Abstract
Wave reading and selection are vital, yet challenging, for beginner surfers during the process of learning to surf. Built on the author's auto-ethnographical diaries, this paper reflects the real-life challenge of noticing when and where to catch the best wave. More importantly, beginner surfers often struggle to follow the instructor surfers who are instructing them with references to a particular wave or specific sections of a wave. The author uses the joint visual attention theory to provide a tentative explanation for this observed phenomenon. This paper proposes a speculative design solution of using AR and gaze-tracking-based goggles to foster joint attention on waves between beginner and instructor surfer, allowing the former to follow the instructor's directions and the latter to understand where the beginner is looking. This paper primarily aims to facilitate discussions in the sports HCI community and hopes to provide a reference to surfing literature in which beginner surfers and their learning experience lack attention.
