I took the picture a couple of weeks ago at Eleanor Shipley Memorial Park. People were enjoying the surf at Moffat Beach, QLD. People were just enjoying themselves in the outdoors. It is interesting that ancient Pacific cultures often surfed on their belly and knees, while the modern-day definition of surfing refers to a surfer riding a wave standing on a surfboard, as in this week’s picture. Modern surfing as we know it today is thought to have originated in Hawaii. It seems the history of surfing dates to c. AD 400 in Polynesia, where Polynesians began to make their way to the Hawaiian Islands from Tahiti and the Marquesas Islands.
