Growing up in Honolulu with the Pacific Ocean as his backyard, Duke
Kahanamoku learned to swim and surf at a young age. By his early
twenties, Duke's lightning-fast swimming won him a place on the
1912 United States Olympic team and a gold medal in the 100-meter
freestyle race. Over the years Duke struggled with racism and
financial troubles, but by the end of his twenty-year Olympic
career, he was a six-time medal winner. Although a swimming
champion, Duke's passion was surfing. He traveled the world,
introducing surfboarding to Australia and the east and west coasts
of the United States. Considered the father of modern surfing, Duke
spread his love of the ocean and Hawai i wherever he went.

sportsmanship, and amazing skill in the water. Today he remains a
legendary waterman and an inspiration to all to live life with
