Hope you can help out here. My English Lit class is studying the play Blackrock which is set in a fictional town on the east coast (near Newcastle). It is set in the 90's and the male characters are all surfers. I was hoping I could show my class your posts so if you could post some thoughts on what it means to be a surfer, what commercialisation did to the sport, surf icons of that era, fashions!!, out of water activities (keep it clean!!) and the surf trip with mates(one of the main characters returns from a round OZ trip and talks about Jakes!!), any pics would be awesome. They will view the film which is helpful but some insight from the well educated and dedicated crew from the forum would prove invaluable. Thanks in advance.
