Duke Kahanamoku quotes:

Just take your time - wave comes. Let the other guys go, catch another one.

In Hawaii, we greet friends, loved ones or strangers with Aloha, which means love. Aloha is the key word to the universal spirit of real hospitality, which makes Hawaii renowned as the world's center of understanding and fellowship. Try meeting or leaving people with Aloha. You'll be surprised by their reaction. I believe it and it is my creed. Aloha to you.

Every day of the year where the water is 76, day and night, and the waves roll high, I take my sled, without runners, and coast down the face of the big waves that roll in at Waikiki.

Out of water, I am nothing.

Don't talk - keep it in your heart.

I have never seen snow and do not know what winter means.

Out of the water, I am nothing.

I have never coasted down a hill of frozen rain.

I am only happy when I am swimming like a fish.
