After surfing, I walked over to the house where my family were staying at. My grandnephew was getting ready to bodyboard Pipeline! Haha. While I was in the yard, I felt something so familiar, yet so different. 
OMG, this was the Dove House! Tokura-san use to rent it out for the Dove Team Riders year after year. All of us riders stayed here and we had the biggest parties ever! You could see Pipeline from the front yard and it was prime beach front property. The only thing different was the house. They built a huge house so that’s why it felt different. Gosh, so many memories came back!
It’s funny because I use to bring my Nephews to the Dove House all the time. Then we’d go play on the beach just like this.
There is a nice natural pool right in front. The perfect place for kids to play.
I enjoy watching the Moniz kids next generation taking the right steps to become watermen. It’s cool because they have no idea how famous their parents are. 
This is the view from the Dove House. Every morning we’d start here, surf Pipeline/Backdoor, and end here. Everybody use to gather here, listen to music, drink beers, eat lobsters, and talk about the day. Next day we’d do the same thing. That was 30 years ago. Those were the golden days…
