When Seth Moniz was a little kid, I use to call him up and tell him where to meet me. He would always show up no matter how big or small the waves were. On this particular day, Velzyland was as good as it gets. If you surfed Velzyland before, you know how hollow and thick these double up waves are. Seth would paddle in to these waves and make it look so easy. It was this raw talent of reading the waves and taking off at the most critical spot that made him a Pipeline/Backdoor specialist he is today. That is 100% confidence.
Then after surf, I would take the kids out for a meal. Shun Murakami and Seth Moniz. The cutest kids ever! And now 14 years later, both surf superstars!
