      abstract = {Ethno-aesthetics of Surf in Florida discusses surf and  music as glocal sociocultural constructs. Focusing on  Florida's unexplored surfing culture, the book illustrates  how musical experience begets representations about the  world that highlight ways of acting and being of various  sociocultural communities. Based on the conceptualization  of ethno-aesthetics, this ethnographic study provides an  analysis of the Space Coast surfers community's  collaborative effort to build social cohesion through their  musicking. This transdisciplinary research in American  Studies draws upon various theoretical perspectives from  both the humanities and social sciences, including  ethnomusicology, social psychology, and sociolinguistics,  to propose new ways of exploring the links between surfing  and musicking. This monograph looks past the myth of iconic  1960s Californian surf music to show how, as a result of  the glocalization of surfing, the musicking of Floridian  surfers has allowed them to express their subjectivities  and to make sense of their world. This book contributes to  the debate on the disputed notions of identity and  representations by establishing connections between a local  expression of the surf lifestyle and its music. It proposes  theoretical models that explain cultural hybridization,  appropriation, and belonging in surfing. It also develops  concepts and notions, such as surfanization, surf strand,  lifestyle crossover, and identity marking, to illustrate  how global practices, such as surfing, are endowed with  various modes of expression exemplified by the emergence of  unique regional subcultures of surfing.
