@msbixy accually thats what he does now... hes a surf instrutor, i accually see him alot hes really chill... im not gonna say what beach its at cause its crowded enough as it is and i dont wanna make it more crowded
I had a chance to surf with Buttons near Haleiwa about a month ago and I'm still stoked. He's a great surfer and an even greater guy. Check out his surf school when you're visiting Hawaii and you'll be glad you did.
1st break was near diamond head 2nd at sandys but whereʻs the 3rd? bowls? anyways buttons is cool he chills at the ala wai alot. i parked next to him one time.
This dude is an ICON in the surfing world and at one time really brought the sport to the major market. He's more known around the worldwide than ANY CLOWN POSTING ON HERE. I know of him and I live in MISSISSIPPI. People make mistakes and that's the great thing about SECOND CHANCES IN LIFE. Happens in the human race everyday! Funny how anyone that has something negative to say is coming to watch buttons' vids. Anyone can type on the internet but can you do what we all just witnessed?
I never tried surfing but i like it. i heard about him after watching dog the bounty hunter and heard of how much he was a legend and the things he has done for surfing and he is amazing. i am not saying bad things about him because i seen him on dog but everybody is allowed to live their own life.
My childhood hero, and now my adult hero. Hey, like millions others he got caught up. But he is back, and how mnay guys his age can still even ride boards like that. Most are on 6'10" cruiser boards and thats fine too. But Buttons is a ledgend. I still ride my T&C Bertlemann Twin and im 44. Everyone has the right to be wrong sometimes. And whats important is how we handle our set backs. Buttons, You the man brah! You inspired this haole, and still do! Stay up!
wat song is this?

buttons....what a freakin legend!
he was my hero in the 70s (especially in ''super session'' the surf movie).
no-one could match him for style back then. to pull of those turns he must have super grip in those 'double jointed toes' of his....
hell yeah...and the man is still ''fully buffed'' at his age (im 48 so hes gotta be about 55 these days yeah?)
i know hes using this small board for tricks ....but shit man...get a bigger board too.

This comment has received too many negative votes show
i dont think he surfs all that great.
he surfs so stiff, but the twin fin could be to blame.
the 360 was frikkin nuts, but other than that, weak sauce.
his snaps looks like a chicks doing it.
maybe its cus hes hyped on so much batu lately. i seen him at bowls and thats what he looks like now days. all cracked up and shet.
