Decolonizing Surf Tourism with Dr. Tara Ruttenberg

  • Resumen

  • On this episode of the Swell Season Surf Podcast, we talk with Dr. Tara Ruttenberg, a surf tourism expert, about the negative impacts of surf tourism and the search for empowering tourism models that benefit local communities. Dr. Ruttenberg, a writer, researcher, and PhD in development studies, shares her journey into surf tourism study, inspired by her surf experiences in Costa Rica. The conversation covers the impact of surf travel on local communities, the concept of sustainable surf tourism, the role of localism, and practical ways surfers can travel more responsibly. Dr. Ruttenberg explains how her research aims to create non-growth-oriented, community-centered alternatives to traditional tourism models. Additionally, we discuss the ethical challenges expats face when moving to surf destinations and effective strategies for ensuring local communities benefit from surf tourism. Dr. Ruttenberg created Tarantula Surf as a platform for authentic sharing and engaging with alternative socioecological paradigms for a more beautiful world.
