For centuries, surfing as been a part of Polynesian and Hawaiian culture - but was never really known or popular outside the islands. It was people like Duke Kahanamoku that made it famous the world over. An olympic swimmer and natural legend, Duke traveled the world, introducing the sport to the masses.
