Conrad Canha, said to be the "father of hot dog surfing", passed away recently on the east side of Oahu. If you were to ask any '50s - '60s Hawaii surfer "Who's the best at pushing through whitewater?", the answer would invariably be "Conrad".
Conrad was possibly the most unpretentious guy in the lineup at Ala Moana, happily sharing waves and pretty much always wearing a smile.
RIP Conrad
