though, for sure.

Okay.

Luke, little bro,

get over here.

Welcome to the family brother.

Huh?

Yeah, Shane told me

all about it.

You're in the family now!

Pastor Shane?

Yeah, God's family, Lukey.

Oh, man, I 'am sorry.

I didn't know you

were Christian.

Ouch, I guess I should be

a better witness, eh?

Oh, no, no, no.

My bad.

Um, how do you know Shane?

Oh man, everyone knows Shane.

He's the first guy

from around here

to win a big contest.

Pastor Shane?

Yeah, man.

He would have

dominated the tour.

If it wasn't for his accident.

Wait, what accident?

Ah, it's been a while now.

Shane and Skip Smith,

another local guy.

Who was really rippin

it up around here.

They were headed up to

the Open in Huntington.

Drunk driver

cumin' the other way,

blasted over median

and landed right in Skip's car.

It was heavy.

Skip died and Shane

was in the hospital

for a long time.

He never surfed

a contest again.

That's insane.

I mean, I heard about that

but I had no idea it was

Pastor Shane.

Yeah, God has a way

of changing our direction

when He wants to.

You know, we think

we have it all figured out

and He's like,

"No, I need you over here."

You know?

- Yeah.

- Yeah.

Well, that's crazy.

Yeah.

Oh, I'm here to pick up

my board though, so.

Which one?

Which one?

The one Patterson shaped,

the magic board.

Oh man, bad news, bro.

That thing's long gone.

No way, man.

Yeah.

Yeah, I wanted to use it

for the contest this weekend.

Yeah, I know.

I just sold it

the other day, though.

We still have some sweet boards

back there, though.

No, man.

I really wanted that one, so...

Sorry, bro.

All right.

Sorry, Luke.

What's up?

Hi.

Tomorrow's the day.

You surf in'?

Yeah, I'll be there.

Don't get your hopes up.

Funny.

One spat buddy, it's all mine.

Yeah, we'll see.

Hey.

Oh, hey.

What's up?

Same old, same old.

Yeah.

I'm on my way to math class.

Very exciting.

Yeah, I know what you mean.

Chemistry.

Oh, fun.

Um, so, I was wondering

what are you doing

tomorrow morning.

Like, early?

Okay, you're kind

of scaring me.

How early are

you talking about?

Well, I have a surf tryout

tomorrow morning at 7

at the Point.

Or is that too early for you?

Are you asking me to come?

Well, yeah.

I mean, we can

meet there if you want.

All right, I'll see you at 7.

Awesome.

Bye.

Bye.

Nice mornin'.

Mornin' Dad,

what are you doin' up?

Mornin' Luke.

Mom?

What are you guys up to?

Didn't think we'd let you go to

the tryouts

without us, did you?

Come on, I'll drive.

Okay.

You're not gone

need that, Luke.

Dad, I need my board.

No way.

Way.

You gotta be ki...

where did you...

how did you know?

Do you like it?

Are you kidding me?

It's perfect!

It's... it's the magic board.

Well, it's a big tryout, right?

And you're gonna need

all the help you can get

and we just wanted to

do somethin' for ya.

We're real proud of ya.

You guys are the best.

I love you guys so much.

All right now,

we're gonna be late.

Let's go.

Come on.

Wait, wait, wait,

Dad, one second.

Well, how you feelin', son?

Ready to go?

Yeah, feeling good, Dad.

No way.

Dad, honk the horn.

Hey, who's that

with Pastor Shane?

That's Emily from church.

She actually came.

She's so cute.

Any last minute advice?

Nah, you're gonna do fine, man.

Get out there, do your best.

Trust God for the rest, all right?

- Go!

- Go, man, go!

And I was like,

"Where did he go?"

She's like,

"Oh, he went surfing

at the Jedi."

I was like,

"Do you mean the jetty'?"

She's like,

"No, he definitely said the Jedi."

Yo, Lukey, how much, man?

$48.50.

Ouch.

Here you go.

- Thanks.

- Thanks, man.

Luke.

Grab a slice

and take a seat, my friend.

All right, guys,

let's get started.

But first off, let's welcome

the two new members

of our team.

Matt McCoy and Luke Harris.

So, what now?

I don't know.

A big contest comin'up soon.

See how it goes.

Just learning to trust God

more each day.

That's good.

I'm proud of you.

So, um, what about college?

Ugh...

I start at City in the fall.

Can't wait.

Hey, it'll be good for you.

Right, and what about you?

You all packed up

for the dorms back east?

Not quite.

What do you mean not quite?

Well, there might be

a slight change of plans.

Huh?

Do you know how much money

you can save getting

your lower division classes

out of the way at

a community college?

Hold on a sec.

Now, what are you saying?

Just saying that maybe

you'll be seeing me

around campus in the fall.

You're serious?

No way!

That's great.

Yeah, I think so, too.

Wow.

Well, maybe we can take

some classes together?

Maybe, if you're lucky.

If I'm lucky.

Get out of here.

No, no, no!
