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 .

Peter: Surfing on the weekend and talking about the surf competition.
In my whole life, I never compete with no body in surfing, I don't even know how it's feel like.
Elie, Math, Mashuel and I went up to Robersport last weekend for a surf.
On our way going, Elie started this conversition about surfing competition and she said it will be done in Robertsport on (November 29, 2009.)
Elie said that, all surfers in Liberia are invited and even if you are not a surfer, you can come and see how surfing is expanding and how good is the surfers in liberia.
I pray for good waves becouse it will be lot of fun.
I believe this is the first surfing competition in Liberia and I also pray for support from in and out of Liberia for this sport that had never been in Liberia for years, with all those awesome waves.
ROBERTSPORT COMUNITY WORKS is making a great positive change in Liberia for tourism and also surfing.
Those pass two weekends was unbeliveble, the waves was great.
The first weekend waves was double over head and glassy, I surf for six hours and doing the evening time we was surfing with lot of dolphin in the water, that real make me feel awe.

Peter: Surfing on the weekend , Meeting with some new guys and Starting first period test at school.
Before the mounth of september Keath told me that some guys was comming to Liberia to do some surf TV show, I was so happy to hear about that.
At the end of september they arived in Liberia and stay about one week in Keath house after that they went up to rebertsport for one week.
The day they arived in rebertsport it was on saterday, I was there but I never talk with them because I thought they needed a rest after a long drives.
so we left that day and come to Monrovia.
The waves on that weekend was small and not so good but we had to surf because we drove a long distance.
Doing the week Keath told me that on thousday will be good to surf in robertsport because big waves was comming in, and I was so happy but I had school so I never went.
On sunday I went up and all those guys told me how good was the waves, how it was breaking, how many feet over head and about all the berries they had.
I felt so bad because I missed that section of surfing but after I went down to cotton tree and started surfing, I was so happy because I could feel those wave that were breaking.
You could see those little waves making tube and by surfing them you could tell how beutiful it was on thousday.
After surfing those waves I went down to ship wreaks and they were still nice and after that I was trying to go see loko.
On my way to Loko I met a guy by the name of Shean, he and Afried was on their way back from there.
He said that he was the photographer of the TV show and he told me how good was the waves in Liberia.
He also said that it will be very good to have a surf team in liberia and some surfing industries because we need more surfer to come and we need those equipment for surfing.
After he got through expleaning, he took some photo of me and handed his surfdoard to me said I should try it out.
The surfboard was (5, 6) it was a very nice board it had four (4) fen and it was very thin.
When I cought the first wave it started moving very fast and on my third one, I had a nice ride and went down to the beachto him.
It was fun ridding his board, I was so happy because of all the good things he told me about surfing.
I believed that few years from now surfing will be one of the bigest sport in Liberia.
I also want to say thanks to Nett and Elie for their great work in Liberia, bescause they are really trying hard to make Liberia well known in the surf world.
School is great, I just started me first period test and I will be through on Friday.
Sometime it is hard when you are in school and all your friends are going to surf, but what to do, I just have to get through with school before surfing.
At the end of september they arived in Liberia and stay about one week in Keath house after that they went up to rebertsport for one week.

This week was great, I started school on the (sept 1, 9, 09) and I met some new friends.
The first day I went to school I had my SURF LIBERIA shirt on, so I had lot of people asking me about surfing in Liberia, how it feel like surfing and when do I go surf. I told them lot of things about surfing and they said they want to try it out, but it is in raining season now so I told them to wait for the dry season but they said they still will like to see me do it.
Now I trying to schedule a day for surf in monrovia bescaus I do not have a vehicle to take them t Robertsport. It still lot of fun in school, you know joking with friend and trying to achive your goals. The teacher have allready started giving us some assignments and it is lot of writting but my friends and I can do studies together so it was fun doing it together. We had about three Assgnment doing this week and we just submated it on the 10th of September and it was fun.
I went for basketball pritice with the school team and they siad that I was good so they have me join the school teams. I am so happy to be playing for the school and I like it, I still waitting for class league to show them my game.
Surfing on weekend was great, the wind was not too high as last weekend so we had some nice waves.
It was kind of sad because Nate wasn't there surfing with us, he travel but Elie still caught some nice wave and I was still there chearing for her.
Elie had one of her friends taking photo so that make me little crazy try to show off. I think she had some nice photo of Elie, Alfred, Marshall and I.
I still pray for protection and good waves this month. The beach was different lot of the rock at Shipwrecks have gone under the sand and the wave started making barrels.

Peter: The choppy wave and running after school activities
The wind still making the waves ugly, I tell you last weekend was great but I don't know why this weekend was like that.
I still praying for this month to be good and it should bring nice waves because I can't still stand the pain by driving for two hour to this point and nothing good to surf.
I still love the sport, I can't live with out it.
The week was crazy, I was runing after my school bisness.
I had to go to the bank to do my regestratson, The line was very long so I had to wait for 3 hours after that I had to go to the school for my deposit slip.
I just want to think God that everything went on well and also think him for good health.
I can't still believe that I will be wearring color cloths for this week because my uniform is not still out yet. I am still happy that I meeting some nice friend and I going to be on the basketball team, think God.
