Surfing has been a way of life for thousands of years among Pacific Islanders and began to be recognized by international sporting agencies in the early 1900s as a legitimate sport. Surfing's mainstream popularity peaked in the United States in the early 1960s, with music, movies, and television programs dedicated to this lifestyle. It is still a popular sport at any beach where there are plenty of waves, and Portugal has recently bloomed into a surfers’ paradise thanks to many well-known names that have ridden the enormous waves.
