good evening. what a beautiful day it was out there. sunny skies, tradewinds, and surf. the water finally warmed up and it seems like summer is in full swing… go surf and enjoy….

magic island is one of the most under rated beaches in the world. it just so beautiful and even on the weekends, nobody’s around….

i went to watch my nephews surf some heats down at bowls and the waves were 3-4′ and pretty good. lucky guys get to surf bowls this whole weekend….

isaiah moniz killed and won his 2 heats today. gosh, his surfing just turned on and he’s the guy to beat. isaiah made the finals and will be the guy to beat. seth also won his heat and is going to the finals. joshua made his and surfs again tomorrow. micah lost but doesn’t care because of his upcoming tahiti trip. and kelia surfs on monday. great waves and great surfing from the moniz clan. i’m stoked….

kelia and alyssa together crack me up. two teenage girls just loving life…. i did a short interview on them which will be out soon….

and just wanted to wish this beautiful newlyweds from hiroshima a bright and promising future.. good luck guys and just remember what i said “surfing will always come first”…. haha…

and last, round 1 of the globe fiji wct pro started today. the waves were 3-4′ and perfect at restaurants… click here for LIVE COVERAGE….

good morning. 6:30am saturday morning. the local motion surf into summer is ON!! bowls is overhead and perfect. there’s going to be some ripping by hawaii’s top amateurs this weekend. i’m going to down to watch a few heats. north shore still has waves. it’s surfable if you know where to go. trade winds back and the suns out making for an epic day. get out and enjoy….
one of the best UFC fights happening tonight in las vegas. it’s on pay per view starting 4pm hawaii time. i ain’t missing that one….

last night i seen this gecko’s head sticking out of my cabinet. i though he was checking me out…

turns to find out that he got caught in a bad situation. i must have smashed him when i pulled out my hammer from the cabinet. sick…. he’s still there because i want to warn other gecko’s to stay out of my house….
**what’s wrong with this world? seems like thing aren’t right. we got this unusual no wind hazy weather in hawaii. we had cold water in hawaii until last week. it’s summer and we’re having north and west swells. spots like pipeline and honolua bay aren’t supposed to break this time of year. last week in maui, i seen whales off shore. there’s even snow on the top of the mountain on the big island. yeah, i could see it from maui. japan’s been having weird weather too. freezing cold one day and hot like summer the next. 3 big typhoons already. crazy earthquakes and tornado’s happening with mass amount of people dying. this has probably been the weirdest year for weather since i was born. i’m scared to think of what’s next????

good evening. i surfed diamond head lighthouse early this morning. gosh, it was perfect!!! 4′ and doubling up perfect rights. a couple of guys said that yesterday was even better. perfect swell direction, perfect winds, and perfect everything for lighthouse. that was the spot for sure today. check out how clean it was. oh, wanted to say sorry to the guy i dropped in on my last wave. i had to come in. really…

my niece and nephews came over for lunch. i just love listening to all their surf stories….

my brother bought a new puppy. i can hear it barking 24 hours a day and it’s driving everybody in the neighborhood nuts, including me… does anybody know how to make a dog stop barking? please tell me if you do because my brother sure doesn’t know how…. i don’t like sleeping in my own house with earplugs…

9-6pm working in the hot sun. that’s what i did today. doing construction is pretty fun and relaxing. when this project is done, the first thing going in there is a barbecue grill….

and last, check out the catch from yesterday’s diving session… video coming soon….
