Surfing Hawaii: Let’s Meet my Famous Family!

254

we got to the parking lot and one of my friends told me that Seth Moniz was there.  and since Mama and Papa Iwata-san are big fans, i had to introduce them.  i was so happy to see Seth back in Hawaii.  i miss this kid… then it was time for Boot Camp.  Mama is one of the most powerful Mama’s i know.  so active, so energetic, and so happy!   glad you enjoyed the ride… Papa is more genki than ever.  he’s been mental training before coming back to Hawaii so surfing is almost too easy for him. Seth is super famous now so he has fans all over the world.  but even though he’s busy, he always makes the time to say hi.  this is a big part i love about him.  Mama and Papa were super stoked!  surfing with Seth Moniz?  serious???  haha…a few more rides that will last till next year. and always ending our session with the perfect wave.  when we were paddling in, Mama told me it would be nice if she could meet Kelia Moniz someday… and guess what?  right when we came in, guess who walked down to the beach?  yup, Kelia Moniz!  and once again, i never planned this, it’s all natural…. moments like this are totally priceless…  memories forever… since Mama and Papa follow my blog, they know a lot about Seira-chan.  they were watching her surfing today and Papa said she looks like a ballerina dancing on the water.  so calm, and so beautiful.  i agree.  and Seira-chan was super happy to see Seth today, and Kelia again!  lucky girl…then we went off to the east side.  that story coming tomorrow… then on the way back, we stopped at Diamond Head to check the waves.   omg, it was amazing!  i went home, took a nap, woke up before dark, and headed back. caught 3 waves and i was totally satisfied.  a very long day but a very happy day.  thank you everybody involved for making it so special…yes, my drive home was very happy and i think somebody lit the sky on fire!
