Perancangan Buku Biografi Mengenai Kehidupan Piping Irawan Surfer Di Pantai Canggu, Bali

Indonesia merupakan negeri yang memiliki pantai-pantai yang indah, dan memiliki musim yang baik sehingga pantai yang terdapat di Indonesia dapat dipergunakan untuk surfing selama enam bulan. Sehingga Indonesia seharusnya bangga ketika memiliki banyak orang yang berbakat menjadi surfer. Tetapi Kenyataannya surfer yang ada di Indonesia dipandang sebelah mata oleh masyarakat Indonesia ini sendiri. Mereka menganggap bahwa surfer merupakan seorang pengangguran yang hanya menghabisakan waktu di pantai, untuk menarik perhatian turis. Sehingga image yang dimiliki surfer Indonesia sangatlah jelek di mata masyarakat Indonesia. Oleh karena itu buku biografi ini dibuat untuk membenahi pemikiran buruk mengenai surfer. Karena surfer bukanlah pengangguran yang menghabiskan waktu mereka dipantai dan surfer bukan sebuah kedok untuk mencari turis saja

Kemeny's constant and the random surfer

We revisit Kemeny's constant in the context of Web navigation, also known as "surfing." We generalize the constant, derive upper and lower bounds on it, and give it a novel interpretation in terms of the number of links a random surfer will follow to reach his final destination

Surfing like a girl:A critique of feminine embodied movement in surfing

This article explores the position of women in the sport of surfing. I contend that within surfing there remain many forms of oppression that have not been given appropriate attention in feminist studies. In this article I apply Iris Marion Young's analysis from “Throwing Like a Girl” to the sport of surfing. Young's article offers many insights into forms of domination and oppression that pervade the sport, and that are demonstrated through the restricted movement of female surfers. I conclude by making suggestions for how to address these issues in surfing through a greater promotion of big‐wave surfing.</jats:p

Claiming the Indomitable Wave: Masculinities, Sexualities, and the Realm of Surfing in Costa Rica

Examining the relationship between masculinity, sexuality, and the sport of surfing in the context of Costa Rica. Questions the nature of emergent counter identities in the hyper-masculine realm of the surfing subculture and the ways in which the emergence of counter identities changes the nature of the subculture. Focuses on the anthropology of sport, the anthropology of sexuality, and theories of territoriality

The effect of environmental conditions on the physiological response during a stand-up paddle surfing session

Stand Up Paddleboard (SUP) surfing entails riding breaking waves and maneuvering the board on the wave face in a similar manner to traditional surfing. Despite some scientific investigations on SUP, little is known about SUP surfing. The aim of this study was to investigate the physiological response during SUP surfing sessions and to determine how various environmental conditions can influence this response. Heart rate (HR) of an experienced male SUP surfer aged 43 was recorded for 14.9 h during ten surfing sessions and synced with on board video footage to enable the examination of the effect of different surfing modes and weather conditions on exercise intensity. Results indicated that the SUP surfer’s HR was above 70% of HRmax during 85% of each session, with the greatest heart rates found during falls off the board (~85% HRmax) and while paddling back to the peak (~83% HRmax). Total time surfing a wave was less than 5%, with the majority of time spent paddling back into position. Wind speed positively correlated with HR (r = 0.75, p &lt; 0.05) and wave height negatively correlated with wave caching frequency (r = 0.73, p &lt; 0.05). The results highlight the aerobic fitness for SUP surfing, where wave riding, paddling back to the peak, and falls appear to be associated with the greatest cardiovascular demand and demonstrate that environmental conditions can have an effect on the physiological response during SUP surfing sessions

The Imaginary Voyage: an online opera

This short feature describes a project to create an online opera which deploys a new web technology, the Syzygy Surfer, developed in the Institute of Creative Technologies (IOCT) at De Montfort University. The project is a collaboration between the IOCT and The Opera Group (now Mahogany Opera Group)
