last night at the Moniz house. \u00a0I was talking to Micah, Joshua, and Seth about my plans of searching for a barrel somewhere in this world. \u00a0I&#8217;ve been wanting to go somewhere and get the best barrels of my life but most spots are way too crowded. \u00a0So when I asked them where Uncle Kirby should go, they all said at once the exact same surf spot. \u00a0A surf spot I&#8217;ve never heard of before. \u00a0They said it&#8217;s not crowded because it&#8217;s super crazy and you will definitely get the biggest and best barrels of your life. \u00a0I wrote the name of the little town located in South America and went straight home to research it. \u00a0Now I know exactly where my next surf trip will be and I&#8217;m very excited about it. \u00a0It&#8217;s far, it&#8217;s expensive, and it&#8217;s for experts only. \u00a0My nephews said I can do it so I&#8217;m going to do it!<\/p>\n<p>OMG, I was so excited that I forgot to say Happy Birthday to Kaira. \u00a0Happy Birthday Kaira!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Round 1: \u00a0It was a beautiful morning. \u00a0When I woke up, I heard the stream behind my house fully flowing with water from
