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 covers traditional
surfing, including descriptions of the six Hawaiian surf-riding
sports (surfing, bodysurfing, canoe surfing, body boarding,
skimming, and river surfing). This is followed by an exhaustive
Hawaiian-English dictionary of surfing terms and references from
Hawaiian-language publications and a special section of Waikiki
place names related to traditional surfing. 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.
