Evening Republican, Volume 21, Number 242, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 27 October 1917 — Surf Coasting. [ARTICLE]

Surf Coasting.

The sport of surf coasting reached this country from Hawaii and promises in a few years to become a popular sport. In California it was much practiced this past summer, while ft few surf boards might be seen on the New York beaches. American manufacturers have put on the market a special surf board which is a considerable improvement over the plank used by the Hawaiians, having ah air chamber at one end. All we lack now Is the Hawaiian skill in riding the big breakers standing up.—Exchange.
