    GUEST: CLYDE AIKAU 1 LSS 221 (LENGTH: 26:16) FIRST AIR DATE: 5/12/09 Next, meet a surfing legend. He’s a man who grew up in a Chinese cemetery, won big time surfing contests, sailed on the Polynesian voyaging canoe Hokulea, and saved lives as a Waimea Bay lifeguard. He’s a surfing legend. He’s Clyde Aikau, Eddie Aikau’s younger brother. Aloha mai kakou, I’m Leslie Wilcox. Welcome to the first edition of a special two part series of “Long Story Short.” Many know of Eddie Aikau, a waterman who was the first lifeguard at Waimea Bay, a big wave surfer who was lost at sea while attempting to save the crew of the Hokulea in 1978. But in the world of surfing, his brother Clyde Aikau is also renowned. He has won at Makaha, at the old Duke event on the North Shore, and the Eddie Aikau at Waimea. The Duke Kahanamoku Foundation named him a “Waikiki surfing legend.” In the Spring of 2009, Clyde is 59, and he’s not slowing down. He stopped long enough to talk with me about big waves, family and living at the graveyard in Pauoa. When we um, first had the opportunity to um, have a house in the—in the graveyard, um, the deal was that we have to clean … clean the graveyard and cut the grass, and maintain the entire um, graveyard.

Central Idea: The surf subculture isn’t just a group of people who only like to surf in wave, it is a way of life style that impacts the way they see the world and has actually affected our society in many ways. Introduction: Attention Getter: Show of hands? How many of you love going to the beach? How many of you have seen someone ride a wave? Doesn’t that look fun? Topic Reveal: Today, I am here to talk to you about the very fun and exciting culture of surfing. Credibility: I chose this topic because I too am very fascinated and interested in surfing. Preview: Today, I am here to discuss with you about who surfers are by explaining their background, beliefs, values, and norms. Body: I. Background Information: A. The exact origins of surfing are unknown but evidence points out to the Polynesians and Native Peruvians as the founders of surfing. Smith 2 i.
