i was supposed to go to France to watch Seth surf the WCT but after checking flights and my schedule, i knew i wouldn’t have made it on time. so instead, i’ll be following him closely online. here is round 3 and now that he’s back in the real ocean, this kid is hard to beat. this is what you call “connecting with the ocean!” if there is a barrel, Seth will find it…Seth broke his board in his heat but when you can be as calm as he is, it’s not a problem. good to see Coach Rainos on the beach fully prepared with Seth’s backup board. super professional…i was watching so nervously. and when the heat finished with Seth on top, i was screaming! this is a huge heat win for Seth because Connor Coffin and Kelly Slater both lost. so that means Seth will move up for Olympic qualification…i can’t tell you how proud i am of this kid. in Hawaii, he’s just a normal Hawaiian kid, but around the world, he’s a superstar! i was watching his post heat interview and then…from behind, i see the Hawaiian clan rush the interview from behind and start screaming! Kelia Moniz screaming her head off and Seth was freaking out. haha. he actually looked scared… good thing i wasn’t there because it would have been double loud. haha…Seth loves his family, friends, and fans. and when everyone is cheering for him, he takes that power and wins heat after heat…hey Seth, sorry Uncle couldn’t make it. but i will be watching every single heat you surf and will be screaming louder than Kelia. haha. i’m so proud of you and your smile. keep representing the family and Hawaii just like you have. positive and calm. see you in round 4. love you boy!
