Back then, there weren't a lot of homes around and it was a short hitchhike to the beach at Newport. I was back in the water all the time. |
Buffalo was my hero when I was growing up in Waikiki. It was kind of cool to be inducted with him into the Walk of Fame. |
It didn't matter then, and it doesn't matter now ---- it's all surfing and it's all fun. |
Waikiki was unbelievable during the 1950s. There was virtually nobody there, only the rich people that came in from California. We had it all to ourselves. |
