Surfing is thought to be over thousands of years old but was not discovered until 1778 by James Cook. At the time only Hawaiian royalty had the privilege of surfing the big waves while commoners only rode smaller ones. Soon after, missionaries came in contact with the islands and condemned surfing as a sinful and wasteful habit, leaving the Hawaiian culture almost in pieces for 150 years. Then in the late 1800’s, King Kalakaua brought surfing back to life as a great cultural event and in 1905, Duke Kahanamoku began to make surfing a fun sport for all countries around the world to enjoy.

We’ve tried other puzzles, and they just are not as good and fun as Dowdle,
As usual, I am always delighted with the detail and vivid colors Eric’s puzzles have. Thank you for your continued brilliance in your work!
I think this was the easiest puzzle we've ever done (and we've done over 100 Dowdle puzzles). Each person and surfboard were very different from the others so it was easy to tell which pieces went where. We also liked the theme as it reminded us of our youth! Loved this puzzle!
