The
International Monthly Magazine of Literature, Science
and Art. Volume IV, August to December, 1851 Stringer and Townsend, New York. googlebooks.com http://books.google.com.au/books?id=4YRUAAAAYAAJ&source Review In a book review, titled "The Sandwich Islands Today," extracts from Rev. Henry T. Cheever's Life in the Sandwich Islands (1851) included the book's surf riding text and illustration, pages 298-299. It was the first time a surfing illustration was published in a magazine. The surf riding passages are preceded by: "The work abounds with interesting details of Island Life, and we regret that our limitations will not let us enrich the International with more liberal extracts. We can at present add but the following patragraphs on a sport for which the islanders have been celebrated since the days of Cook:" See Source Documents 1851 Rev. Henry Cheever : Surfriding at Lahaina. |

Motor Drives Novel Surfboard
Skimming over the water at high speed,
a recently patented surfboard is powered by an outboard
motor to bring the thrills of wave riding to inland
waters.The motor is carried in a buoyant prow at the front of the thin surfboard, and pulls it forward, instead of pushing. Steering is accomplished by means of a foot-operated rudder at the stern, while a pontoon at each side prevents accidental upsets. The buoyant power unit can be removed from the surf-board and used to drive any small boat or canoe, as shown in the lower drawing. |

Vogue December 15, 1938. June 1939. Posting the cover of the December 1938 edition on the Surf Blurb, March 2019, DeSoto Brown noted: “Vogue” women’s fashion magazine is still being published today, although its influence is much diminished from what it had achieved in the 20th century. Editorially it was aimed at wealthy women, although many of its readers were probably far less rich and influential than the people it publicized. This cover has been reproduced in a number of surfing history books since the 1970s. Including Matt Warshaw's definitive History of Surfing (2010) and A Brief History of Surfing (2017). Initially published in December 1938, the cover was used again for the following year's summer edition of Vogue in June, 1939. Interestingly, it has no connection to any of the contents of this particular issue; a Hawaii story did, however, appear in a subsequent issue. In this era, magazine cover illustrations or photographs often did not reflect their contents; see examples above including Judge (1923), Physical Culture (1925) and The New Yorker (1933). The photographer, Toni Frissell, was a woman, one of the first photographers to move outside of the studio for fashion photography, setting a trend in the field. The US Library of Congress holds a collection of her photos of approximately 340,000 images including the outstanding Lady in the Water or Weeki Wachee Springs, shot in Florida in 1947. According to Pleasurephoto (wordpress, 2012) the surfing photograph has been flopped (mirrored) and slightly cropped for the magazine cover. To get this shot it was necessary to actually build a temporary framework structure in the shallow water at Waikiki to be able to look down on surfers on passing waves. Before the introduction of telephoto lenses, the most dramatic images at Waikiki were shot from a canoe, or occasionally from the end of the Moana Pier, one of several structures erected on the beach-front in the early 1900s. For the Outrigger Canoe Club's second Clark Cup contest at Waikiki in February 1910 a 24ft steel structure was ferried out to the reef on the largest available canoe steered by Kenneth Brown and deposited "in the midst of the big breakers." In addition to the large platform on the reef erected for M. Bonvillain's camera (Pathe Freres, Paris), a small one was to be placed in front of the Moana Hotel. A similar structure appears in the image of Moana Pier noted above, half way between the canoe and the end of the pier. The two boards shown in this picture appear to be hollow, judging by their thickness as seen from the side. Even so, they would’ve been much larger and heavier than most anything in use today. These are possibly hollow boards but likely pine, balsa and redwood laminated boards, which were occasionally chambered, that were popular in the late 1930s. In California, for a brief time, they were, infamously, branded with a swastika. Similar boards appear at Waikiki in the footage below at 3:16. 1930s VINTAGE HAWAII & SURFING MOVIE WAIKIKI BEACH HONOLULU 44874 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HOj1I9KO4X4 Also see: Vogue: Charting the Rise (and Rise) of the Surfer Girl https://www.vogue.com/slideshow/charting-the-rise-and-rise-of-the-surfer-girland-her-fashion-influence-photos#1 |
