Five-time Olympic medalist and native Hawaiian Duke Paoa Kahanamoku shattered records and brought surfing to the world while overcoming a lifetime of personal challenges. From modest roots in Waikiki, Duke swam his way to fame, becoming the face of a changing Hawaii and the undisputed father of modern-day surfing. Beyond his legacy as a legendary waterman, Duke was also a racial pioneer, breaking down societal barriers and combating prejudice through sport.
