~ Connecting Culture ~ Surfing ~ Environment ~
A day of celebration. We come together at Freshwater Beach in the spirit of a remarkable global ambassador to share our love of the ocean.
Duke Kahanamoku was an Olympic swimming gold medallist, Hawaiian icon, Ambassador of Aloha, Waterman, and the father of modern surfing. Australia warmly embraced Duke in the summer of 1914-1915 as he popularised the art of surfing with historic exhibitions. Freshwater Beach was at the heart of this tour and holds special connections to both Duke's swimming and surfing legacy.
Founded in 2010, Duke's Day is an annual event to celebrate the culture of surfing Duke inspired, the Aloha spirit he instilled, and share the love he had for the ocean environment.
