The article is a nice blend of honoring the past and celebrating the present which shows the ongoing legacy of surfing.

-What we get here with this is amazing testimonies from California college students and the piece is a great groundwork of how to go about my ethnography. It really focuses on the point of unity with surfing which would be a great angle for me to take.

-When i think of this culture, I think of The Beach Boys and how they embodied this 60s California culture, so their history is crucial when doing research.

-Finally this piece touches on two aspects of the culture back when it originated in the 60s: rebellion and silliness. There was a cathartic nature to surfing with moments of levity and touching on those two aspects is important to understanding surf culture.
