Behind the Break: An Ethnography of Women in Surfing

Behind the Break details the lives of women in the WSL Championship Tour during the 2017 season and examines the gender inequality and discrimination women in surf culture endure. Author Joseph C Wilson specifically examines the differences in the Swatch Pro in San Clemente, California and the Maui Women's Pro in Honolua Bay, Hawaii- looking at how the women competing on the WSL Championship Tour deal with competition in and out of the waves.
