Talk with Michael Scott Moore, CA/Berlin.

How did an obscure tribal tradition from pre-colonial Hawaii – nearly eliminated by Christian missionaries – jump oceans to California and Australia? How did it become a world sport, and how does it clash with cultures in corners of the earth where the surf might be excellent but the society is highly traditional or superstitious about the sea?

Since summer starts on this very day, come and listen to this most remarkable over view of the history of surfing! Michael Scott Moore is a novelist and journalist who works for Spiegel Online International
