That drive to inspire is something Duplanty deeply resonates with, often encouraging kids by saying, “We all have something special inside of us.” Reflecting on his own journey, he adds, “There was something greater, something special hidden deep inside of me. And that’s what I was after—being the best that I could be. And it wasn’t going to look the same as everyone else’s.” Both athletes found their start by daring to dream and leaning on communities that believed in their potential. Their stories stand as a testament to the power of perseverance, passion, and the currents of connection that carry us toward our greatest achievements. Congratulations to Duplanty and Seraphin on their induction into the Hawai‘i Waterman Hall of Fame as they continue to inspire and write the next chapters in their remarkable journeys. ■
And, of course, no Outrigger story would be complete without a nod to the Club’s beloved Snack Shop. Seraphin fondly recalls how her paddling runs with fellow members—from Hawai‘i Kai, Makapu‘u, or Sandy’s—would inevitably end with mint chip milkshakes. “They’d order mine because they’d beat me,” she laughs. “We’d have to go back to pick up the cars, right? So I’d get to the beach, and there’d be a milkshake waiting.” These moments capture the unique blend of challenge and community that defines her connection to the Club. Today, while Seraphin is celebrated for her extraordinary 15-year reign as the women’s stock board record holder, she hopes her legacy extends far beyond personal achievements: “My greatest wish is that I can inspire the next generation of paddlers and women ocean athletes,” she shared at the Waterman Hall of Fame induction ceremony.
