[27] Ken Tanaka Boogie Boarding Waikiki "Walls"

This is a video of Ken Tanaka boogie boarding with me at Waikiki "Walls." I accidentally met him while bodyboarding in Waikiki and he told me a most incredible tale. He says he came to Hawaii to not only vacation but to search for his birth parents. You see, he says he was born in Los Angeles but adopted by Japanese parents and raised in Japan! He speaks fluent Japanese but broken English. For more on his saga of searching for his parents, check out his series of videos, starting with this one:
