Historic Hawaiians Surfing Waikiki on wooden longboards

Diamond Head is the name of a volcanic tuff cone on the Hawaiian island of Oʻahu and known to Hawaiians as Lēʻahi, it can be seen clearly in the background. Check out how these people share waves with Aloha. This footage was probably taken by Tom Blake, who made a housing for his camera and had it mounted on a small boat. . this film was made around 1910

It's the 1930's

This can't have been shot in 1910. At the end of the video is a shot of the Royal Hawaiian hotel which didn't open until 1927.

@TheChristopherx back then no one cared about becoming famous and stuff like that....it was jus about experiencing that ultimate feeling, cruzin, and having fun......too bad its not still like that today

Hard to belive there is no footage of Tom Blake Surfing on youtube. This footage is super.

Ah the cliche request, perhaps not.

Different sounds give a new slant to it
