DUKE KAHANAMOKU

Out of the water, I am nothing.

Every day of the year where the water is 76, day and night, and the waves roll high, I take my sled, without runners, and coast down the face of the big waves that roll in at Waikiki.

In Hawaii, we greet friends, loved ones or strangers with Aloha, which means love. Aloha is the key word to the universal spirit of real hospitality, which makes Hawaii renowned as the world's center of understanding and fellowship. Try meeting or leaving people with Aloha. You'll be surprised by their reaction. I believe it and it is my creed. Aloha to you.

I have never seen snow and do not know what winter means.

Just take your time - wave comes. Let the other guys go, catch another one.

Don't talk - keep it in your heart.

I have never coasted down a hill of frozen rain.
