Kerouac in Shorts : Miki "Da Cat" Dora.
“Real secrets will get you dead. I always forget to remember anything. I am a waterlogged, sun-baked old surf bum and that act always ends the inquisition. I wanted to be left alone. So I left alone. Now I don’t want anything.” -The Black Knight of Malibu. Badass. Legend. Miki Dora. Respect.

Legend
DORA LIVES!!!
Crucifixion of surfer! Great idea! :))
Dora is enough of a legend in his own right. He does not need to be compared to that barney Kerouac.
it's a bit taken from a quote describing Dora...
I guess that makes me the barney.
Miki mentored Bunker in the fine art of image
jcrew for gap
longboarding is the new snakeboarding
(miki cut 2 feet off his longboard in 1969)
Right...
i would pay 10000 dollars to bring miki back to life to see the look on his face walking into saturdays surf shop
Ha. That would be priceless. He'd probably shit on the floor and throw one of the baristas through the window before pissing lighter fluid on the $75 bracelets and torching the whole thing to the ground with a vintage zippo lighter.
Amazing video. Thanks for share with us.
