Growing up in the 70s and 80s surfing Kaisers, I will always remember paddling out through the channel. Buttons taking off from the outside long shot right peak, 4 – 6 foot afternoon during the summers, bottom turn, snap off the top, race to the inside bowl, floater off the top, switch stance in the lip, land it backside no problem, race to the shoulder switch stance again layback snap, then kick out. Smiling the whole time. My surfing idol. A hui hou, Butts.

2 me, Buttons on a crowded perfect overhead Kaisers afternoon ,pulling into one the sickest barrels I've ever seen on a tanker ,no less! laughing,encouraging the lineup to GO! this was 1977 and to this day I can remember how great the vibe was all because of cousin Buttons. What memories I have as a grom being in the water watching Buttons style and flow. He was Incredible …..
