HISTORY

Snapped this guy as he was about  to paddle out the back at Waimea Bay on a maxing big day back  in Winter ’93. Don’t know his name but he looked like King Neptune with his long rasta hair and huge dive flippers. Hawaii’s Northshore  is full of characters and  hardcore watermen and just the fact he had the balls to paddle out on a boogie was worth recording in my view. Sure beats the stereo type of other bodyboarders back then. Words and Photo Chris Stroh.
