Rabbit is one of the Beachboy Kekai brothers who wowed the early crew
from Malibu in the post-war 1940s with their flamboyant arching poses,
kick-stalls and unheard-of antics on planks and hot curls. Never shy
about talking story, "Rabbit" professes to have excelled in everything
from shooting pool to soccer, swimming, spear fishing, sailing, track,
football, you name it. Furthermore, it might be true. His famous
retort to any story you will tell is, "Dat�s nuttin�! " Then he will
proceed to top it, no matter what the subject. One of the most
influential hot-dog surfers in the sport�s young history, Kekai�s goal
was to surf till he was 100-years-old. Although not in the water much
these days, he stays close to it and pays close attention. A truly
classic guy! --Pez
