SoooFun Listening😊😊😊

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

Mike and Tony are pure aloha!! Legends!!

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...

Soy much Aloha. OMG

Big fan of Michael and Tony great interview.big props to Michael at the Eddie

Cool interview. Thank you

New subscriber and loving the legendary interviews from the Moniz’s at my favorite Hotel in town🤙

I was at the1984 Duke contest at 8-10ft sunset. Tony Moniz won the final hands down 100% but they gave him 3rd or 4th place. it was a joke

Michael ho and Tony 5th generation Hawaiian not like these people from the mainland who think there Hawaiians
