Albert “Rabbit” Kekai passed away at 95, in Oahu, Hawaii. He was considered the “living link to surfing’s entire modern history.” Albert Kekai was born in Honolulu, in 1920. He began riding waves at the age of five, when surfboards were rare, even in Hawaii. A few years later, he would improve his surfing skills with Duke Kahanamoku, the father of modern surfing. “Rabbit,” who was also a prolific runner, was one of the first surfers to turn up and down the wave with drop-knee maneuvers.
