Review
In a book review, titled  "The Sandwich Islands Today," extracts from Rev. Henry T. Cheever's
Life in the Sandwich Islands (1851) included the book's surf riding text and illustration, pages 298-299.
It was the first time a surfing illustration was published in a magazine.
The surf riding passages are preceded by:

"The work abounds with interesting details of Island Life, and we regret that our limitations will not let us enrich the International with more liberal extracts.
We can at present add but the following patragraphs on a sport for which the islanders have been celebrated since the days of Cook:"

Alexander Hume Ford was an enthusiastic promoter of surfriding and is best known as the instigator of the Outrigger Canoe Club at Waikiki in 1908, probably on his return from Australia.
The object of the club was to revive the canoe and board surfriding as practised in ancient Hawaii.
He wrote more than half a dozen articles on surfriding between 1908 and 1926, mostly published in Hawaiian, but some mainland US, magazines.

Caption:
"RIDING THE SURF AT HONOLULU, HAWAII
Walking a tightrope stretched on top a speeding express train might afford some exhilaration of Hawaii's distinctive sport.
Here, again, geography molded the national pastime; for the conformation of the ocean bed along the island coast creates the swells that make this sport popular.
The picture illustrates only one position of the native rider, who lies prone, sits, and even stands on his head on his super-canoe."

Outboard Motor Drives Novel Surfboard
Skimming over the water at high speed, a recently patented surfboard is powered by an outboard motor to bring the thrills of wave riding to inland waters.
The motor is carried in a buoyant prow at the front of the thin surfboard, and pulls it forward, instead of pushing.
Steering is accomplished by means of a foot-operated rudder at the stern, while a pontoon at each side prevents accidental upsets.
The buoyant power unit can be removed from the surf-board and used to drive any small boat or canoe, as shown in the lower drawing.

Vogue
December 15, 1938.
June 1939.
Posting the cover of the December 1938 edition
on the Surf Blurb, March 2019, DeSoto Brown noted:
“Vogue” women’s fashion magazine is still being published today, although its influence is much diminished from what it had achieved in the 20th century.
Editorially it was aimed at wealthy women, although many of its readers were probably far less rich and influential than the people it publicized.

This cover has been reproduced in a number of surfing history books since the 1970s.
Including Matt Warshaw's definitive History of Surfing (2010) and
A Brief History of Surfing (2017).
Initially published in December 1938, the cover was used again for the following year's summer edition of Vogue in June, 1939.
Interestingly, it has no connection to any of the contents of this particular issue; a Hawaii story did, however, appear in a subsequent issue.
In this era, magazine cover illustrations or photographs often did not reflect their contents; see examples above including
Judge (1923), Physical Culture (1925) and The New Yorker (1933).

The photographer, Toni Frissell, was a woman, one of the first photographers to move outside of the studio for fashion photography, setting a trend in the field.
The US Library of Congress holds
a collection of her photos of approximately 340,000 images including the outstanding Lady in the Water or Weeki Wachee Springs, shot in Florida in 1947.
According to Pleasurephoto (wordpress, 2012) the surfing photograph has been flopped (mirrored) and slightly cropped for the magazine cover.

To get this shot it was necessary to actually build a temporary framework structure in the shallow water at Waikiki to be able to look down on surfers on passing waves.
Before the introduction of telephoto lenses, the most dramatic images at Waikiki were shot from a canoe, or occasionally from the end of the Moana Pier, one of several structures erected on the beach-front in the early 1900s.
For the Outrigger Canoe Club's second Clark Cup contest at Waikiki in February 1910 a 24ft steel structure was ferried out to the reef on the largest available canoe steered by Kenneth Brown and deposited "in the midst of the big breakers."
In addition to the large platform on the reef erected for
M. Bonvillain's camera (Pathe Freres, Paris), a small one was to be placed in front of the Moana Hotel.
A similar structure appears in the image of Moana Pier noted above, half way between the canoe and the end of the pier.

The two boards shown in this picture appear to be hollow, judging by their thickness as seen from the side.
Even so, they would’ve been much larger and heavier than most anything in use today.
These are possibly hollow boards but likely
pine, balsa and redwood laminated boards, which were occasionally chambered, that were popular in the late 1930s.
In California, for a brief time, they were, infamously, branded with a swastika.
Similar boards appear at Waikiki in the footage below at 3:16.

Re the mis-titled photograph, Brian Martinet ( reports...
The photo is actually of my uncle Jim Bailey and his dog Rusty. 
It was a misprint in National Geographic. 
Jim Bailey was a legendary longboarder and friend of Doc Ball et. al. 
He was a life guard at Hermosa Beach California. 
I have another photo of him with his dog on the front of his board if you would like a copy.  My aunt, his wife, is still alive in Hemet California, but alas, Doc passed away last year.

According the the author, the demand for lighter boards mostly by women surfers, saw Greg McDonald develop the Coolite blank, replacing balsa wood, and weighing as little as 16 lb.

Ray Young builds an average of three boards a week in his workroom.
He could build more but each board he shapes and moulds with a craftsman's care.
And he has enough orders to keep him going for weeks.

A pattern of islands / Arthur Grimble Grimble, Arthur Francis Sir, 1888-1956

http://trove.nla.gov.au/work/6759303
"A Pattern of Islands" is the funny, charming and self-deprecating adventure story of a young man in the Pacific. Beyond the hilarious and frightening adventure stories, "A Pattern of Islands" is also a true testament to the life of these Pacific islanders. Grimble collected stories from the last generation who could remember the full glory of the old pagan ways. Like discovering a treasure chest of fables, which were once true, it is full of stories of magic, dances and legends, rituals, spells and a way of life that have now disappeared from this world except within the covers of this book.
