| Summary |
Surfing may well be a quintessential Aussie pastime but who introduced us to the modern-day art of board riding? Warren Brown gets the lowdown from former world champion surfer Midget Farrelly. He tells the story of Duke Kahanamoku, a champion Hawaiian swimmer, who showed Australians how to ride a wave at Sydney's Freshwater Beach in 1914, using a board he built himself from a lump of local timber. Huge, heavy and completely fin-less, the first Australian surfboard has pride of place in the local surf club |
