Though Hawaii may lay claim to the roots of surfing and the first ambassador of surfing, Peru also has its place in early surf history. One of Peru's own, Carlos Dogny, honed his skills surfing alongside Duke Kahanamoku, and even brought one of Duke's boards back to Peru - one of the first true surfboards to appear in the country. While Duke is known as "the father of modern surfing," Dogny holds the Peruvian version of that title. In 1942, Dogny founded Club Waikiki on the beaches of Miraflores, Lima, and from that day, surfing became a permanent fixture in the country.
