One of the earliest photos of a surfer at Waikiki Beach, carrying an alaia board in 1898.
While reading about the history of surfing, I came across this passage in a travelogue called "Roughing It" by Mark Twain, which was published in 1872. Apparently, Twain was one of the earliest writers to have witnessed surfing in the Hawaiian Kingdom. He writes:
"In one place, we came upon a large company of naked natives, of both sexes and all ages, amusing themselves with the national pastime of surf-bathing. Each heathen would paddle three or four hundred yards out to sea (taking a short board with him), then face the shore and wait for a particularly prodigious billow to come along; at the right moment, he would fling his board upon its foamy crest and himself upon the board, and here he would come whizzing by like a bombshell! It did not seem that a lightning express-train could shoot along at a more hair-lifting speed.
I tried surf-bathing once, subsequently, but made a failure of it. I got the board placed right, and at the right moment, too, but missed the connection myself. The board struck the shore in three-quarters of a second, without any cargo, and I struck the bottom about the same time, with a couple of barrels of water in me. None but natives ever master the art of surf-bathing thoroughly."
Congratulations to Professor Jeff Halliday and Dr. Alec Hosterman as two of the faculty members who were recognized during halftime of today’s game versus Campbell. They were nominated by players who have had a significant impact on them during their time at Longwood.
