Features the oldest surf footage ever found and several portraits of life in Hawaii in the early 20th century, including fishing activities, shipping cattle, loading sugar, panoramic city views, etc.

The film is part of the George Kleine Collection. SurferToday purchased a digitized copy from the United States Library of Congress (LOC).
