Surfing

On Oahu.
A Hawaiian invention is the SURFBOARD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Duke Kahanamoku, a Hawaiian, first brought surfing, as we know it today to Freshwater Beach in Sydney in 1915.
It was to the native Hawaiian people but now it's just a fun sport.
The Hawaiian word for race is "heihei kūʻai", which can also mean competition or contest.
The first European record of surfing in Hawaii comes from Lieutenant James King, who completed the journals of Captain James Cook upon Cook's death in 1779. At the time, surfing had already been an integral part of indigenous Hawaiian culture for generations. Native Hawaiian surfers rode waves lying down, sitting or standing on long, hardwood boards. Surfing was as much a part of native Hawaiian life as any major sport is part of western life today, if not more. It permeated every part of Hawaiian society, including religion and myth. Hawaiian chiefs would demonstrate and confirm their authority by the skills they displayed in the surf.
