Duke's OceanFest is held each summer in Waikiki in honor of Hawaiian Duke Paoa Kahanamoku, who is fondly remembered today as an exemplary human being and the greatest waterman who ever lived.
The 9th annual Duke's OceanFest got underway at Kuhio Beach today, kicking off four days of competition that includes 10 ocean sport events and 900 athletes from around the Pacific
If you've ridden your fair share of waves, then you know Duke Kahanamoku's story: a full-blooded Hawaiian born on August 24, 1890, and raised in Waikiki, with a natural affinity for the ocean.
There's no better way to spend an afternoon on Oahu than renting longboards at Queens and posting up at Duke's Waikiki for a couple post-shred drinks...ask Taj Burrow.
