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.

Peter: Robertsport weekend session

The waves was not very good on weekend because the wind was too high, but we have fun surfing them.


The first wave I had was fun, I made a turn up and down two time and turn back to the white and the wave was gone.


The first time I try my new board, it felt a little faster then my other one and it turn faster and I like it.


I think I will  try the 360 move and have a nice air time soon wish out for that.


It was little bad on the side of the food because the Nana's  was closed so there was no food but I had like three  coconut and after that I went for the afternoon sessoin.


After that we started for monrovia and that was the day.

Peter: A new board



I just get a new board, I am so happy.

I just want to tell all of my friends in New York thanks a lot.

The first time Elie told me about my board I was so happy that I never slept that night, I had to tell all my Friends in Liberia about.


Still I am very glad and I thank God for that, it's brought me joy.

Yesterday I try it, it is 6, 2, short board like my other 0ne but it little faster. Yesterday we had lot of wind so the surfing was not too good but we have fun.

After surfing we came back and there was no food at the restaurant so I had to drank about 3 cocoa nut water and eat the meat, today surfing was all most like yesterday but we have lot of fun then yesterday, today.

Peter: Breaking my board in Robertsport


This is Keith and I at Robertsport beach -- the guy that buoght the NSP 6'2" board for me.

One day we went out there to surf and those waves was like 7-8 feet, glassy and the day was bright. I took my two board in Robertsport and one of my board broke because the waves was heavy and now I have only one board and this worry me everytime I go out to surf because if the last board happens to break I will have no board to surf with.
