I was fortunate to meet Kimo later in life surfing out at Pyramids ..He said very little out in the lineup but when I happened to be at the shower at the beach park when he came in he would have plenty to say..
I'll always remember, to this day,him taking off on the biggest wave of the set...RIP Kimo

Kimo was one of our dearest friends. He sat silently by us as we ..(.the haoule's) ...waited for the big one at our outer reef break.. He sat alone contemplating the horizon. We sat there contemplating Kimo. After ten year of silence, sitting, he did one morning nod. From then on we were solid. We loved him. We miss him. We so appreciated his need for solitude in the surf. We treasure the years we surfed with him at Hammerheads. A humble giant. Damn we miss you brother!!. RIP. Alison and Bill Brundage ( a get well card we sent to him years ago )
