Dane Kealoha, Ben Aipa, Toco, and Killer Taco!

500

good morning. haven’t the waves been great? not too big but perfect for everybody! i’m surfed out and totally sunburned. i’m staying in the shade today. well… maybe not….
**i pick up shin-san and midori-san from their hotel yesterday morning. they give me a cd. i stick it in and on it is all the great songs from the 1970’s. it brought back the “Free Ride” memories with songs like “Many Classic Moments.” we then pull into the ala wai parking lot and who do we see?

Hawaiian legend surfer Dane Kealoha. then i look to the other side and who do i see?

Hawaiian legend shaper/surfer Ben Aipa. what a trip! Dane and Ben were Hawaii’s Icons from the 70’s.

accidents are everywhere. this one happened right in front of me. scary… please drive safe…

thank you Toco for sending me this photo of you, toda-san, and i from the dove party. gosh, that was a great time!!!

and thanks wendell for sending me this photo of a giant tako! this thing can kill me…. scary….
