Inductee Bio
Revered power surfer from Haleiwa, Hawaii; world-ranked #9 in 1976, but best known for his innovative and never-duplicated approach at Sunset Beach. Kanaiaupuni was born (1945) and raised in Honolulu, the son of a supervisor for the Honolulu Rapid Transit bus system, and began surfing at age eight in Waikiki. As a teenager he was briefly featured in Bud Browne's 1963 surf movie Gun Ho!; three years later Rick Surfboards introduced the Barry Kanaiaupuni Model, and in the 1967 Malibu Invitational, according to Surfing magazine, the handsome dark-haired Hawaiian "brought a quiet crowd to cheers with his power surfing unlimited." | |||
