Kelia Moniz: Style is Everything!

216

Kelia surfed with Seira-chan many times so she’s been watching her progress.  and she was very impressed how good Seira-chan got.  so while we were out, i asked Kelia to give her some advice.  and like the sweet girl she is, she said “of course.”

the amazing thing about Seira-chan is she listens carefully.  and that’s the main reason why she gets good so fast.  so when Kelia was teaching her how to do a better cross step, i already knew there would be speedy results.

next wave, Seira-chan’s cross step went from good to great!  very impressive…

Kelia is 2x World Champion for a reason.  surfing to her is very natural and very smooth.  not too many people can hang 10 like this…

filming this girl ever since she was 1 year old.  loved it then, and still loving it now…

on our last wave, i rode on the side and watched Seira-chan do her beautiful cross steps taught to her by Kelia Moniz.  i was so happy to see this perfect style!

Kelia told me that Seira-chan has a really great style.  she said that’s most important.  and that’s coming from someone that was voted “Best style surfer” in 2019.  and i totally agree because i believe “style is everything!”
