New Duke Kahanamoku license plate supports drowning prevention
Hawaii is rolling out a new specialty license plate honoring surfing legend Duke Kahanamoku, with proceeds going toward water safety programs.
- Starting Monday, 4,000 of the plates go on sale at Oahu satellite city halls.
- Each plate costs $40.50, with part of that fee going straight to the Duke Kahanamoku Foundation.
- The foundation uses the money for drowning prevention programs, including swim education.
Outlook: The plates are expected to sell out given their limited run and the local popularity of Duke Kahanamoku's legacy.
