RESTORING THE FRESHWATER SURFING HISTORY AND HERITAGE WALK
The Friends of Freshwater are dedicated to preserving and restoring the historic Surfers Walk at Freshwater Beach, where Duke Kahanamoku gave a surfing demonstration in 1914, forever changing our coastal culture.
We work to maintain this cherished heritage pathway and its mosaic plaques honoring surfing legends, to ensure that over a century of surfing history remains accessible for locals and visitors to discover. Through grant applications, volunteer efforts, and partnerships like those with Hawaiian Airlines Team Kokua, we protect this sacred space where the Duke’s legacy lives on, inspiring new generations to embrace the ocean lifestyle that defines our Northern Beaches community.
