Five-time world surf champion and Olympic gold medalist, Carissa Moore, and three-time Olympic gold medallist and the man credited with bringing surfing to the world, Duke Kahanamoku are the stars of an enormous painted mural erected on the side of a Honolulu building. 

Painted by Kamea Hadar, the artwork spans seven stories on a building in the heart of Honolulu and has taken several weeks to complete.
