Buttons, Off The Wall 1975

Off The Wall, North Shore, Hawaii, 1975

Montgomery Ernest “Buttons” Kaluhiokalani surfing Off The Wall on the North Shore during one of the most electric periods in Hawaiian surfing.

Known simply as Buttons, he brought a kind of freedom and invention into surfing that felt completely his own — fast, loose, playful and radical. His surfing helped open up a new language of movement, especially in freesurfing, where style, risk and instinct could lead the way.

Photographed by Peter Crawford, this image captures Buttons riding without a leash, wearing Da Huey shorts and surfing an Ipa board from the early stinger era — a short-lived but influential design moment between the single-fin years and the rise of the twin fin.

A wild and beautiful archival image of one of surfing’s great natural talents.
