Surfing is worldwide, but its roots are in Hawaii. From its island home, the sport has spread internationally in the last one hundred years. As surfing has grown, so has the interest in its history. Bishop Museum Archives in Honolulu holds the largest collection of historic photos in Hawaii. From this unparalleled resource comes this selection of surfing images, some familiar and others never before published.

Available at Bishop Museum's Shop Pacifica (phone 808-848-4158, email at shop@bishopmuseum.org) and other fine bookstores throughout the islands.
