Tsunami Surf and Sport

to all my brothers..

~ Uncle Buffalo Keaulana ~ THIS IS ALOHA! Commanding Hawaiian surfer from Makaha, Oahu; winner of the 1960 Makaha International, and often referred to as the "M...ayor of Makaha." Keaulana was born (1935) in Honolulu, and moved with his family to Makaha, on Oahu's west side, at age five. He learned to surf as a child at Waikiki, and made his first board by taking a machete to a blank assembled from glued-together railroad ties. Keaulana worked as a Waikiki beachboy in the '50s and earned the nickname "Buffalo" by friends due to a large head covered in copious amounts hair the color of adobe, he was considered one of Hawaii’s most naturally-talented surfers. Richard Buffalo Keaulana Patriarchal Hawaiian Surfer/Lifesaver and Son of Makaha: "It’s good to be the Mayor of Makaha, especially when you’ve given rise to a West Side dynasty now in its third generation." He learned to surf in the gentle rollers off Waikiki, eventually graduating to the level of beachboy during the 1950s. His smooth style, switch-stance skills and nose for the pocket made him an annual favorite at the Makaha International contest, an event he won in 1960 (Keaulana captured six top four finishes in the contest between 1957 and 1965). He is built with the sturdy frame of a Polynesian warrior. #BuffaloKeaulana #HawaiianSurfer #Makaha #Oahu #Westside #WaikikiBeachboy #Buffalo #SavingLives #PolynesianWarrior #808pride #Hokulea #TokyoOlympics2020 #HawaiianPride
