The sport has spawned a number of offshoots, including wake boarding, skim boarding, skateboarding, and windsurfing, among others. In addition to being a dynamic sport which can be practiced by people at all levels of ability, it is also associated with a specific surfing subculture which some people aim to emulate. Hawaii and Australia are particularly associated with this sport but good surf spots can be found all over the world, from the coast of Africa to the beaches of Japan.The origins of this water sport are at least 500 years old, and possibly even older. Early Polynesian cultures developed the sport and brought it with them as they traveled throughout the Pacific, introducing it to missionaries and European explorers. Lest you think surfing is only for shaggy bums, Captain Cook himself wrote about it in Hawaii on his voyages there. Early missionaries tried to repress it, but the sport continued to be practiced, and in the 1920s, it exploded in popularity, thanks to the work of Duke Kahanamoku, a legend in this sport.We can explain this water activity like an outlet for anxiety and stress, an inlet for nature and satisfaction, a connection between you and the ocean, your board acting as some semi-conductor of magnetic and gravitational forces pulsing from the center the sprawling expanse of nature itself. Sounds a bit fluffy, huh?Some risk their lives hurling themselves over precipices of liquid concrete into the guts of a 30-foot meat grinder with little fanfare but maybe a few hoots from the channel. Sure, there are praise and money in the surf industry abuzz with cameras and competition, but that only makes up such a small portion of such experience that it’s hardly worth mentioning.Real surfers don’t need a team or a game to test their mettle. In the real surfing world, there are simply rider and board, but a fluid as well , uneven, and predictably unpredictable playing field, an unfeeling surface ready to swallow you whole or spit you out in shreds onto the sand. This sport is a mystery, but with enough romance to draw in droves of disciples. Some put in a season and then fade back into normalcy, unsatisfied with the high or all done mining the lifestyle of its image.If you haven’t tried it yet, go for it. It might move you to the core or just touch you beautifully and leave. It is, however, better to have surfed and quit then never to have surfed at all.
