An Entity of Type: Thing, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

The riding of waves has likely existed since humans began swimming in the ocean. In this sense, bodysurfing is the oldest type of wave-catching. Archaeological evidence suggests that ancient cultures of Peru surfed on reed watercraft for fishing and recreation up to five thousand years ago. Standing up on what is now called a surfboard is a relatively recent innovation developed by the Polynesians. The influences for modern surfing can be directly traced to the surfers of pre-contact Hawaii.

dbo:abstract
  • La historia del surf es difícil de rastrear en lo relativo a sus orígenes, puesto que no hay documentos escritos nativos que la atestigüen. A pesar de ello se conservan diversos testimonios de antiguos viajeros europeos que observaron el arte de deslizarse sobre la superficie del agua. Con la aparición del surf moderno y su extensión por el mundo ya se puede reconstruir la historia contemporánea del surf. Actualmente se practica el surf en casi todo el mundo, aunque las industrias más boyantes de tablas y complementos tienen sus sedes en Australia, Europa del Sur (mayoritariamente España y Francia) y Estados Unidos. De igual manera las legendarias tablas de madera continúan siendo elaboradas por surfistas entusiastas de conservar la esencia del surf, tallándolas en diferentes tipos de madera, como Acacia, Balsa (América y el Caribe), Paulownia (Asia), Ishipingo (Sudamérica) o Caoba (América) entre otras con características de ligereza, dureza y resistencia al agua (es)

  • It is true to see them go fishing in Callao de Lima, was for me a thing of great recreation, because there were many and each one in a balsilla caballero, or sitting stubbornly cutting the waves of the sea, which is rough where they fish, they looked like the Tritons, or Neptunes, who paint upon the water.
