DUKE KAHANAMOKU

Hawaiian icon and legendary Olympian Duke Kahanamoku was the ultimate waterman; at 21, using his revolutionary swim stroke, he won his first of five Olympic medals, three of them gold – hence the mural’s name “Golden Dreams.” Duke represented the U.S. in the Olympics for 20 years, putting Hawai‘i and Waikīkī on the world’s map while inspiring fans with his grace, sportsmanship and aloha.

Duke Kahanamoku is recognized world wide as the father of modern surfing.

It was Duke Kahanamoku’s dream to have surfing as an Olympic sport.

This piece is part of the exhibit “Golden Dreams” a surfboard installation created to honor and celebrate the first US surfing team to compete in the Olympics.
