A prone surf rider on a fairly long board in the 
shore break of Waikiki.

This is possibly the same surfer and board in the 
photograph above; note that the location, determined 
by the camera's perspective, is nearly identical.

This photograph, along with two illustrations, accompanied
Hawaiian Surf-riding, an  the article published in

Thrum, Thomas G. (editor) : 
Thrum 's Hawaiian Annual of 1986.
Honolulu, 1896.

One of several similar board portaits from the period, Tim DeLaVega accredits this to Frank Davey, one of several known to be taken of Charles Kauha with his surfboard at Waikiki in April 1898.

The traditional malo was possibly a prop to enhance authenticity.

Three important early surf riding photographs illustrating canoe surfing
and board riding.

Both surfboard riding photographs were later produced as 
hand-tinted postcards, see below.

The standing surfer image was widely reproduced in 
the world press, including Western Australia's
Kalgoorlie Western Argus, Tuesday 15 June 1909, page 23.

The  photographs are displayed individually, below.

Later reproduced in the Outrigger Canoe 
Club program for the Clake Cup Contests
in 1910.

Later produced as a hand-tinted postcard, 
see below, and widely printed in the 
world press during 1908.

Later produced as a hand-tinted postcard.

In 1906, an almost identical image

As accredited when published in
The Hawaiian Gazette.
Honolulu, June 28, 1907, page 6.

The photograph accompanies an article by Ford extolling the surfing skills 
and, the occasionally questionable, exploits of George Freeth.
The photograph is captioned "Photo copyrighted by Alexander H. Ford," 
and the text reports Ford's difficulty in securing the shot.

However,  in Surfing Hawaii (2011) page 48, Tim DeLaVega 
accredits the photograph to Edward P. Urwin in 1908. 

It is also likely that the surfrider is not Freeth.

Published in
Ford, Alexander Hume: A Boy's Paradise in the Pacific.

This article featured several surf riding photographs,
including the photograph shown above.
However in this instance it  merely captioned 
Coasting Down a Wave, and does not identify Freeth.

This article also contained one photograph of canoe surf riding 
and the board portrait of Waikiki juveniles, shown left.
