I've been putting up some posts on Facebooks Legendary Surfers. Nothing I haven't put up here before, but thought it was worth reposting.
Rabbit Kekai poster. Got to know Rabbit when I helped out at amateur and pro surfing contests. He had lots of tall tales and dirty jokes to share. Loved to compete and entered contests well into his 60s. When kids used to pester him about their heats, he used to yell at them, "Eh, go play on the freeway!" In 2014 he entered a hospice, so I made this poster for him from pictures I'd taken through the decades. Honored that the family kept the poster with him to the end. Rabbit passed on May 13, 2016 at 95. Aloha Rabbit!
