Duke Kahanamoku is widely regarded as Hawaii’s greatest athlete, having won six Olympic medals – including three gold medals in swimming – from 1912 to 1932. He was also the first person inducted into both the International Swimming Hall of Fame (1965) and International Surfing Hall of Fame (1966).

Duke was instrumental in popularizing the sport of surfing around the world. Later in life, he was appointed to the position of being Hawaii’s official “Ambassador of Aloha.”

ODKF is a public nonprofit foundation created with the mission to financially support the development of individuals and organizations perpetuating the spirit and legacy of Duke Kahanamoku.
