Their home was an archipelago of islands in the Pacific that in those romantic days of O th the late 19 century conjured up exotic images of tropical rain forests abloom with colorful orchids and palm trees bowing gracefully in the gentle warm trade winds. Born to High Chief David Kahalepouli Pi#ikoi from Kaua#i Island and Princess Victoria KãhiÇ Kinoike Kekaulike, the three princes were raised on Kauai, the northernmost of the main islands making up the Hawaiian archipelago. This is the story of how these three 19th century Hawaiian princes came to introduce surfing to the Americas, and how sharing their love for what was to them very much a part of their culture, would inspire young men of a future generation to create the new sports of skateboarding and snowboarding based on the simplicity of a wooden surf board. Tragedy and fortune Prince David Kaw~nanakoa (born 1868) was the eldest of the three princes. He had two younger brothers: Edward Keli#iahonui (b. 1869) and Jonah The three Hawaiian Princes: (l-r) KãhiÇ Kalaniana#ole (b. 1871).

    Proceedings CFD for Surfboards: Comparison between Three Different Designs in Static and Maneuvering Conditions † Luca Oggiano 1,2,* and Fabio Pierella 2 1 NTNU—Norwegian University of Science and Technology - SIAT (Senter for Idrettsanlegg og Teknologi); K. Hejes vei 2b, 7042 Trondheim, Norway 2 Intitutt for Energiteknikk, Instituttveien 18a, 2007 Kjeller, Norway; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] † Presented at the 12th Conference of the International Sports Engineering Association, Brisbane, Queensland, Australia, 26–29 March 2018. Published: 14 February 2018 Abstract: The present paper aims to show the potential of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) solvers for surfboard design and its applicability by comparing three different surfboards with minimal changes in design. In fact, surfboard manufacturing routines are moving towards more controlled and reproducible manufacturing processes, in particular Computer numerically controlled (CNC) shaping techniques. As a consequence, three dimensional (3D) computer models of the boards start to be available, and can be imported in Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) programs. This opens up a new design methodology, where the performances of the different shapes can be studied and quantitatively evaluated, highlighting details that would be otherwise impossible to identify from a field test. The commercial CFD code STAR-CCM+ is used in the present work to compare the performance of three different surfboards, with different curvature at the bottom and different tail shapes. In the simulations, an Unsteady Reynolds Navier Stokes (URANS) approach is used, with the volume of fluid (VOF) method as free surface discretization method and the k-omega-SST turbulence model as numerical closure of the RANS equations.

It was tits purpose of this study to trace the historical development of East Coast Surfing la the United States from Its origin to the present day. The following questions are posed: (1) Why did nan begin surfing on the East coast? (2) Where aid man begin surfing on the East Coast? (3) What effect have regional surfing organizations had on the development of surfing on the East Coast? (I*) What sffest did modern scientific technology have on East Coast surfing? (5) What interrelationship existed between surfers and the counter culture on the East Coast? Available Information used In this research includes written material, personal Interviews with surfers and others connected with the sport and observations which this researcher has made as a surfer. The data were noted, organized and filed to support or reject the given questions. The investigator used logical inter- pretation in his analysis. The conclusions based on the given questions were as follows: (1) Man began surfing on the East Coast as a life saving technique and for personal pleasure. (2) Surfing originated on the East Coast in 1912 in Ocean City, New Jersey. (3) Regional surfing organizations have unified the surfing population and brought about improvements in surfing areas, con- tests and soaauaisation with the noa-surflng culture. U) Surfing has been aided by the aeientlfle developments la the surfboard and cold water suit.

  • Numerical Comparison Between a Modern Surfboard and an Alaia Board Using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD)
    Numerical Comparison between a Modern Surfboard and an Alaia Board using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) Luca Oggiano Norwegian University of Science and Technology – SIAT (Senter for Idrettsanlegg og Teknologi), K. Hejes Vei 2b 7042, Trondheim, Norway IFE -Institutt for Energiteknikk, Instituttveien 18a, 2007, Kjeller, Norway Keywords: Hydrodynamics, CFD, Surfboard Design. Abstract: Surfboard design is traditionally considered more as an art than an engineering process. However, in the past decade, the use of computers is becoming the standard in the shaping process. In the design part the use of computer-aid-design (CAD) software, has simplified the design process allowing shapers to save time and consistently modify or reproduce similar designs. At the same time, the improvement of computer- numerical-controlled (CNC) machines is slowly replacing the traditional hand shaping techniques with more controlled and reproducible manufacturing process. Another considerable advantage about having a 3D CAD model of the surfboard is that the model can be imported in Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) programs and its performances can be studied and evaluated highlighting details that would be otherwise impossible to identify from a field test. The present paper aims to show the potential of CFD solvers for surfboard design and its applicability by comparing a modern surfboard with a traditional ancient surfboard design (alaia). The performances of the modern surfboard are evaluated and compared with the alaia board, represented by an equivalent flat plate which is also used for validation. The commercial CFD code STAR- CCM+ is used in the present work. An Unsteady Reynolds Navier Stokes (URANS) approach is used, the volume of fluid (VOF) method is chosen as free surface discretization method and the turbulence model chosen to allow the numerical closure of the RANS equations is the k-ɷ-SST proposed by Menter.

In the contexts of globalization and decolonization, the monopoly of Western social scientists over the identification of native traditions has been a matter of debate for the last forty years. In Hawai‘i, anthropologists like Roger Keesing (1989), Jocelyn Linnekin (1983) and Marshall Sahlins (1981) were targeted as reinforcing colonization by claiming that some customs were indigenous and some were not (Friedman, 1992a: 197, 1992b: 852, 1993: 746-748, 2002: 217-2018; White and Tengan, 2001: 385 ; Trask, 1991: 163 ; 1993: 127-130).

    Volume 69 1960 > Volume 69, No. 4 > The development and diffusion of modern Hawaiian surfing, by Ben R. Finney, p 314‐331 ‐ i PLATE 1 PLATE 2 ‐ 315 THE DEVELOPMENT AND DIFFUSION OF MODERN HAWAIIAN SURFING By BEN R. FINNEY In this article, based on work which he undertook for the degree of M.A. at the University of Hawaii, Mr. Finney traces the decline and subsequent revival of surfing in modern Hawaii and discusses the diffusion of the sport to other countries in and bordering the Pacific. In the December 1959 issue of this Journal Mr. Finney published an account of surfing in ancient Hawaii. AFTER RECONSTRUCTING the salient features of some activity or institution of a culture long since modified or transformed by European influence, the subsequent history of that institution is often treated in terms of a somewhat melancholy narrative of decline and disappearance, or, at best, in terms of a “native survival” in the modern world. Continuing from a reconstruction of surfing as practised in Ancient Hawaii, 1 I hope to offer here not just a narrative of decline, or a description of survival, but an outline of the transformation of the traditional Hawaiian sport of he'e nalu into the equally vigorous and dynamic sport of modern surfing as known in Hawaii today. Furthermore, and by way of introduction, it might be added that while most studies involving acculturation have been largely concerned with the impact of influences from Western culture on non-European cultures, the European impact of surfing is only one dimension of the story presented here.

Anderson Professor of Philosophy James G. Thompson Professor of Kinesiology John Challis Graduate Program Director ... Department of Kinesiology Graduate Program Director *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School iii Abstract On August 24, 2002, the United States Postal Service issued a commemorative stamp in honor of the man whom Robert Rider, Chairman of the Postal Service Board of Governors, called “a hero in every sense of the word.”1 The stamp honored Duke Kahanamoku, a man regarded with the reverence bestowed upon a legendary figure in his home State of Hawai`i, yet relatively unknown on the United States mainland. Bishop Museum archivist Desoto Brown described Kahanamoku as “the most famous Hawaiian person who has ever been, in terms of him being 100 percent ethnically Hawaiian.”2 Known as the “Hawaiian fish,” Kahanamoku is indisputably one of the greatest heroes that the Hawaiian Islands have ever produced. Born in 1890 Duke Paoa Kahinu Makoe Hulikohoa Kahanamoku3 died in 1968. In his lifetime, Hawai’i moved from an independent monarchy to full statehood in the United States of America.
