History.

At the beginning of the 20th century began to be known by people surfing America and Australia and the surfing community was formed on some beaches in the US. Surf culture arising from the rising prominence of sports which gave birth to the life style and reflected from a variety of products, music, fashion, magazines to movies depicting child paced beach relaxing. American sociologists in the mid 50s branded as the lazy man's culture. But in the era of the early 19th century, this sport began favored by the young, the average among young Europeans, for example: America, Mexico. prefer this sport, so it became a popular sport worldwide and over again.

Beginning of surfing in the World.

The first known occurrence surf connected to the ancient Hawaiian tradition "he'e nalu", which means "wave-sliding". To this ancient Hawaiian culture, the sea has a persona attached, which can reflect the emotions. A good day of surfing needed right waves, and to convince the sea to provide this wave, relying Ancient Hawaiian kahuna (priests) to pray for good surf. Kahuna will engage in ritual chants and dances, with the intent to provide the sea fun with surfable waves.
Surfing is not just a pastime for the older leaders. This exercise serves as an exercise intended to keep the head in top physical condition. Furthermore, surfing served as a conflict resolution system. Rich class members will test their skills in fierce competition, where riches, pride, and even love is at stake.
All this tradition changed though with the arrival of the whites, or what Hawaii will call 'haole'. All the Hawaiian culture dismantled by the arrival of Captain Cook in the late Eighteenth Century.Increasing number of foreigners visiting Hawaii after hearing stories about adventures Cook. Initially these intruders were explorers and traders seek profit, but soon missionaries and settlers came, wanted to destroy the Hawaiian culture and take the land.

These people do not bring respect for the ancient traditions of their culture invaded, and soon will almost disappear. The introduction of western religion stripped supernatural elements of surfing. Forced to adapt to a new lifestyle, a native of losing contact with their old-fashioned way, and surf immediately go to a big drop.
As the Nineteenth Century approached, surfing is almost a hobby extinct. However, surfing is not down for the count. Unlike traditional sports, surfing is not destroyed. As the Twentieth Century opened, the stage was set for a great revival.

By the beginning of 1900 came a renewed interest in surfing. Back at first in Hawaii by a group of teenagers bear known as 'Waikiki Beach Boys'.

Previously, Caucasians had believed that only native Hawaiians have the capacity to surf. This all changed though when the original Hawaii-Hawaii Irish descent named George Freeth moved to California and received an award as the California coast guard first, and the first promotional surfer in the world to promote a local railway company. I
It was not long before surfing in America began to spread along the California coast. A few years later in 1915, the international, Duke Kahanamoku (one of the largest and most important in the history of surfing!) Has introduced surfing to Australia, where he will catch up very quickly.

From this point onwards, many advances in technology along with a broad interest in the fast growing sport of surfing taking further. 'Roaring twenties' research is an important time for surfing. Advances in surfboard design around the 1920s is making the sport much more accessible to the public. The first surf competition ever in 1928. The main discovery is car ... using cars, surfers can easily venture along the coast of California in search for the best waves. This causes the Surf Safaris (or Surfari's), in which the surfer who dedicated California will spend the entire weekend trips up and down the beach, partying as hard as surfing.

The number of surfers still not too big, because of the difficulty of sports. The introduction of fins on a surfboard made the sport easier to learn, and because it allows a more elaborate fins and pull tricks, sport quickly take a broader fan base.

Changes over the years in the materials used in the manufacture of surfboards, sailboards has made more lightweight and easy to maneuver. Initially red wood, and then balsa and plywood. Advances in technology brought about by World War II created new materials are available, enabling the modern styrofoam and fiberglass boards.

Perhaps one of the most important innovations in the history of surfing, and more often overshadowed the development of a surfboard, wetsuit it is! That first wetsuit was designed in the 1950s in California, when Jack O'Neill stitched neoprene pieces in the form of a vest. wetsuit was so important, because for the first time surfers can surf all year, not to say that no one has ever braved the cold water, because they are, but the wetsuit which allows the surfer to stay in the water longer, practice more, which along with progressions in surfboard design, opened the door to new and radical surfing maneuvers are explored.

Advertising will be the next major impetus for surfing. A man named Dale Velzy credited to the popularisation of surfing. Velzy surfing's first sponsor, giving boards to local surfers in exchange for support. Velzy also the first major surfboard manufacturers to take advantage of a massive advertising campaign. Velzy made surfing visible to the American public.

Next will come 'surf movie'. Starting with the film Gidget and later The Endless Summer. Surf movies ignited an explosion of interest. This film really opened the eyes of America to surf as a hobby. As a result of this nation hooked.

Through this film started surfing culture, which would sweep America. Music, fashion, and English all affected.

As the surf craze continues the most profound changes can be found in the board, which in the late 1960s have reduced in size form 10 feet to 6 feet. This will be known as the 'shortboard revolution', and is one of the first innovations brought by the Aussie's. Shorter accompanying commercialization surf boards, which go from the underground obsession to influence mainstream culture.
