“My biggest compliment is not that I surf like a man, but that I surf like a woman,” says Leah. “If someone watches me ride a wave, I want them at the end of it to know that I’m in love with the ocean.”
And those feelings shine through in this short video from the Inertia. Watching it made me wanna go grab my single and go style.
As a surfer we all know our history and that of the Hawaiian Islands and how the royalty of that island change started surfing. I think it is safe to say that we have all imagined meeting an Hawaiian princess and watching her magically transform the waves into a wonderland of the imagination. The amazing thing, is that Hawaiian Princess is real and her name is, Kelia Moniz. Now this may just be my recent induction into the world of Longboarding, but how amazing is this video and how graceful does Kelia look in the water?
Kelia ‘Sister’ Moniz is the epitome of effortless style and grace. Our favorite lady logger had mastered the art of hanging ten at an early age. With equal parts happiness and humility, the multi-talented Hawaiian has become one of the most versatile surfers, notching up back to back 2012 and 2013 World Titles.
