Hawaiian Surfing

Hawaiian Surfing is a history of the traditional sport narrated primarily by native Hawaiians who wrote for the Hawaiian-language newspapers of the 1800s. An introductory section on traditional surfing is followed by an exhaustive Hawaiian-English dictionary of surfing terms and references from Hawaiian-language publications. The information in each of these sections is supported by passages in Hawaiian, followed by English translations. The work concludes with a glossary of English-Hawaiian surfing terms and an index of proper names, place names, and surf spots.
