It is not exactly known, but a wave of Polynesians that migrated from Parquesa possibly as early as 300 BC were the first to inhabit the island of Hawaii. They most likely developed it between their arrival on Hawaii and the second wave of migration from Riatae and Bora Bora, during the 11th century.
The surfboard became a deep spiritual symbol, as intricate rituals were involved in the building of a surfboard and the praying for good waves brought harmony into Surfing as a whole, and from the early Hawaiian inhabitant's views it was a sacred art. It was also used as a test of courage and skill, and to train Hawaiian chieftains. In some cases the art of surfing was even used to settle disputes. At this time there were two type of surfboards; Olo, used by the Chieftains and and the Noblemen (Alli) of the villages and the Alaia, used by the commoners of the villages.
Surfboards were made using the Wili Wili, Ula and Koa tree's. Also, the size of early surfboards depended on social class. The commoners used 10-12 foot surfboards while Noblemen and Chieftains used 14-16 foot surfboards, an insightful analogy to the modern-day term, "Bigger is better".
