rabbit kekai~90 year old "toes on the nose" longboard surf legend






















"Well, my dream is to surf as long as I can. Everybody ask me and I say, ‘Hey, I’m looking at a hundred.’ They laugh but that’s my thing, to keep surfing and keep competing and see how far I can go."

I like Rabbit's philosophy on life.
Still surfing at 90 is really incredible!
What an inspiration he is!

hello,
Is there any way I could get a copy of the photo of Rabbit on his board (as JPEG)?
Mahalo,
Teia

Hi Teia~ you didn't leave your email address so i hope you get this reply...
I "borrowed?/used? that pic of Rabbit on the surfboard from surf.transworld.net/.../
I'm not really sure who took this photo..maybe justin cote is the photog. I'm new at this blog, so i probably should have mentioned i was using photo (like i do now)...most of the pic on my blog(99%) are taken by me..the pic of Rabbit at the table was taken by me (i'm not a professional photog and wanted a beautiful pic of Rabbit). Sorry, Teia...i hope this helps!

maybe you can contact someone from "toes on the nose" website. I'm sure they will be more helpful :)

Thanks for the response -- I'll try them again (they never respond at Toes and I've found them very rude in the past).
Ciao!
