Duke 2
This is a borrowed bit of text for explanation..
Duke Paoa Kahanamoku (1890-1968)
Located above the surf and rock pool at Freshwater Beach, seemingly wedged into a rock that looks like a huge breaker, is a great statue of the ‘father of modern surfing’. In the early 1900s, he perfected manoeuvres, such as riding backward, performing headstands and surfing at an angle to slide left or right along the face of a wave. The statue commemorates his visit to Australia in 1915, when he introduced true board surfing to Australia.
