Cool statue and park dedicated to Duke Kahanamoku who first demonstrated surfboard riding in 1914 at Freshwater Beach! His surfing exhibition at Sydney`s Freshwater Beach on December 23, 1914 is widely regarded as the most significant day in the development of surfing in Australia. The board Kahanamoku used is retained by the Freshwater Surf Club .

The Duke statue commemorates Duke K. bringing surfing as a sport to Australia. The park is on a great lookout point in Freshwater, with full view all the way to Manly beach and if you look the other direction, Curl Curl beach. Bring a picnic!
