- Interview with Jay "Lords of Dogtown" Adams & "Buttons" Kaluhiokalani at Ted's Bakery on the North Shore of Oahu. This particular day, Buttons was promoting his new "Buttons brew" coffee and Jay came up to support his friend.
Two icons and legends that led the way of progression in the action sport community; Jay led skateboarding & Buttons led surfing to their next levels during the 70's & 80's in California & Hawaii
years ago I was surfing the same peak at El Porto with Jay Adams. Da guy was killing it. We both got out of the water at the same time and I complemented him on his abilities. He told mem that he didn't like the way his board was coming off the top and asked me if I wanted it. Before I could say anything, he handed me the board and said, "Alright, easy Brah..." and he was on his way.
always great seeing Buttons and Jay-soul men indeed!
Rip buttons and Jay
Jay's words stick in my head: 'I regret all the good surf I missed because I was wasted'
I was good friends with buttons…. Was a good good dude…… the surfing industry totally stole his name and his style
it's never too late to turn your life around.
Amen
Unfortunately mistakes in the past may affect you in the future, whatever you do. And this is true for all of us. RIP Jay and Buttons, 2 legends

I grew up with Jay in Venice, I followed Buttons in the magazines, it's good to see this video preserves their testimonials, experiences, wisdom and advice as well as the early history of surfing and skateboarding. Miss you both RIP
VENICE HOODLUM,TEAMPAIN ALL DAY!👊👊

I can't believe so much time has gone by...
In my mind it seems just like yesterday that I saw Buttons and Jay .... Rest in peace boys. Rest in peace.

I love these guys! I saw Buttons on the North shore riding his scooter! God bless them!
i love how at 1:58 you can see both men forget for a sec that they are on camera and they relive the youth of each others soul and it makes each other truly happy again. priceless.
RIP Jay Adams and Buttons
BUTTONS & JAY ADAMS, idols of a whole generation. Keep goin man !
From Fabio, a Brazilian guy.
Rip too both of these legends
rajah dat, brah !
Two legends; I remember flipping through the pages of Surfer and Surfing mags in the 70's, Buttons was always there.
I went to elementry school with Jay. He was so funny you just couldn't stop laughin makes me lough to think about it.
I can brag. I watched j come out of a left in escondido ,far bar, kicked out in front of me and said it was the best tube he ever had
Had the awesome opportunity to surf with one guy and see the other surf Malibu. I grew up during my teens in Dogtown. Surfed with Jay at home a lot, but we went to Malibu on a perfect south swell. In
1978 saw Buttons surfing the same spot 3rd point during the Sunkist Pro. Ben Aipa and the Hawaiian boyz were all there.
legends.
The party life style shortened their lives even after they cleaned up, the damage was done. I wish they were still here to share their positive message
I had a chance to surf with Buttons a few weeks ago near Haleiwa. He's a great guy, an awesome surfer, and his Buttons' Brew is really smooth tasting coffee.
Didn't get a chance to meet Jay Adams though which was a shame since he was( and is) one of my favorite skateboarders of all time. Aloha, bruddahs, and Merry Christmas to you!
Buttons was a kool guy.
Jay-the Lemmy of surfing and skating. The short footage of Buttons on the doc Dogtown and Z Boys is phenomenal!!
Rest In Peace, to Jay Adams and Buttons Kaluhiokalani !
This is the launch of mine and Buttons Coffee on the North Shore, Hawaii. This is the interview with Butts and Jay Boy. Jay came by that day to Support the launch our Buttons Brew Coffee.......
R.I.P uncle buttons
BUTTONS YOUR SON ISSAC IS MY HOMEBOY,WE RACED MY 88CUTLASS AGAINST HIS 92TOWNCAR.FROM THE HOOD,TO THE HOOD.I BEAT HIM WITH A FAST FISHTAIL U-TURN HE COULD'NT MANAGE.BUT IT WAS ALL LOVE&FUN.BOYS BEING BOYS...R.I.P. RIPPAH!
I swear I saw that dude buttons on Dog the Bounty. Dog had to go find him and said he was a pro surfer.
I LOVE JAY ADAMS.... I watched the movie "LORDS OF DOGTOWN" like 200 times.. JAY ADAMS IS THE BEST!!!!!!!!
Jay surfed as good as any pro in Hawaii and Indo.
Coolest dude. Super humble
2 fuckin legends right here, mad respect
"The Original Seed" Godspeed you on your way Jay
what i think is cool is that now that these guys are cooled out a little, the guys that looked up to them give back to them so that they dont have to hit the shit runnin again and it makes it so they can get their heads straight and contribute again. skate companies should have like a retirement set up for all the pros, You know like .25 or so cents off every sale towards tHe fund
I swear to god that i´ve just seen the same face-play in Jay Adams face that Emil Hirsch was doing in the movie. What a great young actor he is.
True Legends !!!
way cool interview but very hard to watch. Buttons was a huge influence on Kelly Slater's surfing and anybody who rides a board of any kind has some of their style in their riding.
I love how they talk.
Hi Meg ...
JAY-BOY IS AN INSPIRATION!
this is great..such much to offer kids comin up..
I have 10 bags of BUTTONS BREW unopened.
RIP Jay and buttons
Buttons has such a wonderful character and the message from Jay that is better to be sober is so right on. Too many prescription drugs going through people's body and its harming them while the pharma companies are making a killing, both in money and the human body.
YOU KNOW WHAT!I JUST REALIZED "MY FREN IS DEAD"🙏LIFE WAS GOOD W/YOU AROUND BRUDDAH,LIFE WAS GOOD...
Hey shit man . Saw your other post. He was my inspiration still is
You need only say Jay Adams. We know who he was from back when, to embellish his name with a movie BASED on Dogtown, though a labour of love for Stacey Peralta, was an episode in time we og crew would rather join Stacey in the "never again" bin. Fact is, Jay Adams RIP, has way enough standing on his name alone.Why not just refer to him as pioneer Dogtown sk8er ? You are catering for the cotton wool gen and kiddies. I lived through the Dogtown era and was a very close friend of Grant "Biff" Murdoch, RIP. Regards from Tuckombil via Alstonville and East Ballina.
my inspiration in skateboarding- Jay Adams
My inspiration in surfing - Buttons
in the same video together! thats crazy
Looking good guys--keep it up--one day at a time--God Bless
Amen Buttons
It's a lot better sober. Amen
Amen
RIP BUTTONS
that was cool.
god bless... RIP Jay Boy Adams
R.I.P. these two guys changed the way we surfed and skated they won't be forgotten legions
Agreed 100%
great interview. Check out Jay as "Dogface" on my page...
WEO PUT THIS SHIT ON RUclips!!!

Amen to that bro !
@fancymaxrocks haha yeah fool thats actually true.
Button was on the bounty hunter lol they arrested him
Buttons' laugh is awesome
Skate history. See you on the other side ♥️
skateboarding leads to harder crimes
mahalo Buttons Kaluhiokalani vai com deus você vai pegar as melhores ondas lá no céu KANALOA
Absolutely and totally influenced by Buttons, Bertleman, Lopez, Jay Boy, Alva, DogTown etc. in the 1970's.
Helped shape who I became and am eternally grateful!
Mil gracias por vida!
how come no 1000 thumbs up ?
Gave me chills when I read this is out front of teds bakery, we rented a house across the street. Rip to these icons
Buttons and Larry bertalmin was a huge influence. Drugs has its ups and downs.
What's the ups of drugs?
Great to see that your still clean Buttons. You give me hope to stay clean. Addiction kills. God blees you. thanks
Respect and Aloha
@NoLimitzPlz
THE Z-BOYZ BRO HAHA
2 kings of soul
@TheFashionbugs innovate
the LORDS have found the answer! kewl!
Why does Jay have that one really big nostril?
Drugs, that's why. Back in the 70's it ruined a lot of people's bodies and minds, some didn't make it out alive...
thats some good shit
@tbone2872 prob from the drugs.
plenty Aloha nui to these 2 extraordinary men....rest in heaven boyz 🤙🏽🌈🌺🥰❤️
Amen
buttons is the man. good preaching, he was just getting warmed up
J-adans ta pegooooo COcainee!!!!
...good ol reachin for words.... ;
venice 13
LEGENDS!!!
buttons was first to do a 360 on a surfboard?
That's the claim. Buttons was the first one to do a 360 on his board, but until someone comes up with proof and evidence that someone else did a 360 before Buttons until then, Buttons is da man.
ONE LOVE !
Sick shirt Jay! hahah
Ty brothas well said and well timed
awwww, these guys. tear to my eye. nice one! :-) i met up with buttons and his brother from time to time in waiks.
You could never tell that these guys were both junkies at one time.
Life is good when you are sober...

Good point
I miss those two guys rest Peacefully brothers
Yeah buddy, me as well
I'm 53 and i very recently reminisced tube vids as i skated in the uk when it swept everywhere, saved like crazy to get a decent board, anyhow's we knew the epi-centre was California but no idea who the dudes and z boy's were .. thank goodness for youtube as getting to see the backstory from these originators is priceless .. thanks to them, their compadres who made it all happen
Surfers and skaters share so much in common with musicians, and often times they cross over. Both incredibly prone to substance use, ever chasing the high. I speak as a skater and musician. Thank you both so much for your massive contributions to LIFE.
