Hawaii World Champion Surfer/Model KELIA MONIZ ケリア・モニーツ

374

japan was snowing yesterday in tokyo so guess what that means? huge waves in 5 days. probably 15-20′ swell on the 19th. and if you know where to surf in town, you could score perfect little waves with little people out. i’ve been having so much fun!

a lot of people don’t know the freediving world. it’s like no other. to be able to travel the world surfing and diving is a dream life. i shot this photo of Kyle Nakamoto in Palau last march. the water was clean, the fish were there, and so were the angry aggressive sharks. freediving is part of our lives. to be able to go into another world is something else. the other day on my first drop, i dove 35′ and stayed down for 2 minutes. the fish were all around me and i didn’t want to come up. lying on the bottom of the ocean is total peace. i miss it already.

here is my ice box for this week. when you dive in hawaii and catch red fish, you had a great day. my boat is ready, my guns are ready, my mind is ready, and i’m ready. the next time i get a chance to dive, i’m taking it. see you in the underwater world.
last, if you haven’t seen this video yet, you don’t know what you’ve been missing. Mason Rose made this video for Kelia Moniz’s victory party. and when Mason told me that night that i can use it exclusively on go-naminori, i was super stoked! i guarantee you this video will have a million views within a year. thanks for watching, and thanks for the comments. and thank you Honey Girl Eri-chan for the japanese translations. enjoy!
