everybody’s been talking about the worst summer in hawaiian history. really? shucks, i feel like i just got barreled last week? haha. still can’t get my japanese barrels out of my mind. as for me, the summer here in hawaii has been excellent. we’ve been scoring empty spots recently and i hope it stays this way for a while. once the waves come up to 2′, everybody gets hungry and aggressive. now, it’s all about having fun! i’m loving it and the people i’m surfing with are loving it too. no stress surfing continues….

my eyes have been on this side of the world. yeah, this is where the best waves are at this time of year and my eyes are glued to the satellite forecasts. once i see a little egg forming into a storm, i’m on a plane. but for now, everything is quiet so next week might be a world sightseeing trip, or a hawaiian free diving tour. either way, i’m a happy guy.

i get asked a lot which is the best business class from hawaii to japan. well, since i rode in almost all airplanes with all companies, i can honestly say that delta has the best seat. they are remodeling all their jets into comfortable seats like these. i feel like i’m in a capsule hotel. nobody bothers you, the bed is a full 180 degree flatbed, the movie screen is pretty big, the noise reduction headphones are awesome, and don’t forget the champagne and ice cream for desert. ever since i met my delta buddy, i’m a happier traveler. happy traveling!

17 dogs on one surfboard. this is the world record! ruf, ruf….

we’ve been surfing every day and after a paddling so much and riding so many waves, us surfers get hungry. we eat the best japanese, vietnamese, taiwanese, koreanese, or anyese on the island! this was shabushabu time at imanas. namaste!

a couple of asahi super dry’s, sake, and prime meat, then you have a great dinner and a great time. i truly believe that hawaii has the best food in the world! you can never get bored!

i’ve been exploring every mountaintop on oahu. still have lots more to see and can’t wait to get up there more and more.

imagine riding on and on with no cars, no traffic lights, no people, and no nothing. it’s just you and the mosquitos. and if you’ve ever smelt fresh air before, nothing is fresher than the air on the top of these mountains.

i wake up, i surf, i eat, and i head for the mountain. and when i’m up there, i feel like the happiest man in the world.

this is called the Harley Davidson “Nightster.” 1200cc of raw power. going full speed up the mountain feels like taking a drop on a 50′ wave. the adrenaline is so freaking crazy that it gets my heart racing for the sky!!!
