Here are a few more things culled from among my dad’s papers.
The small news clipping is undated. It reports on a request from the Hawaii Surfing Association to the city for surfboard lockers on the beach.
My dad helped to found the Hawaii Surfing Association in 1939, soon after his arrival in Honolulu. The organization provided a vehicle for lots of surfing and beach activities prior to the founding of the Waikiki Surf Club in 1947. So I expect this clipping dates from somewhere between 1939-1947, most likely in the post-war period.
I haven’t yet found anything about a city response to the locker request, but I did find the next photo (also undated) showing a group of young men building what appear to be those lockers. I’m guessing that this was done by the Waikiki Surf Club.
Two other photos show Surf Club activity in February 1949.
Hopefully some of you will be able to identify the people shown. If so, just leave a comment below.

We have been asked to design surfboard lockers for a beach in Cornwall in the UK. It would have been great to see the finished locker as it would give us some real inspiration for for what we want to create.
No doubt these lockers will have looked really cool once finished.
wondering how to rent a surfboard locker!
any guidance you can give–love your post!
