NATIVE CLIFF DIVERS

The kids are athletes but a little scary for Mom and Dad.
First time in Hawaii they found cliffs where the local dare
devils dive into the ocean. There was a audiance of motorboats
cheering the kids on. People watching the local kids in awe
Top dive was fortyfive feet. The Kelz went first on the lower
thirtyfive foot drop. Her boy friend quickly followed doing a
forward flip and then from high above came Brent airboure.
Brent came from the water on the boats they were clapping. A
couple native boys carrying surfboards asked, "How long you been
diving?" Brent said, "Today!" First time he carried a football
51 yards for a touchdown. Came back from nearly losing an eye
hit by a baseball to bat .417. There appears to be no fear or no
brains.The local boys said now we have to try it. Not many jump
from up there. But we can't let a city kid outdue us. They spent
the day putting on a show for a group now gathering from below.
Few of them thinking this is the first time these kids dived.
