Moniz: What is Ohana?

537


Billabong just came out with this beautiful video of the Moniz Family. i just watched it and had so many amazing memories. i laughed, and i cried. Tony was like a big brother to me. he pulled me away from my bad habits growing up as a teenager and pointed me in the right direction. he gave me a surfboard and took me surfing big waves on the North shore every day. it worked as i never looked back. Tammy is my big sister. she’s very loving and very caring. our family didn’t have a great childhood past, but we are surely making it up as adults. one of the most loving person you will ever meet. Micah, Kelia, Isaiah, Joshua, and Seth. these kids are like my own kids. each one of them with their own personality, but all of them with big warm hearts. i’ve been with each of these kids since they were born. and now as they are all fine young adults, i couldn’t be any prouder of them than i could possibly be. this video will be replayed over and over in my heart. it truly represents what a family should be and how the ocean played a big role in their lives. so to Tony, Tammy, and the kids, i’ve always been so happy to hear from people from all over the world praising your lifestyle. i love you guys! this is family, this is ohana…

watch this video and listen carefully to the words. an amazing story…
