Surfing Overview: Oahu, Hawaii
A time-honored sport, surfing originated from the ancient Hawaiians who considered it a symbol of social status and power. Royalty used surfing as a means of maintaining their strength, liveliness, and authority over their people. The sport was nearly extinct by the late 1800s, until a teen named Duke Kahanamoku and his friends breathed life back into it and promoted it worldwide. Now, Kahanamoku’s statue stands on the shores of Waikiki Beach and the beaches of Oahu are filled with surfers of all levels and styles.
