    Plus your respect for all other water users means that whenever you surf a new wave, people are always super stoked to share their wave with you. You're such a statesman for Hawaii, a legend in the water, and such a funny puppy on land. This bodyboarder has been hooked on your vids for some time now. Enjoy the rest of your slab tour, I cannot wait to see what else you will share. Blessings to Mahina, your Mum and brothers ✨️🤙🙌

    It was a buzz surfing it regularly in the 1970's. No bodyboards back then, but blokes surfed it on surf mats, especially Steve Downey and Dave Shaw. It's a shame you didn't catch it bigger. It would sting the back of your ears and neck when it spat. Brought back memories.
