Waikiki Beach is named after wealthy Peruvian sugar cane heir Carlos Dogny. In 1942, he returned home from Hawaii with a surfboard given to him by legendary surfer Duke Kahanamoku. With the creation of Club Waikiki, Dogny contributed to the development of a distinct surf culture in Peru which had its beginnings in Peru stretching back millennia.
Surfing is part of the Peruvian history
Supposedly, surfing was indigenous to Peru, thousands of years ago at the site of Chan Chan, a village close to Huanchaco on Peru's northern coast.
As early as 3000 BC, pre-Inca fishermen used hollow reed boats called "caballitos de totora" (small reed horses) to cruise to shore.
Possibly this formed the basis for the emergence of the earliest surfboard.

Surfing in Peru was popular with the rich and famous right from the start. Bankers, golfers, businessmen, the social elite were thrilled when Carlos Dogny provided them Waikiki Beach.
