good morning. 5:45am and i can feel it. i’m going backdoor. i mean, i’m going to backdoor… see you in the water…

“LOST” is a really popular drama that the world is watching. once it hit the air 4 years ago, it’s been pretty much #1. now it’s all around the world and billions of people watch it. did you know they film everything here in hawaii?

they crashed an airplane and landed on this desert island. well, that’s if you watch the show. i never really got into it but know where and when they film. i even watched them film an episode once. how? connections. the actors and actresses are normal people in person but glow on screen…. wow….

lot’s of fans would kill to be able to walk on this set and see the actual camp. check out below some photos i took the other day….

this the set in storage. they will start filming again next month so this place will be alive again. and not so lost. get it? haha….

this chair look familiar? i stuck a go-naminori sticker on the bottom of it… haha….

and i ate all their “dharma initiative” food too…. this mustard tasted good on my hotdog….

if you watched the drama, this set must look familiar….

this too. after getting bit by 100 mosquitos, i was out of there. i’m glad i ain’t “LOST”…… get it? haha…. thanks for laughing at my stupid jokes….
**i should start a “lost” tour yeah? and you can bring your hotdogs too…..

good evening. what another beautiful picture perfect day here in hawaii. waves all over the island. the north shore was pretty dam good and so was town. town had some chest high waves with offshore conditions. i think just about everybody is getting surfed out. well, everybody except me. the north/west swell is going to hang around for a while so expect perfect waves everywhere on the north shore. light trade winds for the next week so perfect conditions too. gosh, can it please rain so i can get things around my house done? i can’t focus on anything else when the weather and waves have been the way it’s been this past month…..

took a spin to the east side today. stopped by the pali to check out the panoramic view. shit, when i saw how nice the east side was, all i could think about was diving….

then stopped by lanikai beach. this beach was once rated number 1 of the world for the most beautiful beaches on the travel channel. i’ve been to many beaches before but nowhere comes close to this….

white sand, emerald color water, and blue sky. what more could you ask for. not too many tourists or japanese know about lanikai beach. it’s pretty hard to find. look good because once you find it, it’s all worth it….

just wanted to say thanks to kensuke and maki. had a great day with this brother and sister… keep on surfing…..
**got an email from kevin from okinawa. thanks kev. check it out….

So I was in Hawaii for three days and I got to get out with Kurt Chambers and Derek LeVault. We went to the back side of Rabbit island on wednesday. It was awesome! We had all intension of just freediving until we saw monsta Uku and Ono. Kurt landed one Ono and I shot another to only lose Kurts spear.
Also had an amazing steamed Mu dish. Oishi!
***and last, check this out!!! the next 5 day weather forecast. get your sunscreen, surfboards, and g-strings out. oh, i mean trunks… haha… continued paradise…..[:??????:][:??????:][:??????:]

good morning. 6:30am wednesday morning. the waves on the north shore didn’t get as big as expected. in fact, it looks a little smaller than yesterday. looking at pipe now and i seen some 4′ sets. 12 guys out with super clean conditions. heard this swell supposed to be 3-5′ and perfect all week long. perfect for backdoor, rocky point, and v-land. heard everywhere was epic this past week. town looks flat, well, maybe knee/waist high at bowls. got 3 hardcore surfers out there now. it’s going to be another epic day of surfing. see you in the water….
**wanted to know the best states in america for jobs? check it out….
#1. South Dakota
#6. Hawaii
Unemployment rate: 3.2 percent
Population: 1,283,388
Mean annual wage: $38,630
Top industry: Government (19.6 percent)
-hawaii came in 6th place but if you add in the cost of living, that $38,630 average yearly salary ain’t that much….
**by the way, the dollar/yen rate yesterday was 103 yen per one u.s dollar. all you japanese out there, run to the bank and buy dollars. nows your chance. i swear the last time i changed yen to dollars, the rate was 120. shit, i got ripped off. should have waited….

*i was watching the news today and seen this clip of this near airplane crash. it was nuts….
