Did people surf in 1916

Answer 1

Yes people did surf in 1916. Here are some facts from the Wikipedia article on Surfing and the history of surfing.... The art of surfing was first observed by Europeans in 1767, by the crewmembers of the Dolphin at Tahiti. Surfing on the East cost of the United States began in 1912 when James Matthias Jordan, Jr. captivated the locals astride a 110-pound (50 kg), 9-foot (2.7 m) Hawaiian redwood Australian surfing was invented in 1915 by a Hawaiian: Duke Kahanamoku

No I do not think that people in the year 1916 did any surfing, as it was a sport that was invented much later.
