Duke’s Day is a celebration of the evolution of surfing.
Created to honour and celebrate an international icon, Duke Kahanamoku.
A legendary man who shared his love of one of surfing with Australia.
Bringing together surfers across the world, Duke's Day is much more than getting as many waves as you can.
Rather, it is about the impact Duke had then and retains now within the soul of surfing.
It’s a chance for us to find out a little more about the Aloha spirit that Hawaiians live by including ways to honour and live respectfully, and in harmony with our coastal environment.
