Duke attended McKinley High School but dropped out without graduating. For a time he earned his living as a beachboy and stevedore at the Honolulu Harbor docks. He became a leader of the local "beach boys." As the best waterman among the formidable group of young watermen at Waikiki, Duke became the group's leader. He set a good example. He did not drink or smoke and if he did get into a fight it was after being hassled and even then he would not punch, preferring to slap, instead. He seldom raised his voice. He used his eyes to communicate what he didn't vocalize.
