Not really a biography, but... Have you seen the movie "The Ride"? It is a story about a modern, cocky surf champion that wipes-out during a competition and gets rescued by Duke back in Old Hawaii. It is pretty corny and the acting leaves something to be desired, but in the end I really enjoyed this movie. They really did a good job of showing Oahu the way it must have been back in the old days (when there was only one hotel in Waikiki). Pretty cheesy, but enjoyable never-the-less. They sell it on Amazon or you can rent it from Netflix. Now, hopefully someone else can help you find a real bio-pic. [ Edited by: Riptide 2007-05-24 09:30 ] |
