i was at the dining table the other night with Kelia and we had a very nice adult talk. i was listening to her and i couldn’t believe how mature she is. very smart, very clever, and very ambitious. but most of all, very sweet.
looking back at our trip to Bali a few years ago, this was the highlight. Kelia said she wanted to foil so we went foiling.
it was her very first time on a foil but she didn’t look nervous at all. she was riding my board which was way too big for her, but she didn’t care. that was 1000% confidence. 
i actually thought she was going to get hurt but on her first wave, she popped up very easily and kept on riding and riding. then she said “take me to the outside and tow me into a wave!!!” what? really???
yes, really! us boys were in the channel watching Kelia on her first foil wave on her first try at foiling. if you ask any of my foiler friends, none of them will believe because it was impossible for us to do that. well, Kelia Moniz doesn’t believe in the word impossible. if you tell her she can’t do something, she will do it. thanks to her 4 brothers pushing her to her limits her entire life…
