A growing regional consciousness helped to ensure that local sports were not completely rejected, but even by the 1930s the sporting interests of many Cumbrians were being absorbed into the northern and national pattern of sport, especially in the larger towns.
Although the appeal of `traditional' sports is often their apparent unchanging continuity in a rapidly changing world, in reality it is inevitable that presentation has to be modified to respond to the changing social, economic, and cultural expectations of the audience.
Those sports, such as coursing, wrestling, or hunting, which can be seen as `traditional' survivals have received less critical attention, although historians of leisure and sport are now increasingly aware of the adaptability of so-called `traditional' sports, and the way in which so many of their apparent traditions are of comparatively recent origin.

 SI.com - More Sports - Peruvian surfer turns attention to her homeland - Tuesday March 8, 2005 1:27PM
Though British explorer Captain James Cook and his crew stumbled across surfing in Hawaii in the 1770s, some experts believe the pastime originated in Peru, not Polynesia.
Waikiki beach boy Duke Kahanamoku helped revive Hawaii's traditional sport of kings that had been banned by European missionaries as "immoral" and introduced surfing to California and Australia.
Eduardo Arena, a Peruvian who was the first president of the International Surfing Federation, noted that Peru had the first official world champion in Felipe Pomar in 1965 and helped write the rules of the sport that still apply today.

 Oh, thank Guinness for the perfect pour
I don't know whether the Irish saved civilization (as a 1996 bestseller proclaimed), but the world does owe them thanks for at least one thing: Guinness Stout.
First brewed in the 1770s, Guinness was the original "stout porter," a coal-fl, sumptuously creamy ale with a complex roasted-coffee bite.
However, first doesn't necessarily mean best - or at least that's what I decided after drinking pint after pint of Guinness that simply didn't taste very good.
