Today most surfboards are mass-produced with fiberglass and a stew of petrochemicals, moving (or floating) billboards for athletes and their brands, emphasizing the commercial rather than the cultural. \u003cem\u003eSurf Craft \u003c\/em\u003emaps this evolution, examining surfboard design and craft with 150 color images and an insightful text. From the ancient Hawaiian alaia, the traditional board of the common people, to the unadorned boards designed with mathematical precision (but built by hand) by Bob Simmons, to the store-bought longboards popularized by the 1959 surf-exploitation movie Gidget, board design reflects both aesthetics and history. The decline of traditional alaia board riding is not only an example of a lost art but also a metaphor for the disintegration of traditional culture after the Republic of Hawaii was overthrown and annexed in the 1890s. In his text, Richard Kenvin looks at the craft and design of surfboards from a historical and cultural perspective. He views board design as an exemplary model of mingei, or art of the people, and the craft philosophy of Soetsu Yanagi. Yanagi believed that a design's true beauty and purpose are revealed when it is put to its intended use. In its purest form, the craft of board building, along with the act of surfing itself, exemplifies mingei. Surf Craft pays particular attention to Bob Simmons's boards, which are striking examples of this kind of functional design, mirroring the work of postwar modern California designers. Surf Craft is published in conjunction with an exhibition at San Diego's Mingei International Museum.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProduct Format \u0026amp; Details: Hardcover | \u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan property=\"numPages\"\u003e192\u003c\/span\u003e pp. | 11 in x 10 in\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eText and Images: MIT Press\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"divMain\" class=\"divMain\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"divAnnotation\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"MIT Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":28497326465,"sku":"MIT-Book-SurfCraft","price":44.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1190\/4902\/files\/71YF9ROYW2L.-AC_SL1500.jpg?v=1704123385"},{"product_id":"paulville-surf-truck-blue","title":"Surf Truck T-shirt","description":"\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSoft.

To initiates, it is something else: a beautiful addiction, a demanding course of study, a morally dangerous pastime, a way of life. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eRaised in California and Hawaii, Finnegan started surfing as a child.

It immerses the reader in the edgy camaraderie of close male friendships forged in challenging waves.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eFinnegan shares stories of life in a whites-only gang in a tough school in Honolulu. He shows us a world turned upside down for kids and adults alike by the social upheavals of the 1960s. He details the intricacies of famous waves and his own apprenticeships to them. Youthful folly—he drops LSD while riding huge Honolua Bay, on Maui—is served up with rueful humor. As Finnegan’s travels take him ever farther afield, he discovers the picturesque simplicity of a Samoan fishing village, dissects the sexual politics of Tongan interactions with Americans and Japanese, and navigates the Indonesian black market while nearly succumbing to malaria. Throughout, he surfs, carrying readers with him on rides of harrowing, unprecedented lucidity.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eBarbarian Days \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eis an old-school adventure story, an intellectual autobiography, a social history, a literary road movie, and an extraordinary exploration of the gradual mastering of an exacting, little-understood art.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAbout the Author: \u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWilliam Finnegan\u003c\/strong\u003e is the author of \u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCold New World, A Complicated War, Dateline Soweto\u003c\/em\u003e, and \u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCrossing the Line\u003c\/em\u003e.
