Surfing has become one of the most popular water sports, and Australia
contains some of the best surfing spots in the world, Australia also produces some of the best
surfing champions in the world, such as five time world champ Stephanie Gilmore
and three time world champ Mick Fanning.
Surfing isn’t just a fad that has recently started, it’s actually been
in the Australian culture since the 1990’s when the legendary Hawaiian Duke
Kahanamoku, brought surfing to Australia, Duke visited multiple countries and
gave surfing demonstrations. Duke’s demonstration in Australia was Sydney and
that how surfing Down Under began. Yet it is thought that Captain James Cook
first observed this pastime in the early 1770’s. In the early sixties, surfing
was then introduced to Europe by Australian Lifeguards.
