The 1910s


The period 1910-1919 was the first full decade following Surfing's Revival at Waikiki in the first years of the Twentieth Century. In many ways, we know less about the 1910s than we do the first decade of surfing's resurgence because, once the revival was underway, the growth of surfing became less dramatic, albiet more far-reaching. This chapter covers the events and the surfers of that decade in the kind of depth that cannot be found anywhere else.
