it's a super cool contest because you cannot be ranked in your division. meaning if you do other contests like HASA and if you are ranked in it, you cannot surf that division.
this rule invites so many kids who don't usually do contests and make this a relaxed fun contest for all.
beautiful weather and the waves were perfect sizes for these kids. well, to some kids some waves were double overhead since kids were all so tiny. ha ha
here's a girl ripping. can you imagine how she's gonna be surfing in 10 years? i better make sure i'm nice to all the kids so they'll give me a wave or 2 when they grow up.
here's seth (moniz) on a nice size wave. because of the rule he was surfing in a longboard division. seth can surf!! he's beating older and bigger kids all the time on his shortboard.
seth is the youngest of the moniz family of 5 kids. they are all great surfers.
the parents (tony and tammy) owns a surf school, faith surf school, in waikiki. if you want to learn from the best, give them a call.
the kids (Micha, Kelia, Isaiah, Josh and Seth) are all rippers. check out their family blog and kelia has her own blog too.
now, i've saved the best for last. my new hero Miss Nahe Apo!! she's the younger sister of kaulana. kaulana's been surfing for a while and doing really well in contests. Apo family's another super nice family i've met.
ok, back to my hero nahe. it was nahe's first contest! she's always at the beach hanging out with us so it was super cool to see her in a contest.
a pre heat talk with her coach dad.
check out the sticker on her board. "WHAT!" classic! ha ha
here's the first wave in her first contest of her life! look at the size of the wave, it's gotta be 3 times her hight!!
she came in 6th and went home with a trophy and a goodie bag full of prizes. i'm super proud of her. good job nahe! remember, when you get older make sure you give me a wave or 2 if you see me out there. ha ha
