Image of Surfing used to sell...need research help

Help, I am writing a research paper on surfing and how the image of the sport has been used to sell sex, a certain a life style, or whatever. Its aways obvious when surfing is misrepresented in movies and advertisements but does anyone know of any literature about this phenomonon. I’m having trouble finding information on how surfing has been manipulated by hollywood and other industries. If anyone knows of any books or articles on the subject I would really appreciate it. Thanks in advance.

Get hold of video/DVD of “Great Waves-California” / “50 Years of Surfing On Film”,from Surfers Journal Magazine. Quite a bit of history and info here for you. Enjoy the ride!

video-legends of malibu- it touches on some of that stuff
