13TH ANNUAL RABBIT KEKAI INTERNATIONAL LONGBOARD SURFING CLASSIC
ASSOCIATION OF SURFING PROFESSIONALS (ASP) MEN'S WORLD LONGBOARD CHAMPIONSHIPS

The Association of Surfing Professionals International Ltd. the 13th Annual Rabbit Kekai International Long board Surfing Classic 2006 ASP Men's World Long board Championship.

Held at Boca Barranca, Costa Rica from June 21 to June 30, 2006 the event featured the best riders from the long boarding world stage in what is universally recognized as one of the world's premier long boarding. Costa Rica Natural was one of the major sponsors.
Born in 1920, Rabbit Kekai came into surfing at a time when the sport was barely two decades "new", having been revived from near-extinction shortly after the turn of the century. Duke Kahanamoku still ruled the beach at Waikiki and it, itself, reigned supreme as the epicenter of wave riding. The major influences on early modern surfing were guys like Dad Center, Dudie Miller, John D. Kaupiko and were not only still around, but at their prime. And, importantly for Rabbit, being a beachboy was the closest thing you could find to a life dedicated to the surf.
The abundant legends that surround him testify to his stature as an authentic folk hero," wrote C.R. Stecyk for a profile on Rabbit in a 1994 edition of The Surfer's Journal. "Hawaiian history has traditionally been passed down in oral narratives. To focus on the veracity of the countless Rabbit stories of romantic conquest, martial arts conflicts and incredible sports feats is to miss the point of the man. Rabbit is a legend who thrives in the present. He is in the water daily, and in the finals of most contests he participates in. More importantly, his labors as a coach helps to bring traditional skills to the current generation. Kekai's devotion to his charges is such that he's been known to recycle his own contest trophies just so that the local kids could have decent prizes for their event."
