Only one or two ideas and phrases
·Se tiene constancia de la presencia del surf desde hace más de 500 años
en las islas de Polinesia. El explorador inglés James Cook llegó a las islas
Hawái en 1778.
·Por otro lado en el norte del Perú, las culturas locales dejaron trazas que
muestran a hombres remontando olas. Esto indicaría que todo comenzó en
América del Sur, pero fueron los Polinesios en sus constantes travesías
entre islas los que, algunos siglos más tarde, llevaron la costumbre de
deslizar olas hasta lugares como Hawái.
·Con el contacto, las culturas autóctonas fueron reprimidas y el surf pasó
a perder auge. James Cook fue luego asesinado por los nativos. En el Siglo
XX el surf se recuperó y con la afluencia de turistas y militares
estadounidenses en Hawái y la fama del hawaiano olímpico Duke
Kahanamoku, el surf empezó a hacerse popular en las costas de California
y Australia, creando el germen de una subcultura en los ambientes en que
se practicaba extendiéndose luego a otros países.

schools, high schools and universities.
