ANTH 175L — Surf Culture Field Lab
Complements the lecture materials presented in the ANTH 175. Provides students with an understanding of surf culture in the Pacific Basin using O‘ahu as a model for understanding ancient and modern surfing culture in Hawai‘i. Field activities include surfing demonstrations and instruction, opportunities to speak with local cultural informants, and fieldtrips to various museums to learn about Hawai‘i’s surfing heritage. A coastal tour of O‘ahu will be made to study the history of several major surf breaks.
