Longboard Mike Rex Inverness

A loner with nothing but a battered up surfboard and a bike cobbled together from discarded parts, Longboard Mike lives a simple life of minimalism and loneliness. Living like a hermit on a secluded Hawaiian beach, his life revolves around surfing the distance reef where few others dare. Days became weeks, months and years and he convinces himself he is content. A chance meeting with a young surfer begins to profoundly change Longboard Mike's life. The surfer is agile, strong and he disappears unexpectedly from time to time. When he returns his troubled eyes hold secrets. A soldier, long ago forgotten, lives silently and unobserved in the Hawaiian forest. He moves with the stealth and invisibility of a predator. He entertains himself observing Longboard Mike and his nontraditional life. PFC Shigeo Matsumoto finds him curious as he watches from the dark shadows of the forest near Mike's hut.
