Yoshiyuki-san on a great wave! this wave doubled up so he was going twice as fast. i was on the side yelling “look forward!!!!!” he rode this one all the way to the wall!
Sanae-san surfed good too! don’t you just love diamond head in the back??? i do.
great job guys! see you again next year!!!
found these photos online and wanted to share it. all the Moniz kids started long boarding as kids. no, they didn’t just jump on a short board, they started on the long board. and that’s the reason they got so good so fast. you can learn much faster the basics on a long board so when it’s time to short board, it’s super easy. check out Joshua Moniz hang 5 at about 5 years old. haha.
Seth Moniz was a little ripper. probably the smallest kid in the world doing tricks like this. just natural talent. and 3 older brothers and 1 older sister pushing him to his limit.
the kids use to win every contest they entered. so my advice to all beginner surfers: start off with a long board. get the basics down, then go shorter little by little. that’s the best way to surf like a champion in less time.
a surfers cake. i love it!
