Surfing in a canoe. In Waikiki Hawaii we used outriggers for stability and the waves were smaller than the North Shore, so more manageable for stability.
Mostly it was a touristy thing the hotels did to attract more people to the shores where shops were set up to sell souvenirs to tourists.
Waikiki offered a lot to keep the tourist trade thriving as that along with the military, construction and some farms were the main means of income for the islands.
