“She may have been the first female surfer in Britain, but the only tangible evidence – so far – is a letter in which she wrote that she enjoyed “being on the water again” at Brighton. She may have meant a walk on the West Pier, or a walk on the promenade. Ka’iulani liked swimming and surfing. She was a high-spirited girl, who when she returned to Hawaii, liked to sneak out past midnight to go swimming in the moonlight with girlfriends.”
Is it possible that Ka’iulani could have surfed in Britain? “We don’t know yet, is the honest answer,” says Robinson. “There’s a quote about her from when she was living in Brighton about how she loved being ‘on the water again’, and at the time Brighton was the sea-bathing capital of Britain, so there is a chance, but we haven’t found anything yet that proves it one way or the other. I like to think she did.” Ka’iulani might have surfed in Brighton or she might not, but Robinson is adamant that she never surfed on her visits north of the Border.

Kaʻiulani (Hawaiian pronunciation: [kə'ʔi.u.'lɐni]; Victoria Kawēkiu Kaʻiulani Lunalilo Kalaninuiahilapalapa Cleghorn; October 16, 1875 – March 6, 1899) was the only child of Princess Miriam Likelike, and the last heir apparent to the throne of the Hawaiian Kingdom. She was the niece of King Kalākaua and Queen Liliʻuokalani. After the death of her mother, Princess Kaʻiulani was sent to Europe at age 13 to complete her education under the guardianship of British businessman and Hawaiian sugar investor Theo H. Davies. She had not yet reached her eighteenth birthday when the 1893 overthrow of the Hawaiian Kingdom altered her life. The Provisional Government of Hawaii rejected pleas from both her father Archibald Scott Cleghorn, and provisional president Sanford B. Dole, to seat Kaʻiulani on the throne, conditional upon the abdication of Liliʻuokalani. The Queen thought the Kingdom's best chance at justice was to relinquish her power temporarily to the United States. Photograph credit: unknown; restored by Mark Miller

@ Amakuru: Hello, this is one issue I have with the summary: "The Provisional Government of Hawaii rejected pleas from both her father Archibald Scott Cleghorn, and provisional president Sanford B. Dole, to seat Kaʻiulani on the throne, conditional upon the abdication of Liliʻuokalani." Can we change the emotionally charged wording of "pleas" to more a neutral wording of "suggestions"? It should also be the Committee of Safety because these conversations happen prior to the establishment of the PG. KAVEBEAR ( talk) 06:42, 31 January 2023 (UTC)
