Surfing is my life, the rest are details…

Good morning 5:45am.
New South Swell coming up!
Ala Moana shoulder high and so good!
Diamond Head head high and fun.
Trade winds at 20mph.
Sunny and warm day.
Going surfing!
Have a wonderful day!

another amazing day with an amazing Father and Daughter. Matsumoto-san is a super strong and solid man. it was only his 2nd time surfing and he was flowing so well.

Matsumoto-san plays tennis and i bet he’s super good because he has the will and competitive spirit!

16 year old daughter Kei-chan did great too. this girl was so smooth and surfed with perfection. so stoked to see her smiling on her first wave!

nice wave, nicer smile…

great balance for this great tennis player. now he’s a real surfer too!

gosh, i love this photo! the ocean, the wave, and the girl. all so beautiful!

thank you Matsumoto-san and Kei-chan for the amazing morning. i’ll see you guys soon for more amazing surf!

then took the energetic Nao-san surfing right after lunch. while i was digesting my pho, Nao-san was feasting on the waves. cool drone shot!

was so nice to come home and see Mateus at my house for a sleepover. yeah! so i give him some of my turtle bread.

after one bite, he says “Unko Kurby, this is so good!” haha. this kid makes me so happy! love you Mateus!

opps, forgot to post this last night. probably fell asleep before i could click on the publish button. sorry…

could you imagine how much pressure is on the line at huge career changing events like this? all of us family and friends are all stressed out, but guess who is the most calm? yes, Seth. haha.

no matter who ends up winning the contest, Seth Moniz stole the show. this air will be on the highlight reel forever. here’s the replay.

no, Seth doesn’t have glue on his feet.

i always teach people to become ONE with your surfboard. this is what you call becoming ONE with your surfboard.

from here, there is no possible way to pull something like this off. good try though.

this is where the crowd went silent because everybody thought Seth fell.

then the kid pops up and completes the nearly impossible air. the crowd erupts!

that’s my boy! i’m so proud of this kid!

even Benji, my sister, and Joshua were in disbelief. haha.

my sister was so stoked she started to bang the pole so hard! haha. i never seen her this excited before. Seth ended up winning the heat and a lot of surfers hearts around the world.
