Water-Based Tourism, Sport, Leisure, and Recreation Experiences

Abstract

This chapter describes a history of both surfing and windsurfing, highlighting the linkages with commercial sponsorship from the early 1900s and the adoption of the sports’ images by media and commerce, even while both sports engage their participants in activities of personal fulfillment and potential membership in an alternative subculture. However, market changes have meant sporting organizations have had to respond to an emergent graying market, as both surfing and windsurfing might be said to represent “early” adventure sports that have subsequently been supplanted within youth culture by more extreme sports such as skateboarding that are located in an urban milieu.
