How Duke Became a Global Sporting Icon

This episode tells the remarkable story of Duke Kahanamoku, one of the most important cultural and sports figures to ever come out of Hawaii and the subject of the documentary The Waterman. More than an Olympic gold medalist and the man who introduced surfing to the world, Duke was a global ambassador for Hawaiian culture at a time when Native traditions and identity were under threat. 

Bill Pratt, champion swimmer, outrigger canoe paddler, and Cultural Advisor with the Outrigger Duke Kahanamoku Foundation  along with The Waterman director Isaac Halasima discuss Duke’s enduring influence, the true meaning of aloha, and what it means to honor a cultural icon with respect and intention.
