Inductees where Duke Kahanamoku, Eddie Aikau, Rell Sunn, Wally Froiseth, Fred Hemmings, Buffalo Keaulana, Rabbit Kekai, Keo Nakama, and Nappy Napoleon. Videos of the Duke surfing, Rell Sunn's graceful style surfing and performing hula, and of Eddie at Waimea blew away the audience. As did speeches of the inductees, Keo's daughter, and Governor Linda Lingle. With friends and family of the inductees attending, it was truly an awesome collection of outstanding watermen and women under one roof. The Surf Realization Fellowship was truly there in force.
