Surfing always occurs on Indigenous lands, and centering Indigeneity in surfing studies both recognizes this fundamental fact and creates a different starting point for connecting surfing, storytelling, power, and relationships. In \u003ci\u003eWaves of Belonging\u003c\/i\u003e, Lydia Heberling, David Kamper, and Jess Ponting gather essays by scholars and practitioners that grapple with power, identity, and belonging while remaining grounded in a sense of hope and futurity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eContributors explore how Black, Indigenous, Latinx, queer and trans, and female-identifying communities transform surfing culture into possibilities for new imagined relations. The essays also interrogate the implications of the COVID-19 pandemic and twenty-first century racial protest movements as they manifest in surfing communities, geographies, and cultures across the world. Throughout the volume, surfing emerges as a method for decolonizing, righting historical wrongs, and restoring relationship with lands and waters and as a praxis for language learning.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOriginal and timely, \u003ci\u003eWaves of Belonging\u003c\/i\u003e challenges the histories of exclusivity associated with surfing and demonstrates how Black, Indigenous, and LGBTQ+ people have drawn on surfing's counterculture reputation to construct new spaces of hope and community.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cb\u003eLydia Heberling\u003c\/b\u003e is assistant professor of ethnic studies at California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo. \u003cb\u003eDavid Kamper\u003c\/b\u003e is professor of American Indian studies at San Diego State University and author of \u003ci\u003eThe Work of Sovereignty: Labor Activism and Self-Determination at the Navajo Nation\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003cb\u003eJess Ponting\u003c\/b\u003e is associate professor and founder and director of the Center for Surf Research at San Diego State University.
