Description
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. This work argues that throughout the twentieth century Hawaiian surfers have successfully resisted colonial encroachment in the po'inanalu (surf zone).
