Unfortunate news out of Hawaii yesterday where we learned that the Moniz family home situated steps from Kuliouou Beach burnt down last night at roughly 8 PM.

The home of Tony and Tammy Moniz where they raised their 5 children (Isaiah, Kelia, Micah, Josh and Seth) was subject to a house fire yesterday. Tony was sleeping on the couch when is wife noticed the flames from the garage. He went fight it with a fire extinguisher that unfortunately did not function. The fire overtook the house in minutes.

In truly miraculous fashion, both Tony and Tammy’s bibles were untouched by the blaze.

Anyone whose been around the Moniz family can speak to their being the living embodiment of the aloha spirit. With damage ranging in the range of $400,00+ any amount of support you can give them will go a long way. Click below to help one of surfing’s finest families rebuild from a wildly undeserving incident.
