Cool clips, I lived a few houses away from Derek in nalo when we were little, he use to come over and play with me and my brother and two older sisters, he was only a year older than me so we went to kailua intermediate and kailua high together. He always was so cool and that smile never left his face. We shared some sic sessions together at Rabbits, V- land, Sandy's,pipelittles,Bowls, and other spots, no matter where, D- man always was DA man to watch. His backside grab rail was so awesome to see, he would angle his front foot on its side letting him contort into the sickest A'ama crab grab in V- Land pits that blew everyone's minds!💥 He helped me to learn it and every time I make it out of a backside barrel I yell " thank you D!😆 Love you and miss you brother, R.I.P my friend, I'll see you again when the Lord calls on me.🍻🕊
Difficult to not shed a tear watching this, what a legend of style and grace in the water, a true hero. Rest in peace and condolences to the Ho family and friends.
Hey Mason...im so Sorry for your loss...i loved see he in NORTH SHORE 87'movie...hawaiian legend Surfer...R.I.P you must be proud and keep the escence of the HO's FAMILY!!!!JAH BLESS and confort your heart and your FAMILY!!!the life IS like that:HIGH TIDES and LOW TIDES...JAHLOHA from Brasil!!!!
There's actually 30 total assholes alive that gave this clip a thumbs down?! Do they even surf? Derek Ho you legend and all the rest of the family are legendary too. These videos always put a smile on my face, so thank you. Aloha x
I am about the same age as Derek and I met him at a contest. He was great and I still perplexed at his speed and flow for a video on Wave Watch, our connection here in OC in the age before anything internet. I also think he was the pioneer of the direct drop in at pipe without a stall, which everyone does today. Credit where credit is due. RIP legendary man.
Legends are LEGENDS. I never met him personally but just by the look in the pics and videos of him, I can tell he is one of those legends and who stand humble, truthful and honest. Enjoy surfing for an eternity!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My condolences to the Ho family and friends, I'm so sorry for your loss. To be respected as much as Derek was at Pipe says a lot. Beautiful style, beautiful smile he will truly be missed but never forgotten.
I was so proud of you Derek Ho when you won your world title. You made all Hawaii proud, and the world, too! You will be missed, and I hope you are doing well on your new journey. Aloha 'oe!
I loved watching this guy surf back in the early 80's. He was my favorite surfer back then. I'm sorry to hear of his passing. My prayers with the Ho family. Looks like he enjoyed every single wave he surfed. Awesome! R.I.P. Derek Ho🙏🍻
Growing up in Hawaii in the 90's surfing it was always Derek Ho who inspired me to charge pipe... We are all going to miss your style and grace Uncle. RIP
I was about 16 years old and all my friends was from Papakolea, and one of those friends was Pocho Ahina.. Pocho did pretty good with pro surfing and I was invited to a Gotcha Pro Party in town... So I show up to his hotel room and when I get inside Derek and Michael are sitting in the living room talking story checking out a bunch of new boards and I got to hang out with The Ho brothers that night & I had one of the greatest nights of my Grom years growing up. I'll never forget it🤙 " nā hoʻomanaʻo maikaʻi e ʻakaʻaka iaʻu - Lucien -
WOW WOW WOW - what an absolute priveladge and honor watching this about him.. well done for putting this beautiful piece together - what an incredible way to honor this man and show his legacy!!! He chardeg hard and led the way for many!! RESPECT!!!
I never met Derek Ho, but he and his surfing was always very important to me. I'm goofy footed and I really took notice of his style. God bless him and God bless your whole family. I'm sorry for your loss.
I had a heat with Derek, Michael and Brock little in 1989 at the Gotcha pro chun's Reef. Needless to say I was very intimidated as a 18 year old Florida boy. Derek must have saw that in me because he was very cool and encouraged me during the heat. I was blown away by how cool he was to me and I will never forget it. RIP Derek and Brock!!!!
growing up landlocked, GOTCHA was the clothing at the mall, was into it, tho I never was driven to surf myself. Happy boogie boarding. Yeah Derek rules, finally seeing all this footage of him. He & Island Classics have been burned in my brain since 89. The take off on the red board, it shows he is the dude!!!!
Crazy watching him in these Pipeline vids. He doesn't fight the wave just hits his bottom turn and eases into a barrel like he's walking into a 7-11. So smooth
Love the tribute guys! He was such an amazing man! Gone way too soon! Sometimes God just needs the good ones sooner than we’d like! RIP Uncle D. Ps… I saw a picture the other day of him, probably late 20’s and wow how him and Mason looked identical! 🏄♂️ 🌊 🤙
I was on the Kailua high surf team with him. We where all out at rocky point, I think it was one of our first contests. I remember taking off on a wave and seeing Derek coming down the line. If I remember right I dropped in on him totally by accident. I paddled back out and got destroyed by a breaking wave and broke my leash and my board went into the rocks. Until we meet again much respect and sadness.
Hard to believe that such a fit and agile cat is no longer here. Looks like he should have lived forever. As for Mason and Coco, having dad and uncle to teach them probably didn't hurt!
the first time I met Derek Ho. 87 or 88 summer during the O.P. Pro I was working behind the counter at Chuck Dent's. He comes walking in and ask me where Fig is, it took me what seem like forever to answer him. I was star struck, he was my surfing hero. R.I.P. (rip in paradise) Derek
Ha. Place is def a washing machine for drug money. They have been open a year and there’s never anyone in there. Rent has to be at least 15k right there.
As a goofy grom, Derek Ho was one of my heroes, and my bedroom walls were plastered with posters of him at pipe... A part of my youth died with him for sure... So sad... Loads of love for his family & friends.
Got something in my eye at 3:14 .. RIP to a LEGEND. Staying up late at night watching H30 on some random cable sports channel in the 90s as a kid I got to see so much of him. Never been to the islands but the Ho family has been a big part of my surfing life.
Rest in peace to the Legend Mr. Ho prayer go out to the entire Ho family thank you for all the memories surf stories that I had the pleasure of reading and all the video clips I have seen of the Sensei of of the North Shore. RIP from a inner city locked Surfer.
Dis guy... i cant hang w him at pipe, but everytime Im surfing and he paddles out is like the ocean answers, the waves go exactly where he sits and vice versa. Few people are like that. Rest in peace uncle D.... Aloha. Mean video
I landed on you guys from Ben Gravy, good souls draw good people, I’m from Oklahoma and don’t see very many waves but I do ride bulls...and I don’t have the balls to ride a wave like you boys. Cheers and aloha. Much respect to Derek, rest easy good sir.
He was and will always be the essence of the aloha spirit , being few years younger has made me realize to live and little better and love little harder Rest In Peace legend 😎🌞
Rest in Peace Uncle D. He will forever leave a print on the community. Such pure stoke and energy right until the end, man will continue to inspire for time to come. All the love to the Ho family and friends
Thank you guys. Grew up watching your Uncle and Pop surf in Surfer, Surfing, videos, and contests on tv. This video gave me a more personal look. I'm grateful.
Derek Ho is the true essence of Soul Surfing, A Soul Surfer in every way, shape and form. Something that gravitates naturally to those who are in touch spiritually with everyone and everything around them..this world could not offer you anymore than it could give to someone so deserving, so see you in paradise where the waves go forever just like the memories you have left with us from around the world 🌎 H♾ !
some sweet 12 minutes thank u for posting this video. Derek on an Island Classics board has been my idea of surfing since I saw his perfect 10 pipeline. So it’s been a thing in mind since 89. Never thought to surf, I boogie board. An ic board was placed in my path, needs tlc. I’m going to see if I can ride it. Venice CA is a place to learn. Seeing Derek take off on top is inspiring.
This bradda has a unique style of surfing! Badass! From when we was hana butta days! Bradda, you went pave da way for so many younger generation surfers! Love & Aloha Always my bradda!
Every and each one of my friends grew up idolizing this guys since the early 1980's brah. Hard to pass up that ledgend. Who would want to even try anyway. Go uncle all the way

I don’t know much about surfing but that was sick. Sorry you lost your dad
Nice !
The first Hawaiian world champ, Rest In Peace🙏🏽

Catching barrels in heaven
Hard to believe that such a fit and agile cat is no longer here. Looks like he should have lived forever. As for Mason and Coco, having dad and uncle to teach them probably didn't hurt!
Good spirit emanates from this production.
What is the name of tbe music, please?
I should know it, but i do not.
Thank you
Miss you Uncle 🙌🏾
Uncle D! The Man
the first time I met Derek Ho. 87 or 88 summer during the O.P. Pro I was working behind the counter at Chuck Dent's. He comes walking in and ask me where Fig is, it took me what seem like forever to answer him. I was star struck, he was my surfing hero. R.I.P. (rip in paradise) Derek
@All Time Productions Mike Ho? Noah Budroe?
I live around the corner from what used to be chuck dent. Now it’s something called the “blow bar” where girls get their hair blow dried. Silly times
@@KC-dw9ky haven't been downtown in awhile, are the men's services in the back of this bar?
Ha. Place is def a washing machine for drug money. They have been open a year and there’s never anyone in there. Rent has to be at least 15k right there.

Loads of love for his family & friends.
That first barrel/balancing act at pipe says it all; Derek was a legend. What a great family. RIP Derek.
Yeah, anyone else would’ve got swatted. Shows what kind of relationship he had with Pipeline. All love.
