There are many statues celebrating surfing culture throughout Honolulu but I was drawn to this one, situated close to the beach, surrounded by palm and banyan trees.  It seems to capture the grace and fun of the sport.  The statue was unveiled in 2003 and rests opposite the entrance to the Honolulu Zoo.
