Waikiki Beach Boy Legend Rabbit Kekai passed away peacefully this morning.

I will always remember him at my very first contest 20+ years ago. He yelled at me "Hey !!". I was scared and not knowing what to do in the contest area and here some guy is yelling at me. He then tossed me a bar of wax and smiled. I knew I would be okay from then on.

Aloha Uncle Rabbit. Sayonara Usagi-san.

While disappointing to see an iconic surfer pass away, at age 95 he revered for high-performance surfing and longevity.
