While surfing has always been popular in Hawaii, it rose to national prominence in the late 1950’s with movies such as Gidget, Blue Hawaii, and Slippery When Wet. This poster for Matson Hotels features a surfer riding his board to the shoreline amongst the clear blue waves that Hawaii has to offer.
Matson began as a public shipping company founded in 1882. They are most commonly known for introducing mass tourism to Hawaii by opening many hotels in Waikiki Beach and Honolulu.
