@E_Devienne @NorthumbriaUni Congrats! This is excellent news 😊 I am sure both @E_Devienne and @NorthumbriaUni will benefit from this exciting appointment 👏
@E_Devienne Last reference I want to mention here: DePong, 2019, Hawaiians, Surfing, and Race in Los Angeles, 1907-1928. Depong is a PhD candidate, and got this paper published in Southern California Quarterly. I have not read her paper yet.
@E_Devienne My PhD dissertation deal with this (slightly) on pages p. 233-237. However, most work don't mention "surfing turning white" in that time period. This occurs earlier, in the 1900s-1910s in Waikiki. Have a lot of references on this, including my book.
@E_Devienne Just saw your Tweet. I have a few references in mind. Here is one "Ormrod J., 2005, Endless Summer (1964): Consuming Waves and Surfing the Frontier."
