During the period
1920-1929, the popularity of surfing continued to grow amongst the determined
and dedicated. Surfing's revival during the previous two decades had gone by
relatively unnoticed by the rest of the world, with the exception of Australia , New
Zealand and the United States .
With the death of George Freeth in 1919, surfing's spread was left to Duke Kahanamoku almost single handedly. From a surfing perspective, the 1920s was largely Duke's era and he dominated all news about the sport during that time. However, Duke was not alone. There were growing numbers of surfers at Waikiki, inAustralia and California .
Significantly, another champion swimmer named Tom
Blake got interested in surfing and would become - second only to Duke -
the most influential surfer of the next two decades. This chapter covers the
events and the surfers of the 1920s in the kind of depth that cannot be found anywhere
else.
