This guy (John Zabotacky) apparently has been beach boy surfing for 60 years. He is coming up to his 60th wedding anniversary and is 89yo at time of filming. (From the Pohaku beachboy paddles site)

That's fantastic. Really something to aspire to. I wish I could paddle that well now, let alone when I'm 80.

... so is probably 80 plus.


The video says he is 89 and it's been out for awhile.
He may be NINETY plus, now.
Anyone feeling too tired and sore to paddle?
I'd like to see the look in his eyes when he hears that one.
Old people RULE.
