7:36am Finals Day.

What are we doing? Just enjoying the precious moment!

Contest on at 11am! See you there!

 been loving my Chai Latte Tea recently.   and been loving th food here.  especially the French Toast. check out Tony taking a photo of the leader board.  can you imagine how proud he is to see his son’s name on there??? i walked up to get a closer look   Seth Moniz along with John John Florence and Gabriel Medina still going.  somebody please slap my face and wake me up because i think i’m still dreaming.. Kelia surfed the exhibition heat and did so good!  i love to watch her longboard… and everybody else loves to watch her longboard too. found the best Australian medicine for jellyfish stings!  Stingose works amazing! went to foil in the evening with Tony.  Kai Lenny was out showing us how it’s done.  then came back to see Kelia busy in the kitchen. ate the best homemade meal prepared with love.  thank you Kelia and Ilima for cooking us boys the delicious dinner…

 ever since i arrived on the Gold Coast, i’ve been so confused about the time.  Snapper Rocks is right on the time zone line so one side of the street is different time from the other.   add in jet lag and i’m so confused! pulled up early this morning and Seth was warming up for another superheat.  it was once again down to the wire as we were all nervous.  how in the world did this kid learn to be so calm?  being the heavy underdog and having to preform in front of thousands on the beach and millions online is crazy.   i would throw up.  haha… even after the underdog Seth wins, he’s not that really excited.  i don’t think this kid really knows what he’s accomplishing each day.  he’s freaking already in the quarterfinals!  only 8 of the worlds best surfers remain…  i think Seth has the biggest support group on the beach.  so stoked to see everybody cheering him on.  back to the food here.  it’s amazing!  then it was Kelia’s turn to surf the exhibition heat at Snapper Rocks this afternoon.  it was so cool to see her so gracefully and stylish riding the perfect waves.   in Australia, you better cross the street in a crosswalk.  or if you forget like how i did last night, you will get run over for sure.  last night was the closest i’ve ever came to be hit by a speeding car.  if i didn’t jump in the last minute, i would have been gone forever.   and if you get bit by the most painful jellyfish stings, you better be ready for some big swelling.   the side of my hip is so swollen that i could shape you a heart.  haha..anyway, i’m sleeping on the balcony on the 17th floor overlooking the ocean right now.  as i watch the twinkling stars, i’m really looking forward to finals day tomorrow.  Go-Seth!!!
