If images of the kahuna (experts) ritualistically chanting to the Gods to bring the waves, protect men and women who rode them, bless the carved wood boards, kings and queens battling for wave rights and integration between man and the magic of the sea brings images of the history of Surfing to your mind’s eye, then you must be filled with Aloha, as the Polynesians intended. The history of surfing dates back centuries before the first written account of observing ‘the sport of kings’ in 1779 by Lt. James King in the ship’s log of Captian James Cook’s Discovery.
It is always recommended to have the essential Scuba Gears while you are exploring the world underwater. But before buying the scuba gears the necessity and the functionalities of the scuba gears should always be kept in mind.

What a great way to qualify as a PADI Rescue Diver - in the beautiful waters of the Caribbean on the south coast of Antigua. We dived as a class of 6 with an ex-army instructor, Steve Bingley, who really put us through our paces with’ panicking diver at the surface’, ‘unconscious diver at depth’ and so on. We learned a valuable lesson one day, when we had to throw out a lifeline to a tired diver a few meters from the RIB.
In the early 1900’s the Hawaiians organized the Hui Nalu (surf club) and competed in neighborly surf competitions with the Outrigger Canoe Club. This drew a great deal of attention to the Waikiki surf shore, bringing a revitalized interest in the sport, which had fallen out of favor in the late 1800s. Duke Kahanamoku, an Olympic star in swimming, popularized the sport further by traveling internationally and showing off his surfing style to thrilled audiences around the world. He was favored by Hollywood elite- having acted in bit parts in films and was always recruiting new surfers wherever he went. He is credited with surfing the longest wave of all time in 1917, in the popular surfing area now called Outside Castles in Waikiki. His 1000 meters plus wave record has yet to be overtaken.
