DescriptionIntro, by Duke Kahanamoku: "For many years it has been a desire of mine to see the people of other nations derive pleasure and benefit from the Hawaiian surfboard. That time seems to have come with the development of the Hollow Surfboard, and all the world seeking something new. Yet this new sport Hawaii has given them, reaches back into the dim age of legends, when our kings and chiefs found surfriding their favorite pastime. And as surfriding has endured in Hawaii through wars, plagues and famine, it bids fair to last forever. It is my dream to some day tour other countries and personally acquaint the people with the uses of the surfboard, for as an aid in life saving and the physical development of growing boys and girls, it commands respect the world over."On View
