Peter: Surfing on the weekend and selling T-shirts, bags and rashguards


www.robertsportcommunityworks.org is selling T-shirts and a rashguards. The T-shirt and the rashgard is nice with SURFLIBERIA logo on the front of it and it is a very nice cotton.


I like it because it says something about my country Liberia and it is also suportting the Liberian surfer and making the people of Liberia to know more about the sport.


Believe me, I take it with me every where I go and every where I surf.


Lot of people asked me what the surf on the T-shirt means, I can tell them that it is one of the new sports in Liberia, then I will show them some photo of a surfer ridding a wave and start to explain how you do it.


Surfing was great this weekend, those waves were small but they were clean and nice.


Elie had some nice rides, she is getting very good, she never use to ride those type of waves she was ridding on last weekend, she was challenging them.


We were surfing at Shipwrecks, Marshall had some nice berrieds, he came back up and said it was yelling at him and he will show the example.


After surfing Shipwrecks, I came back to Cotton Trees and surf with Taya and some of her friends, I talk to them about the waves and how to ride it.


It was fun, Taya had some nice rides, she is getting good.


I was surfing at Cotton Trees and I saw Nate and Elie comming from surfing Shipwrecks, he told me that he lost one of his fins, I was try to tell him sorry and he said that I brought the bad luck because I have lost about three of my feans from surfing, but he was kidding.


It is bad if you lost those things in Liberia because you can't find them here.


On my NSP surf board I have a right fins on the left side because I lost it and had a right one.


After surfing we had source, fish and rice for lunch because the Nana's was open, I was so hungry after surfing for 5 hours so I ate a lot, then came back to Monrovia.


We had a little bad luck because one of my friend Sergei lost his water cam in the water, and he said that some guys was fishing right next to him with a net, so he tell them they will catch a camera but it was fun surfing on a new board.

Peter: Nice waves in the rainy season

On Sunday morning by 5:00 Mashual came to get me from my house to go to robertsport to surf but I felt bad because last weeekend wasn't too good and Afread called on saterday night and said that the wave was still the same so I thought the wind and the wave was the same way as last weekend but I was wrong.


When we got to robersport that morning we met Alfred on the road at his house getting ready to go surf so he had to ride with us to the beach.


When we turn on the left at Nana's we saw that the wave was so different, the ocean was nice and the wave was like dry season and Cotton Tree was working so I took my board and ran to Nate and Elie because last weekend I had a latele problem with my NSP board and I asked them for some stuff to get it repire but they were still at sleep under the Cotton Tree in their tents so I left it there and ask for one of Alfread board bescause I couldn't ride my other on, I left it with them last weekend.


So Afread, mashual, and I went out and the wave was just nice at Cotton Trees, it was a beutiful day the first wave I had I got beried in it and it keep comming, after few minutes Nate came he started surfing those wave, the next wave he took was a nice one, when he came back up I saw a nice logo on his rashgard says SURF LIBERIA so I asked him how can I get that on my mine.


After surfing we came for lunch and the Nana's wasn't open so we ate all we had and came back to Monrovia.


I tell you last weekend was so bad, the first  wave I took at Ship Wrecks, I ride it for few seconds when it was getten like a wall I try to jump off it but my leach left my leg and my NSP board went in to the rocks, the wave hit it on the rocks and I saw it in the air about three feet, I try swimming down to save it but Marshall help me out, I try to go to him but the corrent took me  in the rock so I had a little scar on my leg.

When we came out of the water I took the board and look at it there was only a little hole like a finger print.


I tell you if that board was fiberglass board it was coming to break in pieces.
