Introduction.
William Atherton Du Py was Executive Assistant to the Secretary of the US Department of the Interior.
The book canvases elements of the racial problems in Hawaii along with general overview of the islands illustrated with numerous photographs.
Although the text has the barest mention of surf-riding, there are three relevant photographs.

The islands, which change only some 25 degrees between summer and winter extremes, offer relief from the heat of the continent in the one season and from the cold of its winter in the other.

The possibilities this situation offers in such matters as sports is obvious.
Bathing and those frolics in the water that revolve about surfboards and outrigger canoes present themselves every day in the year.
