A stupid question about surfing

Postby kegleg33k » Mon Jan 23, 2006 8:15 am

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! :)

..sarcasm aside ! .. ( take no offence earlier .. i just work with the material given :wink: :D )

If there is anyone in particular you would like to know about or just historical / spiritual roots , then tap into a search engine who or where and what your looking for and you'll get back enough usefull links to get to what you really want to know .... if not and you would like to know about anything else ..then tap in ' Roy ' ..." he likes visitors " ... but not in person unless you have a tree under your arm and would like it turned into a hovercraft :twisted:



" the cheeze management reserves the right to still use the 'Roy' trademark crowd pleasers ..especially if it still sends the occasional punter to his site :twisted: :wink: Roy :arrow: :wink: )

if you want someone to hand you the material- go get 'riding giants' not only a sweet movie, but has the history of surfing in 2 minutes or less.
