legend hawaiian surfer Ben Aipa is a world known name. he’s coached world champions throughout the years. to see him out surfing at the age of 74 is amazing! Ben was my shaper back in the 1980’s, and also my surfing coach. i remember meeting him down the beach day after day at kewalos or diamond head. a very strict, talented, and smart man, which equals to a great coach.
