Wow... Buttons was my hero at 13. Nobody freesurfed like him ! He was so lose and free in the water . He inspired me greatly as a young kid and to this day I remember chomping at the bit to get my next copy of Surfer or Surfing Magazine to open it up and see him and or Larry Bertleman Slotted at Alla Moana . The kind of Spirit and love for the ocean these Hawaiian Pioneers exspresed was the reason why I began surfing back then and the same reason why I surf today . Aloha & Hail Hail Buttons !
Many people talk about how they saw him getting busted for drugs and say negative things bout the man, as jesus said you who is without sin cast the first stone!!! Buttons, Chaka Bra
Buttons you are the cool ruler of the aquatic arts! Yes always a pleasure to watch you surf and thank you for sharing your knowledge with the community. Keep it going on. Solid Automatic
Music at the beginning of this video is Oshen "Salt Water Anthem" The other song is Sashamon "necta" I finally found the music. It was a lot of research.
buttons is the man!..seems like he's getting his life straight.. i seen him at white plains helping the handicaps to surf..so it was pretty cool to seem him there doing that
whats up brtha..dont kno you. I live in h.b cali. Just wanted to say congrats on getting off the shit an surfing again. surfing is the shit huh!best of luck
