The Key to Life
The waves at Steamer Lane are breaking a big January swell. A lone surfer braves the middle peak, but keeps getting mowed over by the outside sets that send mountains of white water over him. It draws George Kahumoku Jr., one of Hawaii’s preeminent slack key guitarists, to the edge of the salty rail. The soon-to-be setting sun positively glows on his big round face and, thrilled, he points to the surfer and says he used to surf waves like this in Hawaii. |
