Check out this rare footage of Duke Kahanamoku being interviewed by Bruce Brown (director of 'Endless Summer') during the first annual Duke Kahanamoku Invitational surfing competition.

Greg Noll, Butch Van Artsdalen, Mike Hynson, Mickey Dora, Jeff Hakman and many more surfing reprobates were all in attendance.

Duke Paoa Kahinu Mokoe Hulikohola Kahanamoku (August 24, 1890 – January 22, 1968), is generally regarded as the person who popularized the modern sport of surfing. He was also three time Olympic gold medal champion in swimming.

Those of us with an appreciation for film-making and surfing know that there is a huge difference between surf movies made with film and those made with video. The purpose of this group is to gather people who share this common appreciation and affinity to share thoughts, ideas, opinions and perspectives on the best films out there.
