Surf’s Up at SDSU!...”Science of Surfing”

The San Diego State University
Library’s new Science of Surfing exhibit
highlights wave energy, tides, types of surf
breaks and conditions, and stewardship of
our oceans through charts, diagrams,
photographs, art, and videos. It also
explores different surfboard designs and
engineering.
The colorful presentation is on loan
from CSM and is based on 2023’s
highly regarded Science of Surfing
exhibit. Blending scientific inquiry with the popular sport of surfing, the display
encourages students and other visitors to think about the connection between
science and recreation.
Students and faculty involved in the Surf and Skate Collaborative and the
Center for Surfing Research are using the exhibit as part of their studies this
semester. The display is scheduled to be up until winter break
(above at R)...Business Librarian and longtime surfer, Timothy Tully said, “I hope this exhibit inspires students
to learn more about the technical details of surfing. This is a great way to show how engineering, design, natural
sciences, and craft all come together. There are also issues of social justice and environmental sustainability to
explore.”
