Today’s luau’s may be much shorter in length, but are just as lavish and fun as old days. Hawaii has many luaus so you’re bound to catch at least one, or maybe two.

So, throw on your comfy Hawaiian clothes and get ready to eat, drink, and mix with a variety of happy people at next luau – Aloha style.

When early Europeans sailed to Hawaii, they had difficulty understanding what this water sport was all about. Riding huge waves on thin boards seemed strange to them.

Surfing eventually died out as Hawaii became a U.S. colony. However, a few passionate “beachboys” refused to give up their birthright.

In 20th century, surfing experienced a re-birth as adventure-seeking Americans began to catch on to this exhilarating sport. Now surfing is more popular than ever, and even has it’s own surf culture.

Modern surfers have simply discovered what ancient Hawaiians knew all along – how good it feels to catch a big wave.
