Blue Crush Page #7

So Chadwick all alone by herself

out there, yet to even score a ride.

Go, go! Paddle!

Headed for her first ride.

Backs out. Sh*t!

- Beautiful wave. She's not gonna get any more like that.

- What a waste of wave.

She should've gone.

That would have opened up perfectly.

Sh*t!

When you're out there all alone,

you can psyche yourself out. You can do it, girl.

- Chadwick will have to wait for the next set.

- What are you doin'?

Kate Skarratt's paddling into

one of the best waves of the day.

Oh.! She's a little overextended and goes down.

-Hope she's okay out there.

-Kate Skarratt down. - Ooh.

Great pickup.

Gets her on the sled, out ofharm's way.

Hang on.

Okay, everybody, as the ski comes up

on the beach, please give them some room.

The water patrol needs some space to work.

Skate Skarratt has gone down

on that last wave.

They're carrying the backboard down.

This isn't good.

We need Dr. Leland Dao to report to the medical tent.

Leland Dao, please report to the medical tent.

We need you down here immediately.

Come on. Come on.

Charge it!

Go, go, go! Go! Go!

Go! Go! Go!

She sets her rail.

Makes the drop. Textbook. Oh.!

It's setting up perfectly.

Look at that. Beautiful wave.

She should get a nice score for this one,

Yes!

high enough to take her

into the next round.

- Oh.! -

- Oh, she got so worked. -

I don't see her. Where is she?

Man, is she all right? Where is she?

Oh!

Anne Marie's taking a heavy beating out there.

Grab my hand.

I got you. Hang on.

Not that she cares right now,

but thejudges' scores havejust come in...

and they've awarded her a 4.6

for the last ride,

which will move her into the next round

over Skarratt.

- Anne Marie!

- Are you okay?

- Is she gonna be all right?

- Is she gonna be all right?

She'll be okay. Just give her some room.

Is she gonna be okay?

I think so.

I'm gonna put some ice on it.

Lift your head.

Just lay there and relax for a minute.

Hey.

If you tell me to be the girl on the beach

right now, I'm gonna kick your ass.

Oh.

So how are you feelin'? I've been better.

Yeah.

My, uh, my first NFL game,

I got blindsided by Warren Sapp.

I tell you,

I've never been hit so hard in my life.

I lay there praying something was broken

so I wouldn't have to get up and finish the game.

You think I'm faking?

No. I know you got rocked out there.

Just like I did. But Leslie sat me down,

said that was the hardest I'd ever be hit

and that I would regret not going back in.

So l... I went back in.

And you won the game.

No. Actually, we lost.

And I got my ass kicked.

But there's this one beautiful pass...

one perfect spiral right into Omar's fingertips...

and a touchdown.

Look, I can't talk you into goin'back out there.

It's... It seems crazy.

But I know how good you are, and

I know how much this means to you.

I just don't want you to spend

your life wondering what could have been.

Heads up on the beach, people.

Big set approaching.

Hey, everybody,

we have a set out the back.

Watch your kids.

Watch your belongings.

The water is coming over the berm.

It's dangerous out there.

The water patrol already has their hands full,

so we'd appreciate it if you'djust back up.

Here today we have a rising swell,

so I wanna give a little word

of warning to everybody to watch out.

Guys, look, this is really not a good time.

Can I get a picture?

What? Can we get a picture?

We're working these chicks here.

They think you're some kind of

great hockey player or something.

You're kidding. No joke. We wanna get this thing done.

Sorry my pits stink.

That's just the way it goes. Let's go. Right here.

Smile. You're on vacation.

This way, this way.

Fluff your bangs a little bit.

A little more attitude.

Beautiful. One more.

All right, great.

Hey. Hey.

You goin' back out there? Yup.

It's just a stupid contest.

It's not worth getting hurt over.

I'll be fine. Hey.

- What? - Be careful.

Yeah.

- - That sounds the start of the next heat.

Chadwick's pretty much got

her hands full this next round.

Keala Kennelly from Hawaii.

She's a charger.

She'll go on anything.

She goes like a man out here.

Bit of a paddle battle going on out there.

Looks like Chadwick and

Kennelly are paddling for the peak.

Chadwick's got the inside position.

-Lf a big set approaches, she's gonna get

-the first wave. - Come on, come on.

This paddle battle is really about

who's gonna get the first wave.

Chadwick in position, heading

for the first wave.

Starts to paddle. She's goin'for it.

Oh.! She... She pulls back.

Kennelly's wide open. She catches a wave.

Time and time again, man.

She's out, making it look so easy.

But, folks, it's not easy out there.

Chadwick starts to paddle.

She paddles for it.

Doesn't quite get it.

What a waste of wave.

That's gotta hurt when

you know you need a score,

and you're going up against

one of the best surfers in this event,

and you don't go.

Plenty of time being allowed

here for Kennelly to get back in position,

and she's paddled right inside of Chadwick,

and she's looking to catch her next wave.

Keala Kennelly. Hands together,

ladies and gentlemen.

Keala Kennelly. A great two-ride out

here at the Pipeline.

Keala's got sack.

She goes like the men out here.

For some reason, Chadwick has yet

to even ride a wave. I don't know what's going on.

I don't know if she's just psyching

herself out or if Keala's putting it to her.

What are you doin'? What?

You gonna take a wave or

just sit there like a buoy?

Look, you're never gonna catch a wave

sitting all the way over here.

Follow me. I'll get you into one.

Give the crowd something to cheer about.

Let's get you a wave. Come on.

Follow me into the lineup, and

I'm gonna tell you to go on a wave.

And when I tell you to go, you gotta go.

Paddle your little heart out.

You can't hesitate. You can't pull back.

You can't hold back. No fear, all right?

'Cause if you hold back

for a second, you're gonna eat sh*t.

Come on. Follow me.

It looks like the next set's approaching.

This is the one. Go.

Paddle! Paddle! Go, girl! Paddle! Paddle!

Paddle.!

Ah!

Go.!

Oh!

You all right? I'm okay, I'm okay.

Get back out there then.

- - With only two minutes left in her heat,

Chadwick struggles

to get back into the lineup...

so she can catch a scoring wave.

Chadwick has yet to even score

a good ride, a scoring ride.

She needs to redeem herself.

Keala is absolutely dominating this heat,

and Chadwick needs to put

a scoring ride on the board.

Ouch. Are you all right?

That was nasty. It's okay. I want another one.

- You want another one? That's the spirit. - Yup.

Shake off that last wave, and let's do this.

Less than 20 seconds left.

Feel that adrenaline. Use it. Come on.

Anne Marie Chadwick

only has one more chance.

On the outside. Here comes

one of the best sets of the whole day.

We have lines stacked to the horizon.

Here comes a set. This is the one.

All right, come on. Go.! Go, go.!
