That was my point exactly..
Peeps in MPG said there is no such thing as a heat splash so why should i argue with them when i can show proof it exist..

I didn't know that Duke was named after the swimmer. Interesting!

When you say Duke all Hawaiians know you are talking about the one and only Duke Kahanamoku winner of 3 gold and 2 silver medals and for so many years the worlds fastest swimmer.
Duke Kahanamoku was the first person to be inducted into both the Swimming Hall of Fame and the Surfing Hall of Fame. The Duke Kahanamoku Invitational Surfing Championships are named in his honor. He served as sheriff of Honolulu, Hawaii from 1932 to 1961.
There is also a chain of restaurants named after him in California and Hawaii called Duke's.
