Bishop Museum Announces New Display: Two Hawaiian Olympic Champions. The First and the Latest.

Bernice Pauahi Bishop Museum is proud to announce a new display in the Gulab and Indru Watumull Atrium in historic Hawaiian Hall: Two Hawaiian Olympic Champions. The First and the Latest. The display will debut during the Hawaiʻi International Film Festival World Premiere of WATERMAN on Friday, November 5, 2021 on the Museum's Great Lawn.

Two Hawaiian Olympic Champions juxtaposes Duke Paoa Kahanamoku and Carissa Kainani Moore, celebrating two individuals living 100 years apart yet sharing the same story – one of respect and aloha for Hawaiʻi and the world.

"Bishop Museum is very proud to honor two Native Hawaiian Olympic Gold Medalists together in this display – Duke being the first such winner, in 1912, and Carissa as the most recent, in 2021," said Brandon Bunag, Bishop Museum vice president of public programs and interim director of Education. "Bishop Museum are the stewards of irreplaceable cultural treasures including a replica of one of Duke Kahanamoku's most famous surfboards made in the 1930's, as well as his numerous awards and accolades, including his Olympic gold medals. The Two Hawaiian Olympic Champions display will feature this replica of Duke's surfboard along with one of his Olympic gold medals side-by-side Carissa Moore's Olympic gold medal, and the surfboard that helped her win it."

"We hope that this display will inspire the next generation to strive for excellence, honor those that have come before us, and leave a legacy that will last long past us," said Bunag.

About WATERMAN

Surfing legend. Olympic superstar. Hawaiian icon. American hero. Five-time Olympic medalist and Native Hawaiian Duke Paoa Kahanamoku shattered records and brought surfing to the world while overcoming a lifetime of personal challenges. WATERMAN explores his journey and legacy as a legendary swimmer, trailblazer, and the undisputed father of modern-day surfing, following the sport's first-time inclusion in this year's Summer Olympics – a fitting tribute to his work promoting the sport around the globe. Directed by Isaac Halisma.
