  • 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.
