Surfing Gear

Surfing in the U.S. dates back to 1885 when three princes from Hawaii came to school on the mainland. An extensive history is available on the "history of surfing" page. Surfshops.us describes the various types of surfboards there are and also discusses wetsuits and other kinds of surfing clothing and equipment. There is a page that explains surfing lingo, as well as links to surfboard manufacturers and local surf shops.
