You can’t share waves as much because people are turning into the waves so they can cut people off back that it looks like they rode straight into the shore more often.
Nobody mentioned how Duke was resting his smiling face right next to that beautiful girl's bikinied derriere. I just thought I'd mention it because... well, ya know... I liked that part
Actually this isn't a paddleboard the Duke is riding. Well it is but it's an Australian surf ski (or an early version of it) that was brought to him as a gift. These early versions had a flat top rather than a cockpit so the riders stood on them rather than sit like modern surf skis. Notice he's using a double bladed paddle that's tethered to the craft. Also a lot of people erroneously think Duke is the first to ride this craft standing and it's just not true. You can do a Google search and you will find out this was a common activity in Australia (standing on a surf ski). Also this is really not the catalyst that started modern day SUP as a lot of people seem to think. No disrespect to the Duke at all but he is not the inventor of what we now call SUP. Him doing this may have inspired others to grab a single blade paddle on a surf board like John Zapatocky, but this really is a different activity. Modern day SUP is a whole separate entity which would may or may not still exist whether or not anyone stood on this type of craft using a double blade paddle.
***** Thanks for the insight, very interesting! Stand up paddling as we know it today imho took shape from people like John Zapotocky, Duke and others that were experimenting as we see in the footage. When I was a boy ( in the 90' ) I flat paddled most of summer days sat on a old Bic windsurf board and a kayak paddle...the board was so big and stable (almost 4mt) to take a couple of friends and sometimes I remember to stand up and trying to paddle just for fun! I could not properly call sup but still I instinctively was experimenting something similar without know nothing about it. ( no internet at this time :D ) First time I discovered about sup was in 2008, googling for alternative human powered watercraft...I was initially skeptical and never saw one here in Italy ( for those kind of things we have a generational gap of 4-5 years ehehhe ) but still I was intrigued by looking some youtube video and after a lot of questions on some dedicated forum I've "took the worm" and bought an inflatable board outside country ( not easy to find sup seller near me 7-8 years ago, Uli and C4 board were going strong in USA ) ... and after that I become and avid sup paddler. I obviously always enjoy going also in kayak, outrigger or surf ( especially in company ) but for me sup is really my cup of tea. Still I'm curious to know more where, how and who contributed to the evolution of modern sup!
+Horror Coder For me the catalyst was when someone decided to stand on their surfobard using a paddle rather than lying prone to hand paddle into the wave and then pop to a standing position. I don't think anyone can say who first did that. That probably go lost into history. John Zapatocky was obviously one of the first. joseph "Scooter Boy" Kaopuiki. was know to use a paddle on his surfboard. John "Pops" Ah Choy and his sons Bobby and Leroy are all early pioneers. The truth is, SUP didn't become a thing until the mid 00's.
Magical! Waikiki is today a concrete jungle, and this reminds me why it turned into that. At one time, it was the coolest, funnest place in the world to be. Since then that title has moved to Pipeline, Waimea Bay and Teahupo'o... each time requiring more and more athleticism until 99% of people can't participate. But in 1939, Waikiki was still a secret place where Hawaiians, haoless, and girls who couldn't surf (just ride on the guys shoulders) could all share the waves... paradise!
Watch the guy in the black trunks. I had that same board as a kid. Weighed a ton. I built a paddle and used to paddle it all over Kaneohe Bay, visit Chinaman's Hat, and once caught a small wave for laughs, that board was the ultimate wave-snaker. No skegs in those days; that's why Duke was on a round-bottom board. The flatter style used by the black trunks guy was more modern, and made up for lack of a skeg by simple length and hard rails.
What a wonderful video and the quality is so good for it’s age. A privilege to see the Duke in action, fun surfing, sharing aloha as it is meant to be.
trazendo o surf para os gostos de Califórnia, Austrália e Nova Zelândia sobre a sua vida. 24 de agosto marca o que teria sido o aniversário de 125 Kahanamoku - ele faleceu em 1968. Em suas ilhas nativas do Havaí, Kahanamoku foi conhecida por muito mais do que apenas ondas de equitação. Ele primeiro construiu sua reputação como um campeão de natação, conquistando cinco medalhas olímpicas ao longo de sua carreira. Seu sucesso permitiu-lhe também para elevar o perfil da verdadeira paixão do surf do Havaí. Também Kahanamoku foi eleito o xerife do condado de sua casa 13 vezes e atuou em mais de uma dúzia de filmes. Mais importante ainda, ele é creditado com ajudando as ilhas havaianas Conseguir um Estado em 1959. Para o Google Doodle de segunda-feira, ilustrador Matt Cruickshank decidiu homenagear o aniversário de Kahanamoku esboçando seu 16-ft. prancha de madeira juntamente com a semelhança amigável do rosto do ícone
That overturning outrigger is pretty odd. I like how the guys at the end all jump or dive off their boards, which I'm sure was at the direction of whoever was filming this. Provides a little excitement.
howard taylor This year was the start of WWII and just 2 years before Pearl Harbor was bombed. The world wasn't exactly at peace then just as it isn't at peace now.
howard taylor Dude. The entire world was at war with itself... 1939 was the beginning of WW2. There were bombings two years later on the same island this was filmed. Our world has always been at war... and always will be. 10 years before this America was going through the Great Depression, and prior to that, WW1.
This is cool until you realize this was 75 years ago and everyone in this video is DEAD. So what's the point of life really? So you had a good wave but now you're dead, I'm alive, who won? Plus Andy Irons would smoke any of these guys here but he's dead too. You will be too. You say you'll try to enjoy your time here but you're a dead man walking and when you die, your life was meaningless. As long as I outlive you, then I'm better than you.
The past and the future are delusions. There is only the present moment. If you've been able to take one breath, in the moment, then I'd say your life was "worth it." Matter, animated into a human life form. How cool is that? Even if for just one beautiful moment like riding an Austrailian surf ski or early stand up paddleboard at Waikiki.
Man, I'm impressed by the footage that were able to capture with the cameras then. Smoooooth.

When everybody enjoyed a single wave together.. how it should be.
PickledOnion they still do. It's called a party wave
Waikiki waves allow for that more than most other waves...plus the atmosphere of Waikiki 1939 was unique
Depends on the wave those yeah definitely most waves though it's just dangerous and there's really only room for to ride it effectively
You can’t share waves as much because people are turning into the waves so they can cut people off back that it looks like they rode straight into the shore more often.
Imagine people in the future looking at our Full HD clips and say "Wow, those guys died over 5000 years ago!".
***** " I can't believe they didn't have hologram-video back then "
+PointB1ank haha yeah exactly, it's hard to imagine what they will think of full HD blue ray etc. :D
+PointB1ank On the other hand ✋ they might be more humble in their opinion...I for one admire our ancestors for their ingenuity :)
Yeah It will be very interesting to see where technology goes, its hard to imagine what will be the next big step.
According to today's Google drawing (main page), Duke is the godfather of surfing
Sam Mortley Not sure but thought they said Father will recheck my info :-)
not exactly. he is responsible for bringing it to the west on a wide scale.
Thumbs up if Google Doodle sent you here! ^^
Nathan Kim NO.
Cheeehee!!! Damn, wish I coulda met and shared a wave with this absolute *legend* !!!!
Nobody mentioned how Duke was resting his smiling face right next to that beautiful girl's bikinied derriere. I just thought I'd mention it because... well, ya know... I liked that part

Happy birthday Duke. 130 years old.

Surfing in the 30s would have been incredible

Happy Birthday Duke! Please apologize for all the rudeness below.
This video is SOOOOO spongebob squarepants
What a wonderful video and the quality is so good for it’s age. A privilege to see the Duke in action, fun surfing, sharing aloha as it is meant to be.
Two years later, Japan bombed us right there. Crazy stuff.
Darin King they bombed more down west u haole
Justin Miyashiro Pearl Harbor isn’t that far remember Oahu isn’t the big island
No SUP on this footage.
A bit lame to identify as SUP.
Trying to legitimate a sport by showing false footage doesn't bid good for said sport.
here is a song about Jhonny Weismülller and a bit of Duke Kahanamoku

Does anybody know the name of the song?

Cześć Jego Pamięci !
l dont know if they can creat these scenes In a profesional movie !?
And no hotels!! (although I did stay in one right on the beach)
I love the music. It's also great to see the museum boards in action. Of all the cultures, I think I like Hawaii's the best.
They need a biopic of this guy. Would be badass
It's the graphic book ''In Waves'' from AJ DUNGO that bring me here.
Blue bird waves na?
wow go Duke go
Duke's Birthday. Awesome footage.

Livin' like Larry.,.
hola
it's crazy to know that all of these people would be long gone by now...
No walking the deck of the board back then? No nose riding? Wonder when that came around
Those were wonderful times. The world was at relative peace. Now the politicians have turned the world into a massive battleground.
howard taylor This year was the start of WWII and just 2 years before Pearl Harbor was bombed. The world wasn't exactly at peace then just as it isn't at peace now.
Yes you are right but watching that home-style footage some how made things feel good.
I totally agree, this footage does make it feel that way.
howard taylor Dude. The entire world was at war with itself... 1939 was the beginning of WW2. There were bombings two years later on the same island this was filmed. Our world has always been at war... and always will be. 10 years before this America was going through the Great Depression, and prior to that, WW1.
howard taylor Ah, didn't see someone else already responded to this... my bad brotha.

The greatest!
Everybody used to share a wave. Now it's mine mine mine mine

Everybody do the hooky laow!
+Cimmy Jarter *hukilau
I had no idea. I thought it was something Phil Hendrie invented
+Cimmy Jarter Yeah, it's a Hawaiian word for a traditional communal fishing technique employed by a large group of people. Literally a "leaf pull".
This is cool until you realize this was 75 years ago and everyone in this video is DEAD. So what's the point of life really? So you had a good wave but now you're dead, I'm alive, who won?

You say you'll try to enjoy your time here but you're a dead man walking and when you die, your life was meaningless. As long as I outlive you, then I'm better than you.
Spoken like a true, psychopathic douche bag. Yes, you win. You are the douche bag of the year.

Is there a point?
There's whatever point or lack of a point u wish to share Or not share. IMHO
The meaning of life is free will that God has given to all of us.
