On page 15,
captioned
"Surf
Boating and Riding at Waikiki," there is one photograph
of canoe surfing,
one of several prone of boardridrers, and one of a lone
standing surfer.
The images are
accredited
to Rice and Perkins, the page design by Julian Greenwood.
The standing
surfer
photograph was later reprinted by several newspapers.
Both surfboard
riding
photographs were also reproduced as individual
hand-coloured postcards.
The two
sufboard
images with an alternate outrigger canoe photograph were
reproduced on
an (hand-coloured?) "undivided back" postcard (circa
1901-1907) with the
caption "Surf Riding at Waikiki,Honolulu."
