The Surfing Subcultures
Violet WoolfWhat the specific subcultures within California surfing look like in 2025
|The Subcultures
The surfing subcultures that exist within the broader California surf culture in 2025: the competitive shortboard culture whose participants follow the WSL tour and whose performance metrics are determined by the competitive scoring that judges apply; the longboard and log culture whose practitioners surf in the stylistic tradition that the California surfing of the 1960s established; and the specific surf fitness culture that has developed around the specific physical preparation that high-performance surfing requires.
The New Subcultures
The new subcultures that have emerged in the past decade: the foil surfing community whose practitioners ride the hydrofoil boards that lift the rider out of the water; the bodyboarding community whose practitioners have developed the specific prone wave-riding tradition that the California beach break produces; and the surf photography community whose members are as often outside the water as in it.
Surf LA Coverage
Surfing LA covers the surfing subcultures because the accountability journalism of the surf culture requires examining the diversity within the surfing community and what the specific subcultures are producing in the California context.
