Abstract

A media sport per excellence, surfing established many links with culture (music, television, film), including imbrications with pop culture. These trends were important for the process of making it known and for the building of an image for the external public, as well as the configuration of values for the members of the subculture. In Brazil, this process had a notable strength during the 1980’s. The article summarizes the imbrications between surfing and sound and audiovisual media in that period, with Fluir magazine as its main source.
