My Uncle was a Beach Boy with the Outrigger canoe Club a rival club. My Uncle competed along side the 'Duke' his name was 'Johnny Hollinger' also my goddfather. My Auntie Lucille told me stories about the old days, and how my Uncle's life was. I wanted to be so much like him. What a great life!

good footage, and first time I heard surfing dissappeared because of the missionaries, wow. I'm not at all impressed by the story, it is told by a anglo-american view point. This perpective of Hawaii's population before "discovery" and absolution into the US is terrible. The real history is always mistaken here, but is actually really amazing. Look it up people.

Kool surf inventors bro!

Duke Kahanamoku was one of the father's of modern surfing, not the father of it. Seeing as George Freeth (Not very well known, from what I've seen) was the first to actually internationalize it, ETC. I am not saying, however, that Duke wasn't a great surfer and swimming athlete because he was.

Nicely done. I can "see" the hero of my novel, TEETH, in these excellent pictures. He was a surfer in 1941, before the Japanese attack on Pearl, and he ends up a sniper on the savage South Pacific Island of New Guinea.

Oh yes - the title? "TEETH" refers to the 4,000 lb, 30 foot crocodile our surfer-hero Johnny must confront and survive, along the Big River through New Guinea's "heart of darkness," cannibal and headhunter country.

I hope to post this video on the website! Great!

Thanks for posting this video....My grandfather was one of "the boys" in the late 1920's and '30's, who surfed along side the Duke. He was part of the beach patrol as well. He was there during the years of Bing Crosby and Shirley Temple, for I have pictures of him with these famous people. But my most valued pictures are of him with the Duke and the rest of the boys. These are my treasures, and I am proud to say I am a Hawaiian.

My granny, who lived in Hawaii from when she was born in 1903 to 1945, used to talk about the beach boys and how they'd carry her board to the water (she was a 5 foot tall Portuguese lady!) for the standard price of 5 cents so she could surf. Honolulu was a small place then and she'd see Duke at the beach often.

BIG BOARDS WILL NEVER DIE!!! No matter how fast the short boards shred, there is NOTHING more graceful than a good big board rider...

great film. thanks brian. i was lucky enough to have lived and surfed hawaii and been welcomed into that community and shown the ways of aloha, although a lot has changed now, about 10 years ago we still had little parties on Waikiki Beach at our stand with Koko, Dukie, Jama, Nohea, and Willy the Tahitian,Billy Kahamoku and many many others. :)

Terrific Video. I'm doing some family research on my great grandfather (Edward "Dude" Miller). What a lifestyle they lead.
