Brian, How Can You Do It?

Brian Keaulana is an absolute legend on the Hawaii surf scene. He's brought groundbreaking techniques to the lifeguard profession. He's ridden some of the biggest waves on the planet, and won tandem surfing competitions in knee-high mush. He comes from one of the most respected families in the state, and he's built a strong resume as a stuntman and served as a technical consultant on any number of big-budget Hollywood productions.

Brain Keaulana is a waterman in every sense of word. So why has he assumed a production role on the teeny-bopper, bubble gum show Beyond the Break? Sure, the show is set on Keaulana's beloved West Side of Oahu, but the first season was absolutely horrible, and it could be argued that the show actually does a disservice to the surf culture.

Lots of room for improvement here. Brian, can you turn Beyond the Break into something respectable?
