In this episode we discuss why history matters, who makes surfing history, in what forms surf history is produced (from the surf media and surf films to surf museums), and the uses of surfing history. We focus on Kevin Dawson's Undercurrents of Power: Aquatic Culture in the African Diaspora (University of Pennsylvania Press, 2018) as an important contribution of historical knowledge about Atlantic Africans' aquatic practices in West Africa, including swimming and surfing. We close of the episode by providing our take on why unsettling surf history is important for the production of knowledge about surfing’s pasts in the Global South.
