The race was the brainchild of Doug Carr and George Lipp, then head Canoe Club with a time of 3:44:08. The course extended from Kailua beach park to the Outrigger Hotel in coach and president respectively of Lanikai Canoe Club. The winner of the race that first year was Outrigger Waikiki, a distance of approximately 24 miles. The following year, 1969, the race became an annual event and official permission was given for the use of Duke Kahanamoku as its official name.
