HAWAI - SURFING
Director(s): Nicolas GLIMOIS
True enough, there are huge waves in Hawai. But the same
can be said about Australia, California, Argentina, Mexico or
many other places. So why is that surf found its origins off the
coast of Honolulu? It goes back to the Polynesians of Maui
who practised an initiation rite on the towering waves of the
equinox. Those who successfully passed the test were the
kings of the dsicipline. Non-Polynesians attended the
ceremony and, ever since, Hawai has become the home of
surf.
