Historic Surf Picture

Postby Lister87 » Sat Mar 08, 2008 2:35 pm

Hey everyone, i am looking for a surfing drawing done by James Cook (or his Leuitenant when Cook died) from hawai'i around 1879.

It has the sea on the left, boats, and one surfer paddling out to see coming in from the bottom right to the left of the picture and one potential surfer on the beach.

Thanks if you have/can find it.

Cheers

Alex
