Rare Hawaiian surfing book expected to fetch $40K

Submitted by HawaiiNewsNow W... on Tuesday, May 7th, 10:56 am

COSTA MESA, Calif. (AP) - A book about surfers in the early 1900s is expected to sell at auction for about $40,000.

A copy of "The Surf Riders of Hawaii" will go before bidders Saturday at the Surfing Heritage Vintage Surf Auction. The auction will include more than 60 vintage surfboards and other items.

The book is 1 of 8 made by hand by A.R. Gurrey Jr. between 1911 and 1915. Gurrey is considered the father of surf photography. The book helped spread surfing's appeal from Hawaii to the mainland.

It includes eight mounted photographs of native Hawaiians surfing Waikiki. Among them is 1 of Duke Kahanamoku, the Olympic medalist swimmer who helped popularize surfing.

A copy of the book sold at Sotheby's for $37,500 last year.

Submitted by HawaiiNewsNow W... on Monday, May 6th, 2:08 pm

WAIKIKI (HawaiiNewsNow)- A boat exploded at the Ala Wai small boat harbor Monday morning, sending a man to the hospital.

Three people were on the 43-foot long fiberglass sport yacht when the explosion occurred at about 9:20 a.m. Two people escaped unharmed, but a man in his 50s is in serious condition, according to EMS officials.

They told investigators that moments before the explosion, they were using small gasoline containers to fill the boat so they could take it out for a ride.

The Coast Guard and Dept. of Land and Natural Resources are helping with the investigation into the cause.

Investigators say the blast caused about $100,000 in damage.
