contents Towards a Theory of Surfing Expansion: The Beginnings of Surfing in Spain as a Case Study Daniel Esparza Multidisciplinarias (Ciencias Sociales) mass media Spain History surfing Surfing is today a popular sport which has been studied from many disciplines. Surfing expanded from the U.S. to the rest of the world. With respect to the history of (sport) surfing, there were at least two fundamental topics which need to be explored and developed: I) Explore the genesis of surfing in Europe. II) Develop a theoretical framework on the history of surfing expansion since this field has remained almost neglected up until now. This article is the first attempt to develop a theoretical fra- mework of surfing expansion. In doing so, it will be focused on the genesis of surfing in Europe in gene- ral, but concretely on Spain as a case study. The first step was to examine the origins of surfing and its expansion before arriving to Spain (Australia, Peru, Britain, France and Portugal). Later on, it was needed to determine who were the pioneers in Spain, and how, when and where they “discovered” sur- fing, and thus how, when and where they obtained or made their surfboards. After comparing all the information, it has been possible to formulate a theoretical framework and make a classification accor- ding to four types or patterns of surfing genesis, based on the various forms of foreign influence: 1) endogenous genesis (no foreign influence); 2) quasi-endogenous (foreign influence through mass- media, yet pioneers made their own surfboards); 3) exogenous (surfing began as a result of direct con- tact with foreigners); 4) mixed. 2016 artículo científico 1885-3137 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=71044746009 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/710/71044746009/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/710/71044746009/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/710/71044746009/71044746009.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/710/71044746009/movil en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=710 RICYDE.
