Waterman – Sunday June 16 at 9:25 p.m.
Duke Paoa Kahanamoku, a five-time Olympic medalist and native of Hawaii, has shattered records and introduced surfing to the world, all while overcoming personal challenges in his life. Watermanexplores his journey and legacy as a legendary swimmer, pioneer and undisputed father of modern surfing, after the sport was first included in the Tokyo 2020 (2021) Games.
There are few who have never heard this name. Paoa Kahanamoku, nicknamed Duke, was a living legend in the 1910s for having been an Olympic swimming medalist, and especially for his surfing demonstrations which have become legendary. Narrated by Jason Momoa, this new documentary traces the story of this indisputable champion.
Through rare footage and exclusive interviews with today’s biggest surfing stars – including the first ever Olympic gold medalist, Carissa Moore -, Waterman looks back on the victories, struggles and destiny of this surfing pioneer.
From humble beginnings, Duke rose to fame, becoming the face of a changing Hawaii – and a vital part of its tourism industry – as the territory evolved from an independent kingdom to a 50e American state. Yet relatively few people outside of Hawaii know the full extent of Duke’s impact on sports, lifesaving and the fight against prejudice and racism.
Through Duke’s incredible athletic achievements and his personal doctrine of aloha, the film explores a theme that still resonates today – the role of sports in breaking down social barriers – and celebrates his triumphs and philosophy of inclusion, challenging us to embrace diversity and integrate a philosophy of life that advocates respect for others.
