems. Malibu has been a chronically polluted beach for decades, consistently getting an "F" on <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.healthebay.org/brcv2/">Health the Bay's beach water quality report card</a>. One of the primary culprits is over-capacity and improperly sited septic systems. For years, the City of Malibu has resisted constructing sewage systems as an anti-growth measure while polluting nearby beaches.<br /><br /><a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_SO9-ZWHfzb4/Svc2VG_UoGI/AAAAAAAABH0/Z97EG3mtrH8/s1600-h/CLEANTHEBU_WEB_TOP.jpg"><img style="margin:0px auto 10px;display:block;text-align:center;cursor:pointer;width:400px;height:299px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_SO9-ZWHfzb4/Svc2VG_UoGI/AAAAAAAABH0/Z97EG3mtrH8/s400/CLEANTHEBU_WEB_TOP.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5401846014335557730" border="0"/></a><br /><br />Thanks to a strong coalition that included the <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.msasurfing.org/">Malibu Surfing Association</a>, <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.healthebay.org/">Heal the Bay</a>, <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.smbaykeeper.org/">Santa Monica Baykeeper</a> and the <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://surfriderwlam.org/">West LA / Malibu Chapter of the Surfrider Foundation</a> this all changed last Thursday when the LA Regional Water Quality Control Board voted to eliminate septics from Malibu and force the City to install waste water treatment systems. Read more about the outcome <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://surfriderwlam.org/2009/11/07/win-for-malibu-on-nov-5th-long-fought-and-sweet-forever/">here</a> and <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://spoutingoff.wordpress.com/2009/11/06/victory-at-sea/">here</a> and in the LA Times <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.latimes.com/news/local/la-me-malibu-septic6-2009nov06,0,6007608.story">here</a>.<br /><br /><span style="color:rgb(255, 0, 0);font-weight:bold;"><span style="font-size:180%;">$</span>: Poor water quality is a public health burden that has costs.</span><br /><br />Water quality contamination can cause skin rash, eye and ear infections, significant respiratory disease and Gastrointestinal (GI) illness. These illnesses have a variety of economic costs -- ranging from medical expenses to lost time at work to non-market impacts.<br /><br />At Malibu, Given and Pendleton (2006) estimated that were were 25,000 to 100,000 <span style="font-weight:bold;">excess</span> GI illness (meaning above allowable level of illness at clean beaches) in Malibu due to poor water quality.<br /><br />This results in <span style="font-weight:bold;">$1.1 to $4.2 million in public costs annually</span> due to illness associated with contaminated water in Malibu. <br /><br /><span style="color:rgb(0, 153, 0);font-weight:bold;"><span style="font-size:180%;">$</span>: Clean water has benefits. </span><br /><br />Clean water attracts more visitors who spend money (economic impacts) and clean water increase their enjoyment (consumer surplus).<br /><br />Hanemann & Pendleton (2004) looked at economic benefits of improving beach water quality at Malibu Surfrider Beach by one letter grade. From a C to a B.<br /><br />They showed that improving water quality at Malibu Surfrider would have two impacts on beach goers. First, the number of trips taken to Surfrider beach would <span style="font-weight:bold;">increase by 1,538 visits per year</span>.<br /><br />The second major impact of an improvement in water quality is the annual consumer’s surplus of beach users improves by more than <span style="font-weight:bold;">$140,000/ year</span>.<br /><br />In addition, the total economic impact (local spending) would increase by <span style="font-weight:bold;">$45,000/year</span>.<br /><br />These are the benefits for one grade. The benefits would be much higher for a 3 or 4 grade level improvement (F to B/A)*. <span style="font-size:78%;"><br /><br />*The model is nonlinear so you cannot use these figures to extrapolate directly. </span><br /><br /> These studies show that improving the water quality in Malibu will reduce the high public welfare burden associated with poor water quality and result in increased visits, increased societal benefits (consumer surplus benefits) and increase economics impacts (spending associated with beach visits). <br /><br />You can read more detail and see the references in my testimony <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.surfrider.org/files/Nelsen_Malibu_Econ_Testimony.pdf">here</a>.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7422193777029349802-2206198951209520667?l=surfeconomics.blogspot.com' alt=''/></div>

The Surf Economics of Brevard County, Florida
http://surfeconomics.blogspot.com/2009/03/surfonomics-of-brevard-county-florida.html
<a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_SO9-ZWHfzb4/SbPyMGtMXJI/AAAAAAAAAvU/scXxEUOKMYE/s1600-h/_j1d5365.jpg"><img style="margin:0px auto 10px;display:block;text-align:center;cursor:pointer;width:400px;height:267px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_SO9-ZWHfzb4/SbPyMGtMXJI/AAAAAAAAAvU/scXxEUOKMYE/s400/_j1d5365.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5310854675372465298" border="0"/></a>Brevard County, Florida is arguably the epicenter of surfing in Florida. This region boats numerous surf spots from CoCoa Beach to Sebastian Inlet and spawned the Hobgoods and Slater.<br /><br />Last week, Mike Slotkin of <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://411.fit.edu/sustainability/">Florida Institute of Technology presented</a> some stats on surfers who visit Brevard County from an internet-based survey of 240 surfers who lived outside Brevard County but visit to surf.<br /><br /><a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_SO9-ZWHfzb4/SbPyp2BXnyI/AAAAAAAAAvc/_API_NcjRxs/s1600-h/brevard_origin.png"><img style="margin:0pt 0pt 10px 10px;float:right;cursor:pointer;width:400px;height:286px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_SO9-ZWHfzb4/SbPyp2BXnyI/AAAAAAAAAvc/_API_NcjRxs/s400/brevard_origin.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5310855186289762082" border="0"/></a><br /><br />As you can see, surfers from throughout the state come to Brevard County to surf.<br /><br /><a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_SO9-ZWHfzb4/SbPzdtycB1I/AAAAAAAAAvs/H9ZwGLayppc/s1600-h/brevard_age.png"><img style="margin:0pt 10px 10px 0pt;float:right;cursor:pointer;width:400px;height:292px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_SO9-ZWHfzb4/SbPzdtycB1I/AAAAAAAAAvs/H9ZwGLayppc/s400/brevard_age.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5310856077432850258" border="0"/></a><br /><br /><a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_SO9-ZWHfzb4/SbPzytND7UI/AAAAAAAAAv0/vsrJoThByRU/s1600-h/brevard_income.png"><img style="margin:0pt 0pt 10px 10px;float:right;cursor:pointer;width:400px;height:292px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_SO9-ZWHfzb4/SbPzytND7UI/AAAAAAAAAv0/vsrJoThByRU/s400/brevard_income.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5310856438053334338" border="0"/></a><br /><br /><a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_SO9-ZWHfzb4/SbPy_zPx_jI/AAAAAAAAAvk/wptV03iikZ4/s1600-h/brevard_expenditure.png"><img style="margin:0pt 10px 10px 0pt;float:right;cursor:pointer;width:400px;height:279px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_SO9-ZWHfzb4/SbPy_zPx_jI/AAAAAAAAAvk/wptV03iikZ4/s400/brevard_expenditure.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5310855563502026290" border="0"/></a><br /><br /><br /><a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_SO9-ZWHfzb4/SbPz0LW5t-I/AAAAAAAAAv8/yqQeoe5gzog/s1600-h/Brevard_econimpact.png"><img style="margin:0pt 0pt 10px 10px;float:right;cursor:pointer;width:400px;height:291px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_SO9-ZWHfzb4/SbPz0LW5t-I/AAAAAAAAAv8/yqQeoe5gzog/s400/Brevard_econimpact.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5310856463327541218" border="0"/></a><br /><br /><br />These surfers represent a full range of ages - over 40% of them are over 36 years old.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />They are also well educated and earn high wages. For comparison, the median household income in Florida is a little over $46,000 and about 25% of Floridians have a college degree. These surfers are wealthy and well educated.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />When they visit the county to surf they spend money in local businesses.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />When you begin to add up those expenditures over a year they start to add up. As is common, the hardest number to find is the annual number of surfer visits. Here they estimated 9500 a year.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />This profile of Florida surfers who visit Brevard County is similar to the demongraphics of surfers who visit Trestles. Mike shows this comparison in his presentation. You can see all the slides <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.surfrider.org/surfecon/slotkin_vamos_flsurfdemo.pdf">here</a> (5 MB .pdf)<br /><br />Thanks to Dr. Mike Slotkin and Dr. Alex Vamosi for sharing their presentation and kudos to Brian Kelly for conducting the survey.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7422193777029349802-8511919673700789524?l=surfeconomics.blogspot.com' alt=''/></div>

[WEB] Video : Innersection.tv, c'est parti !
http://www.surf4all.net/article1348.html
<p>Ca y est, Innersection, le projet tant attendu de Taylor Steele <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.surfsession.com/2010/02/05/innersection-tv-le-nouveau-projet-de-taylor-steele/">que nous vous présentions le mois dernier</a> est enfin lancé. Certains surfeurs ont déjà soumis leurs clips durant la première semaine et sont en ligne depuis aujourd'hui, attendant maintenant les votes des internautes.</p>
<p> Parmi les premiers à avoir déposé leurs vidéos, on retrouve déjà Jamie O'Brien, Owen Wright, Shaun Cansdell, Mike Losness, Nat Young et bien d'autres... Les clips sont déjà impressionnants et témoignent de l'investissement des meilleurs surfeurs du moment dans le projet.</p>
<p> Il faut dire que le chèque de 100 000 $ (oui oui, vous avez bien lu) promis au vainqueur du concours en décembre prochain a de quoi motiver tout ce petit monde. Certains, comme Mike Losness, en ont carrément fait leur priorité cette année, tandis que d'autres comme Owen Wright tenteront de concilier le Tour et les projets vidéo.</p>
<p> Petit bémol d'ailleurs en ce qui concerne le clip d'Owen Wright : certaines des images ont déjà été vues dans des vidéos diffusées récemment sur le site de Rip Curl, alors que le règlement d'Innersection stipule que les rushes doivent être exclusifs. A suivre...</p>
<p> Les prochaines vidéos tomberont début mai, ce qui laisse deux mois pour visionner les premiers clips et voter pour le meilleur d'entre eux.</p>

Un "continent de déchets plastiques" en plein océan
http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/surfsession/~3/86vssvlDRek/
Une gigantesque catastrophe écologique au coeur de l'Océan Pacifique...
http://www.surfsession.com/?p=6690
Wed, 10 Mar 2010 10:10:20 +0000
<p>On en entendait parler depuis plusieurs mois, les scientifiques nous en ont apporté la preuve récemment : un nouveau continent fait de plastiques est en train de naître dans le Pacifique Nord, entre Hawaii et la Californie.</p>
<p>Son origine ? L'accumulation, sous l'effet de courants marins combinés, de millions de déchets plastiques flottant à la surface de l'océan (bouteilles, bouchons, cartouches, morceaux de cagettes, de filets et de minuscules débris de plastique...)</p>
<p>Ce sont les scientifiques de la SEA (Sea Education Association) qui ont révélé l'information fin février. Ce "septième continent" serait déjà plus grand que la France, et atteindrait en moyenne 10 mètres de profondeur (près de 30 mètres à certains endroits).</p>
<p>Pour autant, l'expression "continent" désigne en réalité un gigantesque amas de déchets plastiques " <em>Il ne faut pas s'imaginer une île de plastique où l'on déambule tranquillement ! C'est plutôt une énorme "soupe de plastique" formée par de petites particules qui s'étendrait sur une superficie grande comme la France !</em>" explique François Chartier, responsable "Océans" à <strong><a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.greenpeace.org/france/">Greenpeace France</a></strong>.</p>
<p>Ce nouveau continent artificiel n'est pas sans rappeler la "Great Eastern Pacific Garbage Patch" (la poubelle de l'est du Pacifique) découvert en 1997 dans le Pacifique Nord.</p>
<p>Ces amas de plastique sont une catastrophe écologique, car ils sont ingurgités en quantité par la faune marine, ainsi que par les oiseaux, sans compter les pièges que représentent les morceaux de filets et de plastique (voir photo).</p>
<p>Cette nouvelle découverte met en avant une véritable catastrophe environnementale, le plastique mettant près de 500 ans pour se dégrader dans l'environnement. La taille de ce nouveau continent est en constante progression et pourrait, d'après les experts, atteindre la taille de l'Europe d'ici 20 ans.</p>
<p>Alors, lors de votre prochaine session ou ballade sur la plage, donnez-vous la peine de ramasser quelques débris. Ce n'est peut-être qu'une goutte dans l'océan, mais icelui-ci a plus que jamais besoin...</p>
<p>Retrouvez <strong><a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.surfsession.com/2010/03/10/plastic-kills/">la dernière campagne vidéo de Surfrider Foundation</a></strong>, tristement d'actualité...</p>

Emily Haager : portrait d’une surfeuse atteinte par la mucoviscidose
http://blog.surf-prevention.com/2010/03/10/emily-haager-kelly-slater-laird-hamilton/
Emily Haager est une jeune et sympathique surfeuse de 26 ans. Sa particularité est qu’elle surfe pour se soigner. Atteinte de mucoviscidose depuis la naissance, elle doit suivre un lourd traitement au quotidien pour prévenir les graves complications pulmonaires ou digestives qui menacent son pronostic vital.

<p>Emily Haager est une jeune et sympathique surfeuse de 26 ans. Sa particularité est qu’elle surfe pour se soigner. Atteinte de <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://blog.surf-prevention.com/2008/08/16/le-surf-contre-la-mucoviscidose/">mucoviscidose</a> depuis la naissance, elle doit suivre un lourd traitement au quotidien pour prévenir les graves complications pulmonaires ou digestives qui menacent son pronostic vital. La mucoviscidose est la maladie héréditaire dont souffrait le chanteur révélé par la Star Academy <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gr%C3%A9gory_Lemarchal">Gregory Lemarchal</a> emporté à l’âge de 23 ans. Si les traitements actuels ont permis une amélioration sensible de l’espérance de vie, nombre de jeunes patients nous quittent encore trop tôt, avant d’avoir atteint la trentaine.</p>
<p>Parmi les innovations thérapeutiques, citons <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.surf-prevention.com/fiche-mucoviscidose-et-surf-49-10.php">les inhalations de sérum salé hypertonique</a> dont les effets bénéfiques peuvent être reproduits par…une session de surf ! Pour Emily Haager, le surf est devenu son traitement préféré et elle va dans les vagues avec sa planche de surf pour améliorer le drainage naturel de ses sécrétions bronchiques.</p>
<p><iframe class="embeddedvideo" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="640" height="385" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/iJ2myqYjue8&hl=fr_FR&fs=1&rel=0&color1=0x2b405b&color2=0x6b8ab6"></iframe></p>
<p>Emily Haager est l’ambassadrice de l’association <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.pipelinetoacure.com">Pipeline To A Cure</a> soutenue par des surfeurs de renom comme Laird Hamilton, Kelly Slater ou <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://blog.surf-prevention.com/2009/12/06/jamie-obrien-surfe-contre-la-mucoviscidose/">Jamie O’Brien</a>.</p>
<p><a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://blog.surf-prevention.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/Emily-Haager-et-Laird-Hamilton.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-5267" title="Emily Haager et Laird Hamilton" src="http://blog.surf-prevention.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/Emily-Haager-et-Laird-Hamilton.jpg" alt="Emily Haager et Laird Hamilton" width="430" height="594"/></a></p>
<p>Je vous propose de découvrir le portrait d’Emily Haager en vidéo dans ce magnifique reportage du NY Times où on la voit surfer et témoigner aux côtés de ses parents qui donnent tout pour qu’Emily puisse avoir la meilleure qualité de vie possible. </p>
<p><iframe class="embeddedvideo" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="640" height="385" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/lp_fF40Xays&hl=fr_FR&fs=1&rel=0&color1=0x2b405b&color2=0x6b8ab6"></iframe></p>
<p>Malheureusement, à l’heure où je vous parle, Emily est hospitalisée dans un service de réanimation suite à une grave complication pulmonaire. Toutes nos pensées vont vers cette jeune femme très courageuse qui souhaite mettre en avant son histoire personnelle pour faire avancer la recherche dans l’espoir de trouver un nouveau traitement pour guérir la mucoviscidose.</p>

Guerreiros de Teahupoo 2009 – Teahupo’o Excursion
http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/TahitiSurfTravelPodcast/~3/4lGydXrTGVw/
O que vale a pena ver esta onda é sua força, sua densidade, seu recife afiado, acolhador para os surfistas(...) Aqui nao pode cometer erros.
E uma da onda a mais forte do mundo
Ao largo, tem uma falha que cava a onda
Deve ver isso com seus proprios olhos Depois o lado salvagem do mar com essa onda,
podemos ver o lado salvagem do litoral
la nao tem estradas, O lugar só é acessível de barco.
Os vales são magnificos. é um mistura entre os Marquises, dos Australes,
acendemos um rio,
tem uma gruta sagrada com legendas
o lugar é fantastico Com certeza, posso ti levar no spot de Vairao, a passe (=espaço vazio na barrera de recife que permite ondas surfaveis) a mais grande da polinesia. Da uma onda que quebra para 300m. A onda é perfeita, quebra para 300m, e tem 3 porçoes de tubos, é magnifica. As outras passes sao assiveis, mas depende do numero de pessoas. Caramba! Depende da cara do cliente!<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/TahitiSurfTravelPodcast/~4/4lGydXrTGVw" height="1" width="1"/>

All across the country, surfers are facing access and environmental fights that fail to consider their needs and enormous impact. While fishermen and other recreational ocean users flex big muscle in courthouses and town halls, surfers get pushed aside a 'segment group.' A minor hobby for punk kids - instead of healthy lifestyle for whole families. That's because we let them.<br /><br />Despite being a 1000-year-old sport with a $7 billion industry, surfing has failed to produce the demographic and economic studies to show who we are, where we live, and what we spend. So while other interest groups bolster their arguments with impressive numbers to prove their positions, all-too often, surfers get blindsided and bowled over, unable to offer a single hard number to support their cases or save their breaks.<br /><br />Not anymore. With your help, we can start to paint a true picture of who surfers are and how we behave. And every surfer who answers provides another stroke of necessary detail. All you need to do is take 15 minutes to fill out the survey. Here's some quick rules:<br />Answer honestly. An accurate study is our best weapon.<br />When in doubt, leave an answer blank. We'd rather have less info than bad info.<br />Pass it along to your friends.<br />All information is anonymous. We promise not to share the individual details for commercial purposes, but we will share the bulk data - national, state by state, and as a whole. Right here. That way, surfers, in any fight, in any coastal town - from the most precious, world-class pointbreak to the shittiest, shiftiest sandbar - can proudly walk into any town hall or business office and prove with concrete numbers that surfing is a pursuit as crucial to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness in their beach town as any other ocean activity. That enjoying the ocean is much a god-given American right as protecting your beach home investment.<br /><br />Maybe if we're just as selfish, aggressive and determined as we are in the water, we'll never lose another wave. And if we do, it's because we looked hard, considered it carefully and let it go for a greater good - not because someone snaked it from us.<br /><br /><a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.surfrider.org/surf_survey_2008/survey2008a.cfm">NOW: TAKE THE SURVEY!</a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7422193777029349802-2039825061747884656?l=surfeconomics.blogspot.com' alt=''/></div>

Study: Surfers ingest 10 times more water than swimmers, divers

It also suggests that because water quality at Oregon beaches is significantly better than more popular surfing destinations, such as California, Hawaii, or Florida, the risk of GI illness is lower for people surfing the frigid waters of the Oregon coast.<br /><br />“While the risk for Oregon surfers is not high for GI illness, our findings suggest that surfers who spend longer periods of time in recreational waters, or who surf in more contaminated locations, are likely to be at higher risk of contracting GI illnesses,” said David Stone, an assistant professor in the OSU Department of Environmental and Molecular Toxicology.<br /><br />The study, funded by Oregon Sea Grant, used a Web-based survey to collect voluntary responses from 520 of the estimated 12,000 surfers in Oregon. Participants estimated the amount of water they ingest during a typical recreational day, and the researchers used historic water quality data collected at six popular surfing beaches to calculate the risk of infection from fecal bacteria using enterococci as an indicator organism.<br /><br /><a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.kval.com/sports/local/36662629.html">Read more...</a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7422193777029349802-8675680784588228745?l=surfeconomics.blogspot.com' alt=''/></div>

<p>A l’occasion de la semaine nationale de lutte contre le cancer qui se déroule du 8 au 14 Mars 2010, la Ligue contre le Cancer vous propose de faire équipe avec elle pour relever le défi de la sensibilisation à cette maladie. 70 % de la population française serait concernée par le cancer, directement ou par le biais d’un proche. La Ligue contre le Cancer cherche par cette opération à rassembler le maximum de personnes autour d’un objectif commun. « L’équipe de France contre le cancer » regroupera toutes les personnes qui s’engagent à faire un don à la Ligue, à devenir bénévole ou à relever un défi. Vous pouvez vous engager à arrêter de fumer, à faire 30 minutes d’activité physique par jour ou encore à manger vos 5 fruits et légumes par jour. Vous avez également la possibilité de créer votre propre défi sur le site dédié : <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.ligue-cancer.net/efcc">www.ligue-cancer.net/efcc</a></p>

If Long Beach had surf, would more people visit?
http://surfeconomics.blogspot.com/2009/07/if-long-beach-had-surf-would-more.html
<div style="text-align:center;"><a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_SO9-ZWHfzb4/SktwUtdVi1I/AAAAAAAABAY/ac8g1gCFk3E/s1600-h/LB_Breakwater_PB_PT3+copy.jpg"><img style="margin:0px auto 10px;display:block;text-align:center;cursor:pointer;width:400px;height:246px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_SO9-ZWHfzb4/SktwUtdVi1I/AAAAAAAABAY/ac8g1gCFk3E/s400/LB_Breakwater_PB_PT3+copy.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5353496083162303314" border="0"/></a><span style="font-size:78%;">Image from <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.surfline.com/">Surfline</a>.<br /></span></div><br />The obvious answer to this question is <span style="font-weight:bold;">yes</span>. The more challenging question is how many people would come to surf. Predicting how many people would come to visit Long Beach to surf would likely depend on the quality of the surf and how often the surf was good.<br /><br />The <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.lbsurfrider.org/">Long Beach Chapter</a> of the Surfrider Foundation has a long running campaign to "<a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://lbsurfrider.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=blogsection&id=9&Itemid=73">Sink the Breakwater and Restore the Shore</a>"<br /><br /><a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_SO9-ZWHfzb4/Sktyy9NhPjI/AAAAAAAABAo/JTVAriMGric/s1600-h/BreakwaterMap.gif"><img style="margin:0px auto 10px;display:block;text-align:center;cursor:pointer;width:400px;height:229px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_SO9-ZWHfzb4/Sktyy9NhPjI/AAAAAAAABAo/JTVAriMGric/s400/BreakwaterMap.gif" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5353498801810259506" border="0"/></a><br /><br />As part of their campaign they convinced the City of Long Beach to do a feasibility study of the breakwater removal. Part of that study was an economic analysis of the benefits to tourism resulting from improved water quality, beach conditions & surfing.<br /><br />To better understand how the surfing would improve and how many surfers might visit, the Chapter contracted with Sean Collins at <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.surfline.com/">Surfline</a> (a leading surf forecasting site) to use their models, historical surf records and expertise to predict how many days of surf Long Beach would see, how many good days and how many poor days and then estimated how many surfers would show up to surf it.<br /><br />You can read this very interesting report <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.surfline.com/surfline/forecasts4/forecast_blog_entry.cfm?id=27901">here</a>.<br /><br />So what's the conclusion? Based on this approach, Collins estimates that restoring surf to Long Beach could result in over <span style="font-weight:bold;">394,000 annual visits.</span><br /><br />This visitation estimate is being fed into an economic analysis that should be available in mid-July. We'll report on that when its available.<br /><br /><br /><a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_SO9-ZWHfzb4/Sktxlt2pgxI/AAAAAAAABAg/8uzAUxXD0ZI/s1600-h/729342481_b620acd6c2.jpg"><img style="margin:0px auto 10px;display:block;text-align:center;cursor:pointer;width:400px;height:310px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_SO9-ZWHfzb4/Sktxlt2pgxI/AAAAAAAABAg/8uzAUxXD0ZI/s400/729342481_b620acd6c2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5353497474837873426" border="0"/></a><br /><div style="text-align:center;">Duke Kahanamoku surfing in Long Beach before the breakwater was installed.<br /></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7422193777029349802-7801201745829894387?l=surfeconomics.blogspot.com' alt=''/></div>

Découverte d’un nouveau continent plastique dans l’Atlantique
http://blog.surf-prevention.com/2010/03/08/continent-plastique-ocean-atlantique-poubelle-dechets/

<p>Tout le plastique rejeté dans les Océans ne se volatilise malheureusement pas… Les étudiants de la <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.sea.edu">Sea Education Association</a> ont montré qu’il existait un véritable continent de déchets plastiques au large des côtes américaines. Mais ne vous attendez pas à poser le pied sur une île de plastique. Il s’agit en fait d’une quantité astronomique de petits débris en plastique qui se retrouvent coincés dans cette zone sous l’effet des <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.surf-prevention.com/fiche-courants-et-baines-16-1.php">courants</a> marins. La densité de ces déchets en plastique est impressionnante puisqu’elle atteint 200 000 morceaux de déchets au kilomètre carré.</p>
<p>Les animaux marins ou les oiseaux qui circulent dans cette zone peuvent se blesser ou avaler ces plastiques. Une poubelle géante comparable avait déjà été localisée dans le Pacifique : elle est connue sous le nom de « Great Pacific Garbage Patch ». Le « Great Atlantic Garbage Patch » aurait des dimensions comparables, équivalentes à l’état du Texas…On pourrait trouver du plastique jusqu’à 20 mètres de profondeur. Ce plastique vient de notre consommation et de notre négligence pour traiter les déchets plastiques.</p>
<p><iframe class="embeddedvideo" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/uLrVCI4N67M&hl=fr_FR&fs=1&rel=0&color1=0x3a3a3a&color2=0x999999" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="640" height="505"></iframe></p>
<p>Cette découverte est la confirmation scientifique de ce que <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.surfrider.eu/">Surfrider Foundation</a> dénonce depuis des années. Le pire, c’est que l’on risque de trouver d’autres zones océaniques « plastifiées » dans l’Océan Indien et ailleurs dans le Pacifique ou l’Atlantique dans ces zones qu’on appelle « gyres » car les courants tournent autour.</p>

Beach Closed

I was hoping that is swell would be showing:<br /><br /><a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_SO9-ZWHfzb4/SQ3WlJZR9QI/AAAAAAAAAds/Szfxpbb4MZ8/s1600-h/socal_srf.gif"><img style="display:block;margin:0px auto 10px;text-align:right;cursor:pointer;cursor:hand;width:400px;height:309px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_SO9-ZWHfzb4/SQ3WlJZR9QI/AAAAAAAAAds/Szfxpbb4MZ8/s400/socal_srf.gif" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5264099473131435266"/></a><br /><br />Sadly, when I got down to the overlook, I was reminded that Laguna just experienced <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.latimes.com/news/science/environment/la-me-sewage31-2008oct31,0,7636821.story">a massive 480,000 gallon sewage spill and the beaches were still closed.</a><br /><br />That got me to thinking about all the surfers in town who wouldn't be surfing in Laguna this weekend. These surfers would either skip their surf session (like me) or would have to travel out of town to other surfing areas. In economic speak - they would either have lost the value of a surf session or would incur a higher travel cost to go somewhere else, which will reduce their consumer surplus (stoke) assuming all other things being equal (surf quality, etc.).<br /><br />In February of 1990, the <span style="font-style:italic;">American Trader</span>, dumped over 400,000 gallons of oil in the waters off of Huntington Beach. The spill closed 14 miles of beach for 34 days. Eight years and a ten week trial later a jury awarded the State of California $18 million. To arrive at that figure economists on both sides of the issue used the Travel Cost Method to estimate the non-market value of lost beach and surf recreation. (<a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.surfline.com/surf-news/how-important-is-your-wave-to-your-local-economy-surf-econ-101_16834/">Click here for an surf-centric explanation</a>).<br /><br />Here are some numbers from the calculations:<br /><br />Surfing Trips Lost: 28,290 <br />Value of those trips: $18.75 <br />Total consumer surplus lost: $530,438<br /><br />Surf trips diverted to substitute site: 28,148 <br />Extra cost associated with going to other site: $12.00 <br />Total consumer surplus lost: $337,776<br /><br />Back to the sewer spill, I wonder how much lost value did surfers in Laguna suffer from due to the beach closure? <br /><br />Detailed information on the American Trader spill can be found in the following paper:<br /><br />Chapman, D.

Re-losing my surf virginity

He is currently in his second year at Swansea University – in the freezing Welsh valleys, completing assignments and attending lectures. I’m currently in my fifth month of travelling, enjoying the baking heat of the Australian summer, sleeping in late and partying away the night.</p>
<p><span id="more-4474"></span>But there’s been something lacking; something my brother has had no shortage of – surf.</p>
<p>I’ve spent five months on an island that’s host to some of the best surf breaks in the world, surrounded by crystal-clear, warm water. But I spent three of those five months without surf. I’ll admit it: I cried a little.</p>
<p>There are many reasons for my surfless Oz adventure. I spent a month in Cairns, the awe-inspiring Barrier Reef providing some salt-water therapy during my dive course… But there was no decent surf for thousands of kms.</p>
<p>The second month I spent travelling from Perth to Darwin. Sure, western Oz has some of the most insane line-ups you could ever get your stick wet in, and the mutant slabs of Margaret River offer suicidal-looking, dredging barrels on the right swell. But there wasn’t any. It looked promising for one brief day, but there was no way I was going to tackle 6-foot shore dumps in just inches of water – I left that to the local spongers.</p>
<p>Then I hit Sydney, home of the infamous Bondi beach. What a let down. The conditions weren’t appealing, especially after a couple months out of the water: shallow sandbanks, heavy shore breaks and hefty rip currents.</p>
<p>But things have changed over the last two months. I’m slowly turning the tide on my brother’s tales of winter swell. I’m living the dream in a van on the East Coast. The sun is shining and the swell is consistent. And my brother gets more and more pissed off every time he checks his email or Facebook.</p>
<p>It hasn’t been an easy two months, not by a long shot. I’ve had to go through the ordeal of re-losing my surf virginity, in Australian waters on unfamiliar breaks.</p>
<p>I grabbed my 9 footer and enthusiastically got stuck in to something I thought I could easily handle at Manly beach: 3-4 foot. But I was out of practice, out of energy, and out of patience. I spent the very brief session trying to re-learn the sets, paddling unsuccessfully into waves and resigning myself to white-water rides.</p>
<p>Things began to pick up when I headed to the Great Ocean Road, and I enjoyed a smaller session at Torquay beach, and another on the way back at some nice horseshoe bay. I felt better – I’d eased myself in and taken it slow; I was getting to know the ocean again before going all the way.</p>
<p>I made my way up to Byron, hitting a high with a sunset session at Park Beach North in Coffs Harbour; a slightly more punchy left with the advantage of being the only one out – every surfer’s dream.<img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-4476" style="margin-top:20px;margin-bottom:20px;" title="pict0028" src="http://www.driftsurfing.eu/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/pict0028.jpg" alt="pict0028" width="600" height="450"/></p>
<p>Since arriving at Byron, I’ve scored numerous session at The Pass, Clarkes Beach and Watego. I’m back in the pack again.</p>
<p>I’m now holed up on the Gold Coast before heading to Noosa for some proper logging waves. I’m in the water most days and my stamina and performance are slowly picking up.</p>
<p>Yes, this article is meant to make you jealous of the fact that I’m sunning it up, sampling beautiful breaks, free of the constraints of the English climate and the rubber it requires. But – more importantly – I hope it makes you realise the importance of getting in the water as often as possible, even if it’s just to paddle up and down the beach.</p>
<p>Re-losing your surf virginity is painful and annoying.</p>

How many surf sessions?

This is a follow up about how often they surf. The same 2001 marine recreational survey used in that previous post also estimated how many visits to the beach surfers made in a year.<br /><br />As the graphic above illustrates, there were a total of about 76.5 million surf visits in the US in 2000.<br /><br />This means that surfers averaged about 22 surf sessions per year.<br /><br />The top states for annual surf sessions were Hawaii, California, Florida, and North Carolina. The number of days of participation (visits) for the top five states could not be estimated because there was an insufficient sample size per state after the top 4.<br /><br />At Trestles (a top quality wave with a avid local surf population), <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.surfrider.org/surfecon/Nelsen_2007_TrestlesEconImpact.pdf">survey respondents reported an average annual visitation of 109 visits/year.</a><br /><br />A <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://surfeconomics.blogspot.com/2008/12/study-surfers-ingest-10-times-more.html">study on surfer illness in Oregon</a> found that surfers averaged 77 surf visits per year.<br /><br />If I had to guess, I would say that you'd find that the average number of annual surf sessions is bimodal - there is a large number of surfers who average 5-15 days per year and then there are more avid groups along the coasts that average closer to 70-150 visits a year. More information on the behavior of surfers is needed to figure this out. Hopefully, the <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.surf-first.org/">Surf First</a> surfer survey will help us start to answer this question and others.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7422193777029349802-2172313398973592576?l=surfeconomics.blogspot.com' alt=''/></div>

Impacts of Coastal Development on Surfing
http://surfeconomics.blogspot.com/2009/05/impacts-on-coastal-development-on.html
<a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_SO9-ZWHfzb4/ShMPWBwz2zI/AAAAAAAAA9M/o1xycdbbrSo/s1600-h/Corne-table_illustrated.jpg"><img style="display:block;margin:0px auto 10px;text-align:center;cursor:pointer;cursor:hand;width:400px;height:351px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_SO9-ZWHfzb4/ShMPWBwz2zI/AAAAAAAAA9M/o1xycdbbrSo/s400/Corne-table_illustrated.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5337626854468868914"/></a><br /><br /><br />Nicolas Corne recently published an interesting paper entitled, "The Implications of Coastal Protection and Development on Surfing" in the Journal of Coastal Research (reference and link below).<br /><br />The paper is noteworthy because it is one of the only attempts to quantify if coastal structures (groins, jetties, seawalls, breakwaters) are good or bad for surfing. This is common topic of debate within the Surfrider Foundation because we typically fight against coastal structures because they tend to alter coastal process, harm beaches and can destroy surf spots. On the other hand we are aware that many surfing areas are the result of shoreline structures (many of which have still have other negative consequences). This is especially true on the East Coast of the US where there are few natural reefs to make surf spots.<br /><br />Not too surprisingly this paper finds that coastal protection structures do both, but with the bad out weighing the good for the projects analyzed. Here are some of the other notable elements of the paper.<br /><br /><ul><li>Because physically measuring the physical features of a surfing wave is extremely challenging (<a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://walrus.wr.usgs.gov/research/projects/pleasurept.html">here is one attempt at Pleasure Point in Santa Cruz</a>), Corne relies on user surveys to guage perceptions on the change in quality and crowds.<br /></li></ul><br /><ul><li>It was found that crowds decreased when wave quality decreased as expected, but surprisingly there were no cases were it was reported that the crowd increased when the surf improved. As suggested this has a lot to do with the proximity of substitute sites.</li></ul><br /><ul><li>The results show that seawalls, emergent break waters and beach fill tend to reduce wave quality, where as jetties tended to improve wave quality. The "other categorey and "combo" projects showed mixed results.</li></ul><br />This paper had a number of short comings that challenge its validity that put it at risk of being a formalization of surfing anecdotes.<br /><br /><ul><li>The survey frame is largely Surfrider Foundation members who may have a bias against shoreline structures that is reflective of the organization's <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www2.blogger.com/beach%20preservation%20policy">beach preservation policy</a>.</li></ul><br /><ul><li>The paper doesn't say how many people were surveyed so its impossible to know if the responses are based on one persons opinion or if the results had a wide variation in responses (error bars)</li></ul><br /><ul><li>The survey asks questions about some places that were altered 10 to 15 years ago (e.g the Wedge in Newport Beach) and it begs the question whether survey respondents are able to truly recall changes in surf quality or if crowds have changed for reasons other than wave quality (the author does acknowledge this shortcoming).</li></ul>This paper represents a first attempt to quantify the impacts of coastal protection on surfing, which is an admirable research topic. I believe using crowds as a proxy for surf quality is a sound means of estimating changes over time and is something that warrants further research.<br /><br />Attendance data at surf spots is essential information to better understand the economics, protection and management of surfing areas but has proven difficult to find.<br /><br />Reference:<br /><br />CORNE, N.P., 2009.

este noite somos 21
O mais frequente possivel
Agora uma vez por semana,
é bastante
Tem um brasileiro que vem tocar conosco
E uma dançarina brasileira tambem
Sim, com certeza
são musicas tradicionais que tem percussões
Fazem parte da cultura do pais

In my case I am interested in using economics to help understand the value of surfing. A common criticism of this approach, beyond the philosophical question about the need to use money to value everything, is that the value of surfing for a day doesn't really capture the entire value of the experience. That is true.<br /><br />The common techniques used to capture the non-market value of surfing (or other activities) capture a lower bound. The techniques attempt to measure the value of the <span style="font-weight:bold;">direct use</span> of the resource.<br /><br />To try and put that value in context the<span style="font-weight:bold;"> Total Economic Value</span> framework was established. The other components require non-market valuation techniques.<br /><br />The illustration above shows the Total Economic Value framework, with examples for surfing.<br /><br /><a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.eoearth.org/article/Total_economic_value">Read more here</a> and <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.mfe.govt.nz/publications/water/waitaki-option-existence-values-jan05/html/page3.html">here</a>.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7422193777029349802-2527878541572416420?l=surfeconomics.blogspot.com' alt=''/></div>

Why is it so crowded in the line up: Do The Math
http://surfeconomics.blogspot.com/2009/11/why-is-it-so-crowded-in-line-up-do-math.html
<span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">If you take the coast of California between San Francisco to the Mexican border, which is roughly 500 miles, and grossly estimate that there is one class “A” surf break every 50-miles, that would total 10. Then, say there is one class “B” break very 5-miles which adds 100 breaks to the total. Once again, let’s assume that there is yet another class “C” break every 5-miles to add another 100 breaks, making a grand total of 250, with, in truth, most of the surfers being drawn to the better third.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;font-size:180%;">250 Surf spots</span><br /><br />Now, let’s say that there are 500,000 active surfers in California, and that on any sunny weekend day with a 4-foot swell running, that 10% will hit the surf. Now, let’s consider that at least 1/3rd of those 250 breaks will be completely off-duty due to swell direction. That makes for 50,000 surfers sharing 250-less 83 breaks=50,000/167 which means that on average, there will be 299 surfers for each working surf break along the coast between San Francisco and the Mexican border.<br /><br /><span style="font-size:180%;"><span style="font-weight:bold;">299 Surfers per spot</span></span><br /><br />Now let’s be real, the population is probably 2/3s in the south and 1/3 north, so the distribution at breaks would be weighted to the south. Therefore, let’s say 66% X 50,000 surfers=33,000 surfers for the working breaks in the south, and 17,000 for the working break in the north.<br /><br /><span style="font-size:180%;"><span style="font-weight:bold;">2/3 of those surfers live in Southern California</span></span><br /><br />Of course, quantifying “the better break attracting more than their share” theory means that, let’s say, 35,000 surfers surfing the top third working breaks (56) or about 625 for each of those which leaves only 15,000 for the other 111, or 155 per.<br /><br /><span style="font-size:180%;"><span style="font-weight:bold;">625 surfers per spot in the South</span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">155 surfers per spot in the North</span></span><br /><br />In the real world, what actually happens is that over 500 surf Trestles during a day in roughly five shifts from dawn to dusk-the same at Malibu, and Huntington Pier and San Onofre, while most other breaks get way less.<br /><br /><span style="font-size:180%;"><span style="font-weight:bold;">500 surfers a day at Trestles, Malibu, Huntington & San Onofre on a good day</span></span><br /><br />But any way you cut it the total mass of surfers and approximate number of surf breaks is undeniable.<br /><br />This is, of course, completely theoretical and statically askew, but the numbers don’t lie. We have outgrown our supply.</span></span><b><span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /><br /></span></span></b>From <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.surfersjournal.com/journal_entry/do-math">The Surfers Journal blog</a><br /><br /><p> </p><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7422193777029349802-6503891964800995929?l=surfeconomics.blogspot.com' alt=''/></div>
