The ancient Hawaiian people were surfing enthusiasts who integrated the activity into their culture and made it more of an art. They referred to surfing as heʻe nalu, which translates into English as “wave sliding.” The Hawaiians believed that surfing was a mystical experience and that the ocean had powerful gods. Before entering the ocean, they would pray to the gods for protection and strength. If the ocean was tame, frustrated surfers would call upon the kahuna (priest), who would aid them in a surfing prayer asking the gods to deliver great surf. Surfing was more than just a recreational activity for the Hawaiian people; it was a way to connect with the gods and nature.
