Proposed Outrigger Canoe and Surfboard Club

On April 7, 1908, a letter was sent to various Honolulu organizations soliciting support for the proposed Outrigger Canoe and Surfboard Club at Waikiki.  The letter read:

Dear Sir:

Will you put before your members the project of the “Outrigger Canoe and Surfboard Club” at Waikiki.  We wish to have a place where surfboarding may be revived and  those who live away from the waterfront may keep their surfboards.  The Club will own a certain number of canoes, while members will also have the privilege of keeping theirs under the broad lanai of the club house.

It is probable that land for a Hau tree lanai house will be secured at Waikiki on nominal rental.  Many of the most prominent gentlemen in the city have already applied for membership in the Club.  It has been suggested that those who join with privileges of entertaining or giving visitors cards to strangers pay annual dues of $10.00  while young boys and actual surfers without privilege of extending courtesies of Club to friends and visitors, pay $5.00 per annum.  The main object of the Club being to give an added and permanent attraction to Hawaii and make Waikiki always the Home of the Surfer, with perhaps an annual Surfboard and Outrigger Canoe Carnival which will do much to spread abroad the attractions of Hawaii, the only islands in the world where men and boys ride upright upon the crests of the waves.

Trusting you will place the matter before your club members and also send us any names of those who wish to unite with us, we are,

Sincerely,
A. L. C. Atkinson
