Duke Kahanamoku, a brand that is aware of the trend in the U.S. mainland and has produced many sophisticated designs. Among them, it was accepted by the world of surf culture, including young people on the West Coast, and became a popular item. This design, which was announced in the late 1950s, is also a highly complete pattern that incorporates the atomic pattern that has become popular throughout the United States, and it becomes a design that symbolises the later Duke Kahanamoku.
