“Surf’s Up! But Where and How High?” Measuring and Riding Waves

It may mean Beach Boys and wood-paneled station wagons to you, but surfing today is more a matter of wave prediction data and real time animated film about key surf spots, published on surfing websites. Take a break from your taxes and come join us at noon on Sunday, April 15 at Moby Dick Restaurant on picturesque Stearns Wharf for the best view of the waves (both literally and figuratively) in Santa Barbara (90-minute free parking at the wharf with restaurant validation).
Peter Neushul received his PhD in the History of Science at UCSB in 1993 with a dissertation on Science, Technology and the Arsenal of Democracy: Production Research and Development during World War II. A member of UCSB’s Program in the History of Science, Technology and Medicine, Peter co-taught with Peter Westwick the department’s popular class on
“History of Surfing.”
