Surf - Canvas
Kupaianaha / Kowabunga
Going back to between 1778 and 1779 these are the years in which Captain James Cook traveled to Hawaii, in October - December 1778 Cook traveled from America to the Hawaiian Islands. In 1779 Captain James Cook was killed. It is recorded within his journals a crewman of the HMS first sighted what is known today as "surfing".
Although it is still "unknown" to what the surfboards or as the locals called it "Papa he‘e nalu" was made from, it is however recorded a couple years later boards being made from trees. The species of tree varies from location to location depending on local breeds.
Surfing was apart of culture in Hawaii, your surfboard was more than just a piece of wood, they symbolized status, Royalties were known to have their boards made from native Hawaiian trees, this breed of tree was exclusive to Royals.
"Kupaianaha" is the Hawaiian word for surprising or wonderful and it may have influenced surfers who had grown up with Howdy Doody.
