Erected in 1994 after a long and contested planning process, the statue commemorates the Hawaiian athlete's contributions to Australian surfboard riding, particularly his exhibitions of surfing in Sydney in 1914/15. This article considers three dimensions of the monument: underlying motivations, memory and identity. While the circumstances of this particular example are unique, the broad issues are common to many statues. This case study offers an example through which sport statues can be better understood.
