    Not just any topic, you need to have an opinion on it. Like yes surfing culture does create a special lifestyle, but obviously that topic is too narrow. Any suggestions? The paper needs to be at least 3 pages. Thanks so much :D

    Ask people who surf everyday what they do for a living. I'm interested in how people can manage their schedules to have time for daily surfing. Seems like most of the grownups who can do that are contractors, small business people, dentists in small practices, etc.

    I think a localism makes an easy paper. Do it on popular breaks/destinations and how it efffects localism. I'm sure it's easy to come across a ton of info. It may be hard to keep it to3 pages

    different types of boards and how they vary on rider, shape, performance, etc. you can make it pretty general too if it gets too long

    Do one on the origin of Surfrider and whether they do good or evil. Or how Cali keeps switching it's stance on the Toll road thru Trestles - or why have 3 surf shops in Times Square?

    Write it about what some surfers owe other surfers; there seems to have been some confusion lately.

    While searching for some source to help start my research process I came across this website DegreePeer it helps one to jump start on their research process. It features papers and presentations shared by their users. And the best thing is that they also allow users to ask questions that other users answer. Now that's something that would surely help me get on with my research.

    There have been some articles about artificial reefs built for surfing and environmental purposes. I'm not sure if they have been successful as surf spots or good environments for marine life. I'm sure the proponents thought they would have an economic benefit as well. It would be a good topic for the length of your paper.
