A quick look at the
History of Women & Surf up to 1975
As more and more women take up surfing nowadays but still remain the
minority, there are times when we find ourselves the only female in the
water amongst the guys (especially during winter). It is then that we
should cast our minds back to those women who were there long before
us - and before the guys too.
So when did women start taking their place in the line up? You could be
forgiven for thinking that it was maybe sometime around the 1960/70's.
When the whole surfing thing really seemed to take off. In fact women
have been surfing for thousands of years.
I hope to bring in some of the major highlights of how we got to where
we are today. There are many who will not got a mention, that have
earned their place in the role of honours for their contribution to women
and surf, I do not dismiss them through disrespect but merely because
I could end up writing a whole book on it.
Pre 1900's
The earliest female surfers were Polynesian, from around Hawaii where
it was common place for as many women as men to be in the water.
There were surfing goddesses such as "Mamala" and a tradition that if a
man and woman were to ride the same wave then customs permitted
them certain "intimacies".
Early pictures of the time depicted women on their boards on the crest
of waves.
One of the oldest known surfboards (papa he'e nalu) to be discovered
at Ho'okena is believed to have belonged to Princess Kaneamona who
lived in the first half of the 1600's.
These early women surfers grew up with the great waves of Hawaii,
they were not afraid, it was a part of their traditions, their customs.
However, as with all great traditions of the past go, they fade as new
ideas provided by new "people" are introduced. With the introduction of
Christianity, and the decline of pure Hawaiian natives, the people turned
their backs on surfing, forgot their traditions and their skills.
1900's
By the beginning of the 1900's surfing had just about died out except
for a handful of surfers around Hawaii who were mainly men, with the
exception of Princess Kalulaini, an expert surfer around 1895-1900.
The handful of surfers included a then young Duke Kahanamoku (The
Duke - Father of Modern Surfing), who was "one of the solid believers in
this surfing bit" as he put it. This led to the formation of the Waikiki Surf
club, later to be renamed the Hui Nalu (hui = gathering, nalu = surf)
Surf club. Two of its memebers were excellent women surfers -
Mildred "Ladybird" Turner and Josephine "Jo" Pratt.
Surfing was to start to make a steady come back, with the Duke
promoting surfing wherever he went.
1914
Now here the most interesting fact i have found so far - the first
Australian to surf was NOT a man but a woman - Isabel Letham. Isabel
was already an accomplished swimmer and bodyboarder. And she was
to be the first to ride a board, in tandem fashion with the Duke who was
in Freshwater, Australia, promoting surfing whilst entering swimming
contests. The session consisted of 4 rides by which time Isabel
becoame hooked. Isabel went on to earn herself a place in the
Australian Surfing Hall of Fame for her contributions to the
encouragement of women into surfing.
1917
The cover of one of the very first Australian surfing magazines to be
published -" The Surf, Sydney 1917" featured a woman.
1920
In California women had been surfing since the 1920's, often tandem
style with their boyfriends, after having watched them on the beach,
they decided to join in, remembering the boards were big back then!
1930 & 40
A noted Californian female surfer was Mary Ann Hawkins acclaimed to
be one of the greatest female surfers of the first half of this century,
she displayed a graceful form of surfing as well as being an excellent all
rounder - big wave rider, swimmer & bodysurfer. During the late 1930's
and throughout the 1940's she achieved many competitive wins, later
becoming a Hollywood movie stunt double before settling in Hawaii.
Closer to home a Great Western Railway poster of 1937 advertising
Newquay, Cornwall depicted women wave-riding, on boards that were
more akin to today bodyboards. Surfing was not to arrive for another
23 years!
1950's
1959 saw the advent of the Gidget movies based on the 1957 novel of
the same name. The whole Gidget phenomenon was based on author
Frederick Kohner's daughter "Kathy Kohner" who wanted to be a surfer -
a chance meeting with Terry Tracey led to her joining up with the Malibu
crew where she gained the nickname of Gidget, derived from Girl
Midget as Terry had referred to her on their first meet. This Hollywood
movie was to earmark the popularity of surfing, especially amongst
women.
1960's
The 1960's saw an increase in the numbers of talented female surfers,
such as World Champion Joyce Hoffman who was a well respected
female surfer and maintained her title 2 years running until in 1968 she
was beaten by Margo Godfrey.
Margo was a new breed of female surfer, her style of surfing was more
akin to that of the hot shots kids, earning her the reference of "the girl
that surfed like a guy". As well as being top of the Western Surfing
Association, she also went on to win the Puerto Rican world contest.
By the late 1960's, an anti-contest move had set in, and this was to last
until 1975.
1975
Saw the re-introduction of pro-contests, and the return of Margo who
became the first "Pro Woman Surfer". A decade after her first win in
1968 saw her top the overall Surfer mag poll - quite an achievement!
This showed her domination of the "sport" reportedly unequalled by any
man - a real World Champion.
------------------------------------------------------------ ------
Women & Competitions Whilst there have been many other women
whom I have not mentioned here who attained many successes it must
be remembered that women were originally introduced into professional
surfing meets to help attract a wider audience. If this hadn't been the
case and women had held an equal standing then there may have been
a greater number of talented female surfers.
