As I returned from Chiba yesterday, I calculated the time left before the conference in March. Not very much in conference paper terms. Time to step up the research.
With a few pics of the venue ready to go and some work done on the history, I went in search of some of the popular culture references to surfing. This is the next stage of the work.
I've ordered a film that was made by the well-known director Kitano Takeshi (that won't arrive quite in time but it will arrive); and on to a bookshop to see what I could see.

There is much more to do for the paper but also beyond. I'm quite looking forward to this project as it unfolds.
