Word origin

The word 'surfer' originated in the English language in the late 18th century, derived from the word 'surf' which has its roots in the Polynesian language. Surfing as a sport and recreational activity has a long history, with evidence of wave riding dating back to ancient Polynesian cultures. The modern concept of surfing, with the use of surfboards, became popularized in the early 20th century, particularly in Hawaii and California. Today, surfing is a widely practiced sport and lifestyle enjoyed by people all around the world.
