(The Samoa Islands
- Draft monograph with special reference to German-Samoa.)
However, it does
include one photograph of surf riding in Samoa on page 401:
No. 43 Das Wellenengleitspiel
(Fa'ase'e).
The German roughly
translates as "wave play", the term in parentheses presumsably the Samoa
name.
The image shows
a large number of participants, some of whom have short body boards.

"The second volume
begins with an overview of European voyages to Samoa and the scientific
work undertaken as part of those voyages. This is followed by a 80-page
chapter on Samoan anthropology and sociology. The largest part however
is given to a study of all aspects of Samoan life, including medicine,
gardening and cooking, fishing, the trades of the men (incl. carving and
house building), ornaments and clothing (incl. 15 pages on tapa cloth),
games, dance, music and warfare. This followed by two chapters on fauna
and flora and a 6-page bibliography.''
