10th anniversary Duke's OceanFest (a weeklong event), honoring legendary Hawaiian waterman Duke Kahanamoku, in true Waikiki Beachboy style! He is perhaps the most remembered and respected Hawaiian surfer, a master of canoeing and a champion Olympic swimmer – a true waterman. Duke helped the surf sport reach unbelievable popularity, not only in Hawaii, but around the world. That’s why he is also called “the father of international surfing.”
