Keep the Waikiki Beach Boys! “The first beachboys arrived with the 1901 opening of the Moana Hotel. Edward ("Dude," pronounced "Dudie") Miller arranged with the hotel to open a beach concession and by 1906, the hotel was promoting surfing and canoeing to potential guests. Miller was a champion surfer, the first captain of Hui Nalu, an excellent spear fisherman and a gifted musician. He pulled most of his beachboys from the ranks of Hui Nalu and established a strict code of conduct for them: no drinking, no gambling, no hands straying over female tourists. His boys wore uniforms, were clean shaven and they kept the beach clean and safe. For many years, Miller's right hand man was Lukela "Old Man John D." Kaupiko. Kaupiko eventually took over Miller's concession and was head beachboy for many years. He also coached Hui Nalu teams to many championships and his students were among the best canoe steersmen.” *from Hawaiihistory.org

Tell this Kook to go
Home! Greedy people are what makes this world sour. So many people are going to all the most beautiful places around the world , trashing them and not respecting its culture or nature.

Imagine no Hawaiians. Imagine no Duke Kahanamoku. This is sheer greed and another example of Hawaii being sold to the highest bidder

Our tradition of Ocean knowledgable kanaka, Beach Boys, are vital to our island culture and practice of kuleana, responsibility. These individuals, Beach Boys, insure safety, Aloha, knowledge and traditions just to mention a few things cause there are many more that needs our Beach Boys to be recognized as a living treasure. Do not let the Beach boy culture be taken we need to recognize and support The Beach Boys!
