Scott Bucknell

Scott Bucknell started Race Hawaii in 1984 on Oahu’s North Shore.

He has surfed and shaped surfboards since 1971 in this extreme sport location. While involved with design and manufacturing in surfing, he came upon the idea of using "RACE" for surfboards, events and products while watching the Indianapolis 500 on TV. He quickly realized the name stood for action and speed and should be applied to all sports.

When I think about getting older, soon I start to think about being younger. The beautiful women, perfect waves, good times, good friends, some good golf shots, my favorite dogs, and my children, as they have grown from infants to young men,  are episodes in my life that show me just where I am now.

This is a story about a bit of that.

CHAPTER ONE -MY WORLD

A beautiful Gold rooster ran across the front lawn of my Hawaiian plantation home, situated on Oahu’s North Shore.

SURF’S  UP - JOCKO’S

I knew there was a West swell hitting .  I had checked it at dawn. It wasn’t quite big enough yet, still inconsistent, but the lines were there and the direction showing with indication that it was just a matter of an hour or so.
