Her project focuses on the history of surfing in Ocean City, Md, and the influence of Hawaiian traditions on local surfers. Married to an avid surfer, she easily landed several interviews with surfers of different background and ages ranging from 17 to 85. She discovered during her research how surfing became popular on the East Coast and its beginnings in Ocean City. Photographs enclosed.
