Peter: Participating in the first annaul surf compitition in Liberia.

Since Elie told me about the surf contes I been thinking how it was going to be like until the day came for the performance.

The night was long because I couldn't wait for the day to come.

It was 6:00 clock in the morning when I heard a car hoon, after that I knew that it was time to go to robertsport.

It was My friend from the U.S. Embassy.

On our way up to robertsport, we started this funny conversation.

He asked me, is there's any price for the least participant? After that I just laugh.

When we came to the beach I saw all lot of thing going on, the Nana's was having a party and at the same time we  were having a surf, it was feeling great.

I met Elie and Nat and give them a huge hug, because I heard doing the week they were ill with malaria so I was happy to see them on the beach agin.

After that they started getting thing ready for the contest and Nat told me to carry a table to ship wreak.

On my way to ship wreak I saw some guys surfing already at cotton three, so I was trying to fegure out who were those untill I found out it was Keath, Mashuel and some other guys.

The waves was looking nice at ship wreak, I had that exaggerated feeling By looking at those waves.

I thougt the ocean was giving us what we needed, when the contest started the waves started getting small but it was still working.

Mashuel, Ealie, Nat and some other peaple were the judges.

First Mashuel started to explain the rules about the surfing contest and after that Keath had to prayed then we started.

The first group  pedle out and Keath was the winner.

I was the was the winner of the sencond group, and the third was Afried.

After that Keath and are when for the semifinal, it was great I had my first wave and it was good but small, the second was small as the first.

When I had that one and ride it down to the beach, I saw Keath surfing a very nice wave, he had two as the same size and those waves was bigger than mine, at the movement I knew that he had the chance to wine me.

When Mashuel ring the alame, he said five menines for the time to be over.

I pedle back up and wiated for the wave and the wave never came so Keath had to win.

Than Keath and Afried went for the final, Afried had Keath and he was the winner of the contest.

I was so happy for my man Keath and Afried, we had fun and took picture together.

After the surfing contest Nat and Elie called up the winner and give them their prices, they also said a lot of good things about the surf support in Liberia.

And that was it for the weekend, I forget to sleep there to party too.

I just want to tell Nat and Elie thanks for everything they are doing in Liberia and I pray that God will bless them with more and more support .
