Surfer of the Century
Review
By The Bloomsbury Review
An inspiring, poignant biography of the legendary surfer Duke Kahanamoku, who was also the fastest swimmer in the world for 16 years! In spite of his championships, Kahanamoku still faced prejudice, because of his darker Hawaiian American skin, yet he managed to graciously triumph over countless obstacles to become a bonafide legend.
