This project explores the role of surf tourism for post-tsunami recovery to understand how surf tourism is used to recover relationships with waves and the sea in post-tsunami settings, and to share disaster experiences of the tsunami affected areas as part of knowledge exchange and transfer. Preliminary fieldwork was conducted in Fukushima and Aceh, and new networks established between Hirono (Fukushima) and Lhoknga (Aceh). This resulted in a collaborative symposium held at ICAIOS research center in Aceh.
