Surfing has been a significant sport and cultural practice in Hawai‘i for more than 1,500 years. In the last century, facing increased marginalization on land, many Native Hawaiians have found refuge, autonomy, and identity in the waves. In Waves of Resistance Isaiah Walker argues that throughout the twentieth century Hawaiian surfers have successfully resisted colonial encroachment in the po‘ina nalu (surf zone). The struggle against foreign domination of the waves goes back to the early 1900s, shortly after the overthrow of the Hawaiian kingdom, when proponents of this political seizure helped establish the Outrigger Canoe Club—a haoles (whites)-only surfing organization in Waikiki. A group of Hawaiian surfers, led by Duke Kahanamoku, united under Hui Nalu to compete openly against their Outrigger rivals and established their authority in the surf. Drawing from Hawaiian language newspapers and oral history interviews, Walker’s history of the struggle for the po‘ina nalu revises previous surf history accounts and unveils the relationship between surfing and colonialism in Hawai‘i. This work begins with a brief look at surfing in ancient Hawai‘i before moving on to chapters detailing Hui Nalu and other Waikiki surfers of the early twentieth century (including Prince Jonah Kuhio), the 1960s radical antidevelopment group Save Our Surf, professional Hawaiian surfers like Eddie Aikau, whose success helped inspire a newfound pride in Hawaiian cultural identity, and finally the North Shore’s Hui O He‘e Nalu, formed in 1976 in response to the burgeoning professional surfing industry that threatened to exclude local surfers from their own beaches. Walker also examines how Hawaiian surfers have been empowered by their defiance of haole ideas of how Hawaiian males should behave. For example, Hui Nalu surfers successfully combated annexationists, married white women, ran lucrative businesses, and dictated what non-Hawaiians could and could not do in their surf—even as the popular, tourist-driven media portrayed Hawaiian men as harmless and effeminate. Decades later, the media were labeling Hawaiian surfers as violent extremists who terrorized haole surfers on the North Shore. Yet Hawaiians contested, rewrote, or creatively negotiated with these stereotypes in the waves. The po‘ina nalu became a place where resistance proved historically meaningful and where colonial hierarchies and categories could be transposed. 25 illus.

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

In The Last of the Golden Years in Surfing, legendary surfer Conrad Louis Canha, father and founder of the Hot-Dog style of surfing, shares his experiences and adventures that would forever change the culture of surfing and revolutionized its style. The son of a Portuguese descendant from Madeira who was a machine mechanic on the plantation, Conrad became an ambitious and determined surfer. His style of surfing continues to inspire more than 20-million surfing enthusiasts with his zig-zag, cut backs and tube rides. Conrad tells these stories, written in English with Pidgin scattered throughout (Pidgin is the language of the plantations, still spoken in 21st century Hawaii). He describes his real-life experiences from living on the Puunene sugar plantation on Maui to learning the Hawaiian sport of Kings, surfing, and becoming one of the few people in the world to become an International Surfing Champion. From sailing for the first time from Hawaii to California, and competitive canoe paddles to a teamster driver, Conrad met many of Hollywood's finest - from Walt Disney to Tom Selleck. He worked on the movie set of the original Hawaii Five-0 with Jack Lord, James MacArthur and Kam Fong. During this time, he would also meet Robert Conrad and Connie Stevens of Hawaiian Eye while working on the set of the original Jurassic Park. His stories are mixed with different emotions but would not be complete without sharing the love Conrad had for the three dogs that played such a major part in his life's journey. As the author, Fran Palama (herself a surfing champion), introduces each story, she weaves the history of the era and the reality of the times into stories that can stand on their own even as they are deeply connected to the stories of Conrad's life.Duke Kahanamoku once wrote that the best surfer out there is the one having the most fun. Kimo Hollinger, big-wave rider and author of many surfing articles wrote that whenever and wherever Conrad goes, you have got to know that everyone there is having a good time. The Last of the Golden Years in Surfing is a must have for every surfing enthusiast from keiki (child) to kupuna (elders) to add to their collection. It is an easy read, full of nostalgic photos and stories of life in Hawaii from the 1930s and 1940s and wild surfing experiences of the 1950s and 1960s.

Despite a genuine admiration for Native Hawaiian culture, white Californians of the 1930s ignored authentic relationships with Native Hawaiians. Surfing became a central part of what emerged instead: a beach culture of dressing, dancing, and acting like an Indigenous people whites idealized. Patrick Moser uses surfing to open a door on the cultural appropriation practiced by Depression-era Californians against a backdrop of settler colonialism and white nationalism. Recreating the imagined leisure and romance of life in Waikīkī attracted people buffeted by economic crisis and dislocation. California-manufactured objects like surfboards became a physical manifestation of a dream that, for all its charms, emerged from a white impulse to both remove and replace Indigenous peoples. Moser traces the rise of beach culture through the lives of trendsetters Tom Blake, John “Doc” Ball, Preston “Pete” Peterson, Mary Ann Hawkins, and Lorrin “Whitey” Harrison while also delving into California’s control over images of Native Hawaiians via movies, tourism, and the surfboard industry. Compelling and innovative, Waikīkī Dreams opens up the origins of a defining California subculture.
