The designer of the exhibit: “Duke Kahanamoku, on a wooden board with no fins, surfed a wave that was over 25 feet tall on its face. And he surfed it for over a mile. And we wanted to have the audience experience that moment. So we built a 27-foot tall wave and put a replica of Duke’s board in it. And people can stand on that board and feel like they are there in the presence of this wave.” – NPR
