Surfing was shaped by the international sports boycott against apartheid despite its marginal status as a sporting tradition in South Africa. From the late 1970s to 1990, white South African amateur and professional surfers adapted to sports isolation in different ways. Excluded from the world titles, Springbok teams held unofficial tours. Professionals had to deal with passport problems when travelling as well as an Australian led boycott of the South African contests on the world surfing tour. In providing this context, this research examines how white South African surfing persistently, yet unsuccessfully, produced a discourse that attempted to separate sport from politics. By 1990, South Africa was a surfing nation in crisis as a direct result of the international sports sanctions.
