Surfing is believed to have originated in ancient Polynesia, with its earliest documented practices occurring in Hawaii around the late 18th century. The sport's roots can be traced back to the early 12th century, where it was an integral part of Hawaiian culture, often associated with both recreation and spirituality. Surfing gained global popularity in the 20th century, particularly after the introduction of modern surfboards and the rise of surf culture in the 1950s and 1960s.
