A surfer makes his way down to the beach at Seignosse, South of France. Tandem surfing is a hybrid of surfing and acrobatics. It originated in the 1930s in Hawaii when the Waikiki Beach boys would take female tourists for rides on their boards. The sport was most popular in the 50s and 60s. It is, however, currently enjoying a renaissance after several decades in the doldrums thanks mainly to the work of Rico Leroy who set up The International Tandem Surfing Association or ITSA.
