My Tutu used to tell of how she dated your great grandpa Duke Kahanamoku later in life, in the late 1950’s. She said he would pick her up in a big fancy car and they would go out to eat together.

agree.

The Father of Modern Surfing.* Surfing existed before Duke was born, but he was far beyond essential in spreading it and the aloha spirit everywhere. Every surfer from Hawaii to USA to Australia to Europe wouldn’t really be doing what they do if it wasn’t for him. His legacy is so massive that Diamond Head itself is dwarfed by his shadow.

No doubt about that. We often say we only have two idols: Winston Churchill and Duke Kahanamoku. 😉

Duke was ..he loved...he was always first in the lineup

Duke is an AMAZING man. The Father of Surfing.

Imagine seeing Johnny & Duke on your beach as lifeguards...

Ralph Edwards is just a goddamned professional. Flawless.

"Don't talk about it, keep it in your heart."

So very handsome was The Duke.

Duke was da man and I love him and his Aloha spirit and he had another surfing and swimming friend, George Freeth, who was lost to the Pandemic of 1919 and his story has faded into time. George Freeth was son of Irish sea captain and part Hawaiian and it was his skin color that allowed him surf when the church had forbidden the Hawaiians to do so. He was able to get Duke in and surfing restarted. George Freeth invented Lifegaurds, the Life Ring and saved countless. It was undoubteddly his willingness to sacrifice and give that expose him to the virus and took one of the srtongest men on the planet at 35. A century later, 2020, we have a another pandemic and have lost another George. George Floyd, not from the pandemic but from a system that is broken. THE LIFE RING is a symbol of hope and in this time all of us need that. S.O.S. Sacrifice and giving for the greater good is what all lifegaurds do. Do your part and "Save Our Souls" with a little sacrifice and willingness to look at life from a different perspective. A new base or bottom with a higher standard needs to be established for the people and the system to have liberty and freedom. Aloha

Legend!

He is the man!

Duke 🤙❤

Duke is literately taller than Ralph Edwards sitting down 😂

What the This is Your Life show did to Frances Farmer by humiliating her talking about her in such demeaning and heartless ways right to her face on national TV was appalling.

Johnny Weissmiller makes an appearance here.

In the 1910s Duke travelled the world extensively, and popularised surfing exhibiting his skills in places as far as Australia and New Zealand. No doubt surfing is an ancient Polynesian craft but Duke is the father of modern day surfing.
