Legendary Surfers made me aware of the Wax Cylinder Preservation Project, which features many a hawaiian recording from back in the days.

Hawaiian Guitar cylinders

Ukulele cylinders

Xylophone cylinders

Marimba cylinders

Hawaii topic cylinders

while we’re at it:

Japanese cylinders

German cylinders

Guitar cylinders

And they sent this article right along, which describes the dawn of modern surfing in the islands, in the 1910s.

Von der Pressestelle des DWV:

Unter der Schirmherrschaft der beiden deutschen Top-Surferinnen und ROXYRiderinnen Sonni Hönscheid und Carla Twelkemeier und in Kooperation mit dem DWV findet in diesem Sommer am 16. August der Girls Go Surfing Day in Hossegor statt. Der Event wird ein Tag von Girlz für Girlz sein.

Alle urlaubenden, deutschen Girlz zwischen Bordeaux und Biarritz sind herzlich eingeladen, einen Tag am Meer zu verleben:
Los geht´s morgens um 10 Uhr. Geladen werden die Girls ins Roxy / Quiksilver-Haus nach Hossegor, wo neben Surfers Breakfast und Kennenlern-Runde ein prall gefülltes Goodybag auf jede wartet!

Nach dem Surfers Breakfast geht es weiter mit entspannendem Yoga, um sich geschmeidig und gut aufgewärmt von Sonni und Carla coachen zu lassen. Surfclinics,erste Mannöver und eine kurze Einführung ins Wettkampfsurfen bieten die Grundlage für den späteren ausgefahrenen kleinen Funcontest. In lockerer Atmosphäre wollen wir versuchen mehr Mädchen für’s Wettkampfsurfen zu gewinnen und zu begeistern.

Wer Lust hat, kann sich beim Beachvolleyball austoben oder an einem professionellen Fotoshooting teilnehmen.

Nach ausgiebiger Beachaction mit Fotoshooting geht es dann gegen frühen Abend zurück zum Roxy-Haus, wo ein BBQ die müden Mädels wieder munter macht. Ob der Abend mit chilligen Tunes oder animierenden Beats ausklingt, bleibt den Mädels bei der Ladies Night selbst überlassen.

Sicherlich werden nicht nur viele nette Bekanntschaften, sondern auch unvergleichbare Momente zurückbleiben.

Anmelden könnt Ihr Euch unter jan.groenendijk@surf-dwv.de.

First of all: it rained, so the two Surf shows and The Endless Summer projection took place indoors. The attendence was fair sized, could have been a little better, if outside sure some passer-bys would have joined the fun.

The first time I saw the Surfaris, and it was overwhelming. They cover the entire field of classic California Surf Music and each player added his personal style to great effect, especially Paul Johnson has to be noted here, a flawless player.

Check out this precious handbag:

First they build a golf course and houses to ruin the dunes and now this. What is the world coming to? Is it only surfers realizing what’s happening? Probably.

All beaches in the world belong to you – the people!!!

Exhibition on 60s surfing photographer in Cornwall – found via Pacific Longboarder:

Surfing Sixties

Jack Eden

This summer Tristan’s Photographic Gallery in Wadebridge, North Cornwall, takes advantage of both its status as one of the few international fine art photographic galleries outside of London and its sunny location amidst the surf beaches of North Cornwall to present a collection of rare, hand-printed, black and white images by the founding father of Australian surf photography, Jack Eden. Described as the ‘photographic biographer’ of Australian surfing history, Eden shot the majority of the images displayed between the late fifties and late sixties mainly around the beaches of Sydney for use in his magazine ‘Surfabout’ learning developing and printing techniques by correspondence with legendary American landscape photographer Ansel Adams.This period was a time of great transition, growth and development in surfing, as both new materials and designs allowed for great progression in the water and more young people pursued a relaxed and carefree lifestyle after the war years such as that offered by the beach. Jack Eden captured both the action taking place on the waves and also the fashions, cars, musicians and attitudes of the blossoming Australian beach scene which has since developed to become a national stereotype. The sixties were the decade when Australian came of age on the waves – the surfing evolution and revolution.…
