Re: [Paddlewise] Kayak Surfing

I think the website says it best, if you just follow the statement to
its logical conclusion:  

"The Polynesians, who invented the surfboard, also used twinhull boats
(catamarans) for sailing and paddling."

So,it seems, those genius Polynesians did not use catamarans for
surfing.

Hype is hype. I can imagine the Polynesians saying "Those dugouts the
other islanders are paddling are useless . . . "
