Introduction.
Although a very
brief description, it does indicate the drop-knee stance and that surfriding
at Waikiki was still probably common in the 1850s.
From Punch Bowl Hill, there is a charming view of
the city and bay which lie in green, and white, and gold, at its foot.
At Cocoanut
Grove, you may have a gallop on the beach, and see the surf-bathers, who,
kneeling on one knee upon a long pointed board, will ride back and forth
upon the surf, hours at a time, for your amusement.
