“Come on guys you’re going to pull my arms off!” I said to Luke and Matt who were using me to play tug-o-war. “I am just a regular guy like you guys.”
The kid with the glasses protested, “OH NO YOU’RE NOT!”
Thankfully Jerry came to my rescue. “Alright everyone let’s bring it down a notch or two.”
All through lunch the guys asked me about the competitions and even asked me about some of the other well-known names I’d surfed against.
I finally had an idea and asked them, “Hey would you like to see my new board?”
The kid with the glasses got all excited again. Apparently he was a big fan and probably would have cut off his left ear if I had asked him too.
