H., Aug. 9.—Aero- surfing, Hawaii's newest and most ex- citing sport, was inaugurated here in the ocean off the army air station at the Pearl Harbor navy yard by lead- ing exponents of surfing and aviators in army flying boats. The new sport is a combination of surf-boarding and aviation. The boards were towed by the airplanes, the riders standing on the boards and clinging to a single strand of rope while the planes charged through the water at a speed of 45 miles an hour. Many upsets marked the experi- ment, most of the spills occurring after the flying boat had attained its !fullest speed and when clouds of spray raised by the boats blinded the rid- ers on the board.
