Ooops, I Missed the Roxy Jam Contest!

oh shit, i missed the roxy jam!! i was told all the finals are going to be on the weekend so i was just having another great day surfing and hanging out. later in the evening i found out the roxy jam in waikiki concluded today.... shiiiiit. good thing bernie baker (editor and photog for heavywater. well, and thousands of other stuff he does.) was there to take some shots for heavywater. thanks bernie!!

so here are couple of shots from bernie.

here's the winner, joy monahan. she grew up here in hawaii but now married and lives in utah. yes, utah. i don't know how she does it. she can't surf for months yet still rips! she was just crowned world champion in france last month too!

2nd place, sister (kelia moniz)!! so proud of her. she shortboards all the time now but still got amazing skills on her longboard. check out the check joy's holding, that's a photo of sister doing her signature one foot nose ride too!

oh yeah and if you get a chance to check out the new surfer mag, sister got a 2page spread roxy ad in there too. she's everywhere!! ha ha

so while everyone was working i was just cruzing and surfing all day... man, i need to start double checking stuff.

sister came over to kewalos after the contest so i told her to grab her board so i can take a picture of her and pretend like it was taken at the contest. i guess i should've thought of that before the surf session 'cuz it was already dark by the time i took this shot... ha ha

apo family was at kewalos too. a great family! they are always bringing the kids to kewalos even during the week. that's why kaulana's (boy in the middle) surfing so well lately! nahe (girl in the back) has been entering some contests now too. everyone better watch out 'cuz she's gonna be a ripper in a few years!

lucky (formerly known as bill) is back! the little piggy seth and shun saved a while ago if super healthy and doing very well. another family took him for a while but i guess it wasn't working out very well so moniz's got him back. he's becoming like a kewalos mascot these days. i hope they get to keep him for good now.

just don't ask... i have no idea why derek had the mask in his car... ha ha

well, so i messed up today but i sure had fun surfing all day! i better double check my schedule for tomorrow. ha ha

oh and one last thing. the august issue of heavywater's up on the site so check it out! alyssa wooten got a little profile on "girls in the lineup" section!
