super stoked pulling up to the beach early this morning and still seeing the full moon. the waves were glassy, the waves were overhead, and the waves were super consistent. another perfect surf day in hawaii! went surfing with my friend from japan and he surfed until he couldn’t paddle anymore. over 100 duck dives with rubbery arms. we surfed for almost 3 hours and we were hungry.

hey Seth, ever since you were 2 years old, i use to watch your older brothers picking on you. you were the smallest but a super fierce competitor. even though you were half the size of everybody else, you wouldn’t give up. i watched you grow up becoming very competitive, very smart, a very humble. i already predicted you will be a champion before you even started surfing so i’m not surprised at your big win today. i always believed in you and will still believe in you with everything you choose to do in life. take this win in your last amateur contest, and go out there and take down the big boys. i know you can, and i know you will. we are very proud of you and i’m sure all the hawaiians are too. thanks for bringing home the National Championship in your brothers footsteps. see you when you get back. another championship party i won’t miss.
