Surfing Skills - Riding Waves...

Zane Ryder

Surfing is one of the world’s most iconic sports, rich in history and culture that stretches back thousands of years. It originated in the Pacific islands, with Hawaii being the most notable hub of early surfing traditions. In ancient Hawaiian culture, surfing was much more than a recreational activity—it was a deeply spiritual practice that connected people to the ocean and honored its powerful forces. Chiefs and royalty often participated in the sport, which became a way to showcase skill, bravery, and mastery over the waves. 
The first surfboards, known as "olo" and "alaia," were crafted from native woods like koa and wiliwili. These boards were often large and heavy, requiring immense strength to maneuver. The process of shaping and blessing the boards involved rituals, emphasizing the cultural importance of surfing as a sacred act. 
During the 19th century, the influence of Western missionaries led to a decline in surfing, as it was discouraged for its association with Hawaiian traditions and leisure. However, the sport saw a revival in the early 20th century, thanks to key figures like Duke Kahanamoku. Known as the "father of modern surfing," Kahanamoku was a Hawaiian Olympic swimmer who shared his passion for surfing with the world. His demonstrations in places like Australia and California helped spark global interest in the sport.
