WAIKIKI IN JANUARY-FEBRUARY 1925 By Edwin North McClellan “Surfboard paddling races, once a popular local sport, were revived at the Out­ rigger Canoe Club today, under the auspices of a committee of members which plans to make them an annual event in the future,” reported the Star-Bulletin, January 1, 1925. “The revival of the races is along new lines with a view to placing the racers entirely dependent upon their own ability and speed, and not giving them the ad­ vantage of the surf, as in the past. Today’s course was parallel to the beach. The Men’s Open Race was from Gray’s Raft to a point in the water opposite the Out­ rigger’s Clock. The other races were from a point off the Seaside Hotel to the same finish-line." George David “Dad” (Hullo Joe) Center was in charge of the affair.
