guys like Randy Rarrick and others in the water. so stoked to see so many of my friends. all of us was touched one way or another by Rabbit.

even caught a wave with the canoe. so stoked to do the same things Rabbit loved to do. this is hawaiian culture at its finest.

when ever i go to funerals, i always think about how i want mine done. and it would be the same way. friends and family gathering together to say their last goodbye. only tears of joy because that’s all i would want. throwing my ashes back into the ocean where i belong. the perfect end to my perfect life. so please don’t forget that’s how i want it done.
