The Invention of Surfing

It is a well-known fact that surfing is an impressive sport. However, the exact origins in history of it aren’t really certain. It was first seen by Europeans on a ship in Tahiti surfing destinations back in 1767.

However, there is some research that says that surfing dates way back – to ancient Polynesian cultures. There are many myths, and according to one, the chief of a tribe was the man who could surf the best – the best wave rider was the leader of his community. So, we can say that this says a lot about the meaning of surfing in some cultures.

For instance, the richest surfing tradition is related to Hawaii – as it was a way of life, since they created surfboards as a part of the spiritual being, and they cared about surfing a lot. It was fascinating for them to tame the ocean by riding waves, and the upper class Hawaiians created a society that revolved around surfing as a sport.

Hawaii, Australia, and California emerged as the most popular surfing destinations for those who seek the lifestyle associated with surfing.
