GromS!

These are what we call "GROMS". Staring Finn McGill, Seth Moniz (he's mine), and Makana Pang. Finn and Makana are only 9 yrs. They surf soo good and are great kids! I love them so much! You will be seeing these 3 for many years to come! I can't wait to see them all surfing Pipe and getting the barrels of their lives! Friendship is a beautiful thing and these will be friends for a long time. Makana's dad is one of Hawaii's finest. His name is Dennis Pang and he shaped when Tony used to surf way back in the "days" so it is neat to have our kids surfing and enjoying this lifestyle together. How blessed we are! Finn is one of the kids on our Faith Surf Team. He and his sister, Dax, train with Tony 3x a week for 3 hours. He is the youngest of our team, but the most dedicated and attentive! He is a rascal, as you can see, so it always amazes me how serious he is when he is being coached by Tony. He always is ready for more!

TEAM MONIZ: Surf Coaching Little Groms

Tony just started coaching a team of groms for 2 months. They meet 3 times a week for 3 hours! There are 9 kids from Hawaii from the ages of 8-12 years old. Our two younger ones, Seth and Josh, also train together with the team and they all have progressed only in the last 2 months! It is incredible to see how fast young kids with a passion can do anything. I LOVE when I see a little grom that has passion, but has not developed ability. Within one year, their progress is amazing! So keep your eyes open for these up and coming groms in the surf world!
