Oh man, If the world, the people were surfing and not fighting, the world will be better place.This video move something inside me. The dream of one guy who live in a wild place, beatifull place. This guy is like an angel in the hell, surfing while the rest of the people take a gun to kill people. Good video, I hope this guy keep wet and will be searching his dreams.

I thought all this time before the 21st Century, Liberians been surfed. Because they live right next to the Atlantic Ocean. That's what made me think that.

Really Cool, the Liberians have suffered too much. A great theapy for post dramatic syndrome.
