Duke's hosts private party to honor Waikiki beachboys

Advertiser Staff

A gathering of Waikiki beachboys, past and present, will mark what would have been the 117th birthday of the world's greatest surfer — Duke Kahanamoku.

The private event will be held this month at Duke's Barefoot Bar in Waikiki.

Organizers have invited 45 beachboys and plan to honor them for their aloha spirit. They're never sure who will show up, but report that no beachboy worth his salt would turn down a party.
