Surf boards
Since surf boards were first presented in popular culture in the movies
and music they have represented a way of living. They have been synonymous
with relaxing by the ocean and enjoying the sun. Surf board culture
is still alive and well today.
For teenagers who live by the beach surf boards can represent rebellion.
Instead of going to school a surfer might skip class and hit the waves.
There is also an entire repertoire of music for beach bums to listen
to. The Beach Boys’ spirit is alive and well in today’s
pop music.
Surf culture also influences adults. Many former corporate executives
retire to a life with surf boards. To them, lying in wait to catch waves
symbolizes a Zen like approach to catching the next best thing in life
while appreciating nature.
