The
history
of
surfing

It
is
generally believed that the ancient
Polynesians were
the
first to
surf
and
to
introduce surfing to the Hawaiian
islands
in
the central Pacific
Ocean.
In
fact, early
records
show that surfing was at its height
in
the late eighteenth
century.
During
the next century the sport declined, but
by the
beginning of the
twentieth
century its
popularity
had
increased again and
it
gradually
became an
established
water
sDort.
In
the
second
half
of the
twentieth
century
ouq
&aLln
particular
was responsible
for
fresh
enthusiasm
in
the
sport.
He
was
a
Californian
surfer called
Jack
O'Neill
who was determined to create
a
suit
that
would
keep
people warm
in
the waters
of
northern
California,
and at
the
same
time would
allow comolete freedom
of
movement.

the besl surf
in
the
world
but the beaches
are
among
the most dangerous,
partly
becalrse they
are
overcrowded.
During
October each
year
there are huge
swells
in
which the waves can be almost
twenty
metres
high. These waves then move
to
the southern
hemisphere
in April.
He
experimented
with
various materials
without
much
success
until,
during
a
plane
journey in
1952,
he came
across
a
substance called neoprene. Using this material
he created
a
wetsuit made
of
rubber which kept
surfers
warm
and made surfing
a
year-round
activity
in
climates
which
would
otherwise be
too
cold
for part
of the year.

If
a
surfer gets
sucked
into
the centre
of
one
of
these
waves
and then
flung
onto the
shore
as
the
wave breaks,
the force
can

And if
the weight
of
the water
does
not
make them unconscious, then the
wave can drag them under water long enough
fbr
them
to drown.
Over
the
years wetsuits have been used
for
everything
from
deep-sea
diving to board
sports
which
take place
on land,
like
skateboarding.
In
1988
O'Neill's original
wetsuits were
used
for
the
first
ever
lnowboarding world
cup event, reflecting
O'Neill's belief that
snow is

Hungry
pop

Valerie Jones runs
a company called
Peanuts whose
job it
is
to
look after
pop
stars
and pop
groups
when
they
go
on
tour.
She
rs
the
person
who feeds the
stars
and
she's
been doing
it
for
the
past
ten
vears.
When the
stars
are playing
at
a
festival
Valerie may have
to
cook
for
up
to
a
thousand
people
which includes
all
the
crew and the
people
who
work
backstage.
She
erects
a
marquee
-
a huge
tent
-
and
the food
is
served
buffet
style
from
a
central
serving area.
She
has
to
cater
for
ditferent
tastes, so
there
are
normally
four
or
more
choices
of
menu.
She also has

stage
with
them
when
they're
singing.
Years
ago bands used to
drink
quite
a
lot of
alcohol, but these
days
they're
much
healthier. Most
bands
drink
fresh
fruit
juice
and
prefer
to
eat
salads.
A
lot
of
people
in
the bands are
quite
young
and they're
not
used
to
ver-y
expensive
food,
so
Valerie
prepares
plain
food
unless
a
band
sends
her
a'rider'.
This
is
a
list
of
special requirements.
When
people
are
tired, unwell or
homesick
they
like to
have
familiar 'comfort'
food
so
she
keeps
a
stock
of
people's
requirements
just
in
case.
As
a
result
of all
this,
Valerie
says
she
has
become an expert
shopper
and
in
less
than an
hour in
a suoermarket
she can spend f1000.
She
drives an
enormous
truck
full
of
kitchen equipment
and
hires at
least
three
walk-in refrigerators, a
dishwashing
unit
and
portable
cabins
which
act
as
storerooms and office.
All
the
bands
have
to
queue
up to
be
served and everyone has
to
have a meal
ticket. The
stars
are usually more relaxed
when
they are
eating
as
no
one
is
bothering them
for
autographs, although
Valerie
says
that
sometimes
the
security
men and
the
stars'
managers
are
more
trouble
than the
stars themselves.
A
lot
of
bands
won't
eat before a
concert
because
they're
too
nervous, so Valerie
and
her
staff can end up working
very long
hours as they have
to
be
around
to
provide
what people want at
two or
three
in
the

Valerie

how

The
Model United Nations
programme,
which
is
a
role-play
exercise,
was
first
developed in the
US
where it forms part of
the
curriculum
in
hundreds
of
schools.
As many as

to
18,
attend
from
schools
all over
England
and Northern lreland,

The
important

the
teachers,

decide
which
subjects
students
will
discuss.

MUN starts
on a
Friday
evening and
lasts
until
Sunday
evening. Before arriving all
the
students are
given
a
country
to
represent
and
are expected
to
prepare
for the
discussion
in

It
is
then up to the
students
to
discuss
their
views
with
the other
members
of
their
committee
to win support
for their
argument,
before they
reach a decision
by
voting on
a
particular topic.
