Surfin Popularity
Surfing is bigger than ever. Though an ancient Polynesian pastime imbibed with spirituality and cultural significance, it only began to emerge in terms of global popularity during the late 1950s and early 60s. At this time, the modern surfing era began in its ancestral home of Hawaii as well as in California and Australia. Since then surfing has gone through a few booms and even some lulls, but in terms of mainstream appeal and global spread, it is now experiencing unprecedented growth.
From Hawaii to Bali, Portugal to Russia, South Africa, Brazil, California and Morocco, there are dedicated surfers, hobbyists, professionals and casual admirers of surf culture.
