April 26, 2023 Hawaii Surf Report
Learning in Progress
The beach was pretty crowded this morning. Mixed in with the locals were competitors practicing for the upcoming Hawaii State Championship Surfing contest at Bowls. A lot of aggressiveness going on in the ocean. 
Chest high sets and perfect conditions. There must have been a hundred surfers scattered from Rockpiles to Bowls. 
The winds were still light so I went to check Diamond Head. OMG, perfect waves and beautiful weather. I couldn’t resist it! 
It felt so good to be in the ocean for the second time today.
Surf in the morning and foil in the afternoon. I’m in love with Hawaii!
Small foil today so a lot more faster and radical. Faster speeds means harder wipeouts. I’m still learning…
The Road to Greatness!
The Moniz kids grew up in a very competitive way. Everything they did was a competition. That taught them how to win, how to lose, and how to become great. 3 out of 5 already became World Champions. So now the bloodline continues. These kids are having their own kids so I’m excited what other kind of World Champions are on the way.
Honouliwai is Kelia’s son. He started skateboarding when he was 1 year old. He also started riding a bicycle at 1 year old. And of course surfing at 1 year old too. Now he’s 2 years old and riding a dirt bike. NO, not an electric toy one, a REAL one! 
When Kelia sent me this video, I couldn’t believe it. But shortly after, I believed it. Honouliwai is special. He’s talented, brave, confident, smart, and already acts like a teenager. When Kelia was 7 years old I predicted her becoming a World Champion. She doubled down on that. Now I’m predicting her son to be a World Champion in whatever he pursues. Let’s all watch it happen!
And with the support of family and friends, anything is possible. Look at his Dad Joe and Grandpa Tony chasing him and telling him to slow down. And he’s only 2 years old! Haha. Go-Honouliwai!
THE ROAD TO GREATNESS…
