just came across this while looking for surfing vid.. was about to grab a drink too :(

a little heavy but the man is a legend.

Good clip with a good message.If you ever want to see good footage of him theres a flick called Playgrounds in Paradise that was around 1980 I think. Plenty of footage of Buttons and other young Hawaiians .

I agree man he was a legend, so far ahead of his time, it was a shame the hi life got the most of him. He absolutely ripped!!

I met Buttons in Noosa a few years ago,he was doing a signing at Noosa Longboards and the next night he was setted on the next table so we joined the tables together,super nice bloke and he was a hero of mine growing up,so it was cool.
