100 Years Ago Today - Duke Leaves Hawaii

2012-02-07T13:31:00.004-05:00

It was on this day, February 7th, in 1912 that Duke Kahanamoku left Hawaii for the first time. He was on his way to the Olympic Trials on the mainland. Duke had recently smashed swimming records at the Amateur Athletic Union's first swim meet in the Territory of Hawaii and much hope was being placed on sending Duke to the mainland to represent Hawaii.

“It would be a good thing for Hawaii from an advertising standpoint if Kahanamoku were sent to San Francisco to take part in the trials. Win or lose, he can be relied on to make a credible showing” – H.M. Ayres, sportswriter for The Hawaiian Star, January 4^th 1912.

Duke and his travelling partners "were literally smothered with leis and were the recipients of countless good wishes from friends and well-wishers." (Hawaiian Star - February 8th, 1912). Accompanying Duke was another Olympic hopeful, the distance swimmer, Vincent "Zen" Genoves, as well as the expedition manager, Lew Henderson, and last minute addition, E.K. "Dude" Miller.

"It was decided at the last moment to send Miller along. He knows the boys intimately and can talk Hawaiian, a fact which should be of great help to the expedition as far as Kahanamoku is concerned."(Hawaiian Star - February 7th, 1912).

The group left Honolulu aboard the S.S. Honolulan bound for San Francisco. In the coming weeks, Olympic Trials were being held in Pittsburgh, Chicago and New York.

“The Hui Nalu gave their club yell, a quintet club sang “Aloha Oe”, Berringer’s Band struck up “Auld Lang Syne” and it was off and away with the speedy water artist on whom the Territory is banking to bring her much fame and advertisement.” (Hawaiian Star - February 8th, 1912).

The above photo is mis-captioned. From left to right are Genoves, Miller, Kahanamoku and Henderson. The photo is from the February 27th edition of the Hawaiian Star, but the picture was obviously taken upon departure from Honolulu as there would have been no other locations where the group would have been showered in leis.

The Boyne Currach - 1935 Film

2011-06-13T02:07:00.000-04:00

A great early film by Frank Stevens - the narration... and YouTube are modern but the Currach and construction are totally classic. I've always been a fan of Timothy Severin's "The Brendan Voyage" - and this little film feels right at home.

"The inner peace that comes with the quiet contemplation of a beach on a still calm morning, or the feeling of exhilaration that comes from riding a great wave in a small boat, is more reward than most will ever know."

Apparently Wood Boards Started with Bob Simmons

2010-02-28T12:09:00.002-05:00

Suffering from a SoCal Lobotomy - modern history is being re-written in Japan. Apparently wooden surfboard building began with Bob Simmons and ended with Clark foam. Although, for the first time outside of New Zealand, the word "Flex" is being used as a positive in surfboard design. My prediction; one day many of the hipster elitist and socal old boys will ride on Stewart inspired craft - but they will not do it knowingly or admittedly - it will come from Japan... or something like that. Enough conspiracy theories for a Sunday morning. I got work to do.

2009-11-18T16:30:00.001-05:00

Above is Master Boardsmith, Roy Stewart, pictured in his "moaning chair". Howard Chappel put it best as:

""The boatbuilder (surfboard builder) is well advised to place a comfortable chair within easy walking distance, but out of sight of the project. When the builder has done some damn fool thing, like cut two left garboards, or put a drill bit through a newly varnished Honduras mahogany panel, they must immediately retire to the moaning chair, until the period of moaning is complete, lest they turn the whole project into firewood.""

2008-11-09T17:33:00.005-05:00

After a light post on Friday about the Spitfire Fin and airplane wings, I found myself face to face with the original twin fin. The B24 Liberator, a WW2 USAAF Heavy Bomber, just like the one my Grandfather flew in Italy. It even turns out they had his name posted on the bomb bay doors. Also on site was a B17 Super Fortress and a P51 Mustang (not pictured because blogger is having some personal issues).

2008-10-12T14:15:00.004-04:00

The southeast winds brought remnants of the sargasso sea to our beaches. It has been almost a full year since our last visit. It's a interesting addition to the beach and dunes. It squishes beneath your feet and is full of little bugs and relics. We'll see if it is an early indicator to winter or just a mark of the season.
