A bit of history
Around 1900, surfing reappeared in Hawaii and soon crossed the borders thanks to Duke Kahanamoku who was a gold medalist at the 1912 and 1920 Olympic Games and several times silver medalist at the 1924 Olympic Games.
He strongly contributed to make his art known through exhibitions in the United States, Australia and even in Biarritz. Jack London was fascinated by this practice and wrote many articles about this activity, thus making this sport known in Australia, the United States and throughout the world.
A bit of history
Around 1930, new manufacturing techniques and new types of wood made it possible to lighten the boards and contributed to the democratization of the sport. The 30’s saw the appearance of the first Big Wave Rider.
A bit of history
Around 1950 (the post-war period) the appearance of composite materials considerably lightened the surfboards and contributed once again to popularize the activity. The appearance of the single fin (board with only one drift) allows a different approach, the trajectories evolve.
In 1960 surfing exploded. The appearance of magazines and films everywhere made it known to the general public. The term Soul Surfing appeared with the arrival of surfers who avoided crowded spots in search of new playgrounds (e.g. Miki Dora).
A bit of history
Then the 70s marked the “short board revolution” with the appearance of the thin twin and the shortboard. Boards were getting shorter and shorter, and trajectories were evolving thanks to the drifts. We no longer surf the board on the wave but the wave with the board. It is also the years when Soul Surfing really develops. This spiritual and philosophical concept defines this discipline in its purest form.
The Soul Surfer lives and breathes by and for this sport and its quintessence. Fleeing the surfing system, in search of the dream spot, it is at this time that many current world class spots were found such as, Uluwatu in Bali or Anchor point in Morocco … exceptional waves rolling over hundreds of meters.
A bit of history
Surfing has become more and more popular over the last few years and is becoming accessible to a larger number of people, thanks to the appearance of surf schools all over the world.
The Soul Surfing Skol strives to respect and perpetuate the original values of surfing through a respectful and passionate teaching, referring in particular to the Soul Surfer spirit.
