Bong, are you sure that's a medal that Duke actually won? If so, that's pretty cool.

Randy,

This is the same medal as shown in Mark Blackburn's book on page 217 (see first post for title). A friend of mine, Don, owned it at the time. Now, Blackburn's no slouch when it comes to writing books on Surf and/or Hawaiiana. I'm sure he and Don knew its authenticity. My wife picked it up from Don and gave it to me for Christmas (Jingle Bells).

(It sets nicely next to the original Kava bowl of John Pagliero)
