Going back to Hawaii for this post.
This is the statue of the legendary Duke Kahanamoku in Waikiki on Oahu, Hawaii.
From Brave's Leo AI:
The Duke Kahanamoku Statue is a 9-foot bronze sculpture located on Kūhiō Beach in Waikiki, Honolulu, honoring the legendary Hawaiian surfer and Olympic swimmer known as the "Father of Modern Surfing." Created by sculptor Jan Gordon Fisher and erected in 1990, the statue depicts Duke with his arms outstretched in a welcoming gesture, symbolizing the spirit of aloha.
Visitor Etiquette: While many tourists place leis on the statue, officials and locals discourage tossing leis onto the bronze arms due to the acidity of the flowers which can damage the material.
I guess visitors don't follow the etiquette.
