Tammy and Tony Moniz "talk story" with legendary surfer Michael Ho about his early days of professional surfing and how the sport has evolved over the years.
These two braddahs are my same age, & I grew up in NJ watching them surf on TV in the major competitions, & reading about them in the surfing magazines...as a surfer who dreamed of living & surfing in Hawai'i, naturally they were my idols...I did eventually move to the Big Island, & I met a beautiful Native Hawaiian wahine, Mana, from a surfing family on O'ahu...we were together for 21 years, until she passed away...to me, surfing "The Sport of Kings" has always been intricately tied to Hawai'i, & to the people of Hawai'i...Michael & Tony, & their ohana are all such admirable Ambassadors of surfing & Native Hawaiian culture...this was a very special interview, & naturally I couldn't help but think about Braddah Derek the entire time too...Mahalo to all of you
Paddled out in Nov of '93 at Monster Mush on the north shore in little waves. One other guy out there...Tony Moniz. I did my best to stay out of the way...
SoooFun Listening😊😊😊
