The Sport Of Surfing - A History
Surfing is something many people enjoy. Anywhere there's an ocean you are likely to see at least one or two people out there catching some waves, or at least trying to. It's not only a popular way of having some fun, it can also be a very lucrative sport. There are competitions held around the world, where contestants are able to win trophies, thousands of dollars, and a title.
The oceans of Hawaii were most likely the first to see people riding the surf. What a sight it must have been for the first foreigners seeing these surfers sliding along the top and down the sides of giant waves, perched upon their long boards.
For the ancient natives of Hawaii long ago, riding the waves was, and still remains, an art and the sport of kings. Because the vast oceans are considered sacred to many of these venerable folks, there were formal ceremonies regarding the making and using of the surfboard. The kings and their court were given the right to ride the large boards which weighed less than the smaller heavier boards that the lower caste was allowed to ride.
The strength of the certain kings was able to overcome attempts by white missionaries to have this sport banished for good. When great numbers of foreigners began appearing, they also had a negative effect on the culture, but in the end, no one could stop the Hawaiians from riding their boards.
In the early 1900's, a swimmer and surfer named Duke Kahanamoku started travelling around the world giving swimming presentations. He also used this time to familiarize the rest of the world to the sport of surfing. There is a statue of this wave riding pioneer that still stands today on Waikiki Beach on the island of Oahu.
In the winter on the island the weather never really gets cold, but it does rain a lot. The waves during those months are much bigger than they ever are in any other season. This is the season when surfing competitions take place. There are contests at various beaches, but Pipeline draws the greatest number of people due to the difficulty of riding waves there. Not only is it difficult to ride waves there, it can also be one of the most dangerous. The possibility of losing your life there is very real.
After putting in your time and taking your lumps learning how to ride a surfboard, it might be something you feel you were born to do. It may seem like forever, but when you have finally conquered gravity and have managed to stay on your board, it might be hard to ignore the waves from then on. If your travels take you near a beach, looking for a local surfing rental shop might just be the highest thing on your priorities for the day.

Analog Nights Wallpaper Print in Surf - Aimee Wilder - Aimee Wilder $150 Analog Nights Wallpaper Print in Surf - Aimee Wilder 27" x 15' - Single Roll All papers are printed as triple rolls. Orders of less than three rolls will be cut from a triple roll. All of Aimee Wilder papers come trimmed and are sold in 15′ increments. The prices in our shop reflect a single 15′ roll. We prefer to sell the the yardage uncut whenever possible in up to triple roll lengths. For example, this means that if you order 3 rolls of paper, you will receive 1 large uncut roll that is 45′ in length. This is for your benefit to minimize waste. How to Measure: We recommend measuring with a yardstick or steel tape measure. Make your measurements in feet and round off to the next half foot or foot. Measure the wall height from the floor to the ceiling, excluding any baseboards or moldings. Then measure the length of the wall without deducting for windows or doors (this will leave you extra wallpaper in case you may need it). Multiply the two measurements to find the surface area of the wall. All single rolls of our paper are 15 feet long, but widths vary from 27-28 inches. We plan on including more detailed information about each design in the wallpaper, but in the meantime, please contact us if you require the exact width of a design. To find the surface area of a single roll multiply the paper’s width and length, and then use this to estimate the number of rolls you will need to cover your wall. If you are unsure, please contact us before making a purchase. How to Hang: We recommend that a professional experienced in paper hanging install all wallpaper. We cannot be held responsible for improperly hung paper. Please note that mylar papers can be scratched or dulled by wallpaper smoothing tools. To avoid damage, wrap tools in chamois, lubricate tools with glue, or smooth paper by hand. Please contact us for additional recommendations regarding specific hanging situations. Cancellation and Returns Cancellations of partial or total orders must be received with 24 hours of order placement. Please note, Burke Decor does not accept wallpaper returns at this time. Why? Wallpaper is produced in batches (similar to tile) and due to dye-lot variations that occur based on when the rolls are produced, we are unable to accepts returns. Note: Samples may not be available at this time, please contact us for availability. |
