been coaching Aoi here and there. just plugging a few things in his mind little by little. it’s going to be his big contest debut this weekend so trying to fine tune his surfing. so watching him surf this morning really good made me feel super confident going into this big contest. i know he’s ready. i just don’t know if he knows he’s ready. as time nears, he will get pretty nervous. it’s only natural.
i told Aoi after he did this perfect off the lip, “hey, just surf like this and enjoy it. don’t feel the pressure because you have nothing to lose. go into your heat feeling confident and feeling good. i know you can do it!”
Local Motion Maki-san also getting in the practice. work and play. both all good!
went to my sisters house this evening for a dinner party. so good to see so many family and friends enjoying this special day.
Tony Moniz on the grill.
there were 7 tahitians over the house. they are all here for the pro contest at bowls this weekend. so stoked to see the Moniz kids mixing it up with kids from all around the world. forming friendships that will last forever. i get so excited seeing this because i know these precious friendships are so special.
local style. i’m so full!
want to wish my nephew Isaiah Moniz a special happy 22nd birthday. you’ve grown into a very fine young man. wish you the brightest year ahead!
