Good evening/ morning

im from sydney Australia and im currently doing an assignment on surfing :).

i was wondering if you surfers out there would be able to help me answer some questions im having trouble finding information on.

1st question: how has surfing progressed since it began
2nd question:the changes which have occured and the equipment used
3rd question: current and future trends for surfing

if you could reply here or email me @ ar_kay@bigpond.com or huckwit@hotmail.com with your answer that would be greatly appreciated

Whilst I know quite a bit about it, I'm not going to write it all out, cos A) I don't have time and B) That'd be like writing your assignment for you!! :D

Here's a site about the history of surfing:

And try these 2 too - it also has a bit of board design history:

This one has a pic of surfboards over the ages that you could use:
