Love the pic'.

There is a nature/bird reserve just around the corner from Cape Saint Francis. I dunno, some reason like VERY deep water just off shore then hits the sandbars. Woooo, a very heavy duty wave. All the local boys were nature enthusiasts so the could have a key to get into the reserve LOL

Montgomery Ernest Thomas Kaluhiokalani 1958-2013

Known as 'Buttons', this beautiful man from Hawaii was the single fin maestro we used to look to in the 1990s when everyone was seduced by pointy nosed, banana-rockered 2 inch thick 'thrusters' and that ugly style of surfing they encourage. Because Buttons could do anything (and more) on his 1970's shapes, the freedom of no leg rope made it even more joyful to watch. As we get more into surfing we realise that it isn't about the board or even really the wave, it is about the soul of the rider, their sensitivities, their character and their dance; the oneness with the gyro-energy that is a wave and how they interact with it.
