The Hawaiian first built his reputation as a swimming champion

Monday’s Google Doodle wants to wish a big happy birthday to Duke Kahanamoku, the father of surfing.
Known as the Ambassador of Aloha, Kahanamoku traveled the world, bringing surfing to the likes of California, Australia and New Zealand over his lifetime. Aug. 24 marks what would’ve been Kahanamoku’s 125th birthday — he passed away in 1968.....

A familiar face for you Hawaii travelers.....

Aloha!

Trying to remember if there's a statue of him on Waikiki beach. Learning more about him as I read this.
