Surfing is a sport that catches the imagination. From the Beach Boys to Blue Crush, youths across America and the world are caught up in the mystery and status of surfing. For those who surf, it isn’t such a big deal. But for the Midwesterner trapped in a Chicago winter or the fishmonger selling cod on the streets of Boston surfing might hold the same mystique as a foreign country. English explorer Captain James Cook “discovered” Hawaii for the Europeans. After the captain was killed during failed military “negotiations” with the natives in 1779, Lieutenant James King took on the responsibility of keeping a travel journal of all the strange and exotic customs they’d come across. King’s entry on surfing took up two pages. It is impossible to say when surfing became popular, but it has continually been a central part of Hawaiian culture. Since the United States conquered Hawaii in 1893 and annexed it as a state in 1959, the local surfing culture has been adapted by mainland culture, epitomized in the surfer lingo and lifestyle of Sean Penn’s character Jeff Spicoli in the 1982 movie Fast Times at Ridgemont High.
