The First Surf Boards

The First Surf Boards

Making your surfboard during the ancient Hawaiian society was a sacred undertaking

  1. They would only opt for three types of trees: koa, 'ulu, and wiliwili
  2. After choosing a tree, the surfer would dig out the tree and put fish in the hole as a spiritual offering.

Ancient Hawaiian surfers had to carry boards as massive as 175lbs and these practices of making the surfboard were carried out to the very last detail. Only a specialized artisan would make the tree into a surfboard.

The code of kapu determined how long and the shape of your surfboards was allowed to be.
