Duke Kahanamoku, served Hawaii dutifully as a n International Ambassador of Aloha. The Outrigger Duke Kahanamoku Foundation is a non-profit organization
is the ensuring factor in keeping the Duke's values and representations alive for future Hawaii generations.
ODKF, also generates scholarship grants that are awarded to young Hawaii athletes who participate within oceansports that the Duke cherished himself.
One of the most productive fundraising event is the annual...
"Duke's Oceanfest"
Held around the time of Kahanamoku's birthday, on August 24th. and at the spot where he could be found back then-Kuhio Beach, Waikiki.
With a weeks long event of beach & ocean activities: volleyball, ocean swim, surfboard water polo, paddleboard racing, and other wave riding events that have been held since 2000.
Mahalo,
Deb Mills
