This volume explores all aspects of surfing from the underlying physics of waves, the morphology of wave breaks through to the cultural development of surf culture. It explores the links between science and engineering with arts, culture and economics, all through the lens of surfing. The book provides the one-stop location of knowledge on this global sport, offering a unique transdisciplinary exploration of surfing, integrating STEM and HASS as well as medicine by bringing together the leading researchers in the field in a coherent framework, integrating the disparate specialist academic journals in which material currently resides. The book will appeal to undergraduate students and the general public, and will cater to readers from all backgrounds due to its transdisciplinary reach.
