“The first time I surfed anywhere else but there [White Plains] was Makaha.  We rarely went into Waikiki so that was the next spot I surfed.  I can remember the first time going out there I probably was about 12 or so, a young kid, and I remember Buff coming down a wave and just taking his board as I was paddling out and turning it over in front of me and I was just like ‘Wow.’  It’s wild because he is one of the first great surfers I ever remembered.”  Little did Fox know that he would one day compete in Buffalo Keaulana’s surfing classic, and develop some life long friendships with Keaulana’s family and friends.
