Title: Celebrate the Surfing History of Hawai'i Publisher: Arcadia Publishing Date: 6/6/2011 PRLog (Press Release) - Jun 06, 2011 - New from Arcadia Publishing's Images of America series is Surfing in Hawai'i. In vintage photographs, local author and surf historian Timothy Tovar DeLaVega shares the history through more than 200 vintage images giving readers a unique opportunity to reconnect to the history that shaped their community. When the early European explorers traversed the globe, their journals held numerous accounts of Hawaiians enjoying surfing. Since Europeans of that era were not accustomed to swimming in their own cold waters it must have seemed like a dream to watch naked native Hawaiians riding the waves of a turbulent sea. Nowhere in the ancient world was surfing as ingrained into the culture as on the islands of Hawai'i. He'e nalu (wave sliding) was the national sport and enjoyed by all. When a swell was up, whole villages were deserted as everyone fled to the beach to test their surfing skills. Legends of famous surf riders were retold in mele (song/chant) and fortunes could be decided on the outcome of a surfing contest. From these shores, modern surfing was born, along with the iconic romantic images of bronzed surfers, grass shacks and hula. Available at area bookstores, independent retailers, and online retailers, or through Arcadia Publishing at (888)-313-2665 or www.arcadiapublishing.com.
