Surfing Surfboard

In antiquity, the art of navigation is a deeply spiritual issue for Hawaii and surfing is not just entertainment but a means to resolve conflicts and leadership training in Hawaii. The people of Hawaii had rituals for building surfboards and sailboards were built 10-16 feet made solid Redwood and on the edge of their social status. In the early days, Hawaiians made of two types of surfboards from the Wili Wili, the ULA to KOA and the tree.

The "Olo surfboard" was organized by the chiefs or nobles usually between 14-16 meters and the "Alaia surfboard" was between 10-12 feet long and manned by community members.

Captain Cook witnessed surfboards Surf solid native wood, when he visited the Hawaiian Islands in 1777 and his diary are the documents described first official art of surfing.

Later, in mid-19th century when Western missionaries / surf whites came almost disappeared on the islands. In the 20th century the influence of missionaries in the islands began to and the fall of Hawaiians with new European and American settlers began to sail again. One of these was George Freeth, which by the surf, experimented with the design board, and cut his 16-foot table in the middle of Hawaii. So making your own business in Hawaii Board of the day at about 6 to 10 feet long.

In 1926, one of the most famous names in the history of surfing, Tom Blake developed the hollow surfboard built Redwood hundreds of holes drilled into the computer and covered with a thin piece of wood above and below the table. The board was 15 feet long, 19 cm wide, 4 mm thick and weighs 100 pounds.

This hollow surfboard eventually became the first mass produced on board in the 1930s due to its weight and speed that could generate.

In 1932, the wooden raft from South America has become a popular material for building surfboards. The new boards of balsa wood weighed about 30 to 40 pound redwood boards placed at 90 to 100 pounds. This weight reduction was an important step in the design of the board, and became increasingly demand.

The end of World War 2 opened up new possibilities in the design of surfboards, like many new materials have become available to through advances in technology. Fiberglass and Styrofoam were the most important.

The shortboard surf world joined in the past 60s 70s and the average length increased from 10 to 6 feet, with a marked reduction in weight. These new boards allowed surfers to ride in the pocket of the wave and Dick Brewer is credited with its design. These new boards allowed faster, more aggressive and more maneuverability surf. It was at this time that he created the fin double, placed by one.

In 1966, Nat Young won the world championship in a short table named "Sam", designed by George Greenough and Bob McTavish. This board has allowed a higher yield of surf style with tighter turns and greater acceleration, triggering the "short board revolution."
