​Investigators assume that surf was created on the 12th century, for the exact reason that they found caves with drawings of people riding waves. This was found in Polynesia and the polynesians brought it to Hawaii. In Hawaii it became more than a sport, actually it became a religious practice. After the Hawaiian conquest, surfing was really lost.

​When and where was it created

​There was a period of time when surf stop being a part of Hawaiian culture, this time was called the dark age of surf. In the late 1800 tourism in Hawaii started to grow, and as surf was a part of history, surf started becoming the sensation. Throughout the 1960s, surfing continued to become more and more relevant due to media coverage.

Surfing is now a worldwide success and thrives wherever the population can catch a decent wave.

The most lasting and fundamental development in surfboard design came in the late 1950s with the gradual move away from wood in favor of fiberglass and polyurethane foam. Californian designer Bob Simmons developed the "sandwich" surfboard a few years later: the board consisted of a foam core that was then covered with plywood, along with balsa outer rails and a fiberglass layer as proof. Foam's selling point is that it's incredibly light, which makes the boards easier to control (although foam boards at the time were so light they weren't quite buoyant).

​Evolution of surfboards

The increased availability of surfboards in the 1950s fueled the explosion of "" in the 1960s, which allowed the sport to spread across the planet, in a way thanks to "surfing gangs" like the Beach Boys and Jan and Dean, as well as films like "Endless Summer." And while hardwoods were gradually replaced by synthetics, another vestige was to disappear by the end of the 1960s: the length of the boards. Superlight 10.5-foot (3.2-meter) boards were difficult to maneuver in waves, and in 1969 builders like George Greenough and Pete Brewer helped excite the dominance of the 1.8-meter (1.8-meter) shortboard. .8 meters). , or "pocket rockers". Longboards allow surfers to ride the waves vertically; Shortboards also allow this, but they also have the ability to do turns, which gives the surfer more independence to do tricks and personal style.
