A stupid question about surfing

hi!
I´m from Denmark, and as i know, surfing is not such a big "sport" up here. But í´m having a project about surfing, and i would be very happy if you could tell me some thing about the history in surfing, like who started it etc. or if you could give me some links, cause i find it damn hard to find any info
Thanks!
