You can read the complete text here, if you hit the pop-up, but one little quote from this monument to the Keumanu Heaiu, Kahalu'i, North Kona, Hawaii. "The Kuemanu Heaiu, said to have been used to pray for good surfing conditions, has been preserved by the county of Hawaii."
So it is, that this little corner of the world is one of the first ever to give birth to the phrase, "pray for surf."
Oh, dude!
