Im watching an old American Masters about Duke Kahanamoku. I wasnt sure if you saw this This Is Your Life but here's an episode about and with him. He seems like a genuinely nice guy.

Thanks. I'll watch it later tonight.
He was old, but still alive when I started surfing (1961) and was always a real ambassador for the sport and Hawaiian culture.
Those guys were real watermen back during his prime: riding 100-pound boards with no fins (as they did) would be quite a challenge.
The Duke will always be in a category all by himself. Eddie Aikau (RIP) probably came the closest to becoming a similar role model later on, but there was only one Duke.
