Dream: To surf the biggest wave in the world

 

Kaleo’s always smiling and laughing at something or with someone—but never at someone. And no matter what time of day it is, he’s usually thinking about going to the beach to surf—and that makes him happy. Kaleo lives on Bountiful Beach and always wears boardshorts and a t-shirt—ready to surf anywhere, anytime. When he’s not surfing, he’s quite the shutterbug. Kaleo takes his camera with him wherever he goes, including Mr. Rife’s fieldtrips. Thanks to him, the Quantum Kids have whole picture albums of their adventures. (Some people think it’s funny that Kaleo likes to spend so much time in the sun and the dark room.) When he grows up, Kaleo’s going to surf the biggest wave in the world.

He needs a lot of energy to surf all the time, so Kaleo’s always eating. But his World Abundance Project is to make sure everyone else in the world has enough to eat, too. We wants to not just give food to those without, but help them build farms and plant orchards so they can provide for themselves and have plenty to eat for the rest of their lives.

Kaleo’s an only child. His dad is a lifeguard at Bountiful Beach. His mom is the swimming instructor at the lake just outside the city.

Whether it’s surfing or shooting pictures, Kaleo strives for excellence. This drive helps him excel at his goals. He also tries to encourage others to succeed as well. He wants to be the best Kaleo he can be and does so by helping others be the best they can be. Kaleo believes if we all try to be better today than we were yesterday, we can change the world.
