Matt Cruickshank sketched Duke Kahanamoku’s face on a wooden surfboard for the Google Doodle Aug. 24, the graphic that accompanies Google’s search box on the Internet. Kahanamoku was an Olympian, medaling five times in swimming. He was also considered the father of modern surfing. Aug. 24 marked his birthday. He was born in Honolulu in 1890 and is the only person to be inducted into both the International Swimming Hall of Fame and the International Surfing Hall of Fame. The Indigenous Kahanamoku traveled the world putting on swimming exhibitions, and increasing interest in surfing.
