'This is the story of the rise and rise of The Duke, the man who taught the world to surf.

'Duke Kahanamoku grew up on the island of Oahu in Hawaii about a hundred years ago. From learning the Hawaiian traditions as a child, to making his own long wooden boards for wave sliding, and then starting a swim club with his friends, this boy became a gold and silver medallist at three Olympic Games, breaking world records along the way.' (Publication summary)
