Thanks for the awesome video. The only waves I ever rode were concrete and wood. I have no doubt if I had lived near a coast I’d have been surfing up a storm.

Aloha. I appreciate your video. Very well done and great to listen to and watch. I just want to point out that there are other arguments and perspectives on the "extinction" of surfing in Hawaii. I am currently taking a surf history course at BYU-Hawaii form Isaiah Walker and he wrote a book on it called "Waves of Resistance". In his book, he highlighted how surfing did not die out among Hawaiians because of the missionaries, but was a cultural refuge for them in the midst of colonization. Highly recommended read.

Peru's 5,000 year old carving are of weaved type single man boats with a paddles, sitting down to catch fish, comparable to a single man canoe. Hawaiians used canoe's to catch fish and boards to he'e nalu (wave gliding or surfing). Hawaiians were master navigator's of the vast ocean over 10,000 years ago. Of course, Polynesians invented he'e nalu.
