Więcej o książce

Focusing on the vibrant community of big-wave surfers in Oahu's Waimea Bay, the book explores how social interactions shape their experiences and identities. Sociologist Ugo Corte, as both participant and observer, delves into the dynamics between mentors, novices, and peers, highlighting how they foster a culture of collective fun amidst danger. He examines reputation, performance strategies, and the emotional energy that binds surfers together, ultimately framing fun as a social phenomenon that enhances group cohesion and transforms individual self-concepts through shared, risky experiences.
