Although the act of riding a wave started as a religious/cultural tradition, surfing rapidly transformed into a global water sport. The popularity of surfing is the result of events, innovations, influential people (http://www.surfertoday.com/surfing/9754themostinfluentialpeopleto thebirthofsurfing), and technological developments. Early surfers had to challenge the power of the oceans with heavy, finless surfboards. Today, surfing has evolved into a hightech extreme sport, in which hydrodynamics and materials play vital roles. Surfboard craftsmen have improved their techniques; wave riders have bettered their skills. The present and future of surfing can only be understood if we look back at its glorious past. From the rudimentary "caballitos de totora" to computerized shaping machines, there's an incredible trunk full of memories, culture, achievements and inventions to be rifled through.

In the caption, he thanked everyone involved with the event for an unforgettable experience, and applauded Owen Wright S and John John Florence for their brash performances. Slater failed to specifically congratulate event‐winner Gabriel Medina, however. This perceived snub triggered an avalanche of nasty remarks, snowballing into a 1,000‐plus thread of warring comments from fans, friends, and haters. Nothing new here, of course, when it comes to the cacophonous cesspool of response that burbles below almost all content posted online: the usual dark, toxic brew of human folly, a global melting pot of sycophantic fan worship, mockingbird’s songs, troll‐thrown knives, and frat boy sexual harassment. What seemed more noteworthy in this instance was the caption that accompanied Slater’s next photo. “My next post was going to be dedicated to @gabrielmedina but I think I’ll let you wait for that one since it doesn’t sound like you’re all done telling me off yet.
