• Description:
  A survey was conducted in 1986 to determine the contributions made to Hawaii's economy by the many professional and amateur surfing contests. These contests were analyzed so as to (1) provide a description of different surfing activities; (2) provide a breakdown of their economic effects by kinds and levels of expenditures involved in each contest; and (3) examine the problems faced by surfing contest organizers and promoters in Hawaii. Observations were also made on the growth of auxiliary surfing-related businesses in the state such as the manufacture and sale in Hawaii of surf fashions, various types of surfboards, windsurfboards, bodyboards, and other equipment. Results are presented here.
