Surf's Up Page #4

than beating Tank Evans, you know.

Yeah.

Look at that.

You know what you're sitting on there?

That's koa wood.

Best surfboards in the world

are made of that stuff.

- Yeah?

- You got a koa board?

- No, I don't have a "board" board.

- Well, you wanna...?

You want to make one?

- Nah.

- What?

I come all the way back here

to give you the necklace...

...and I'm offering to make you

a board and you say, "Nah."

Get off your lazy butt.

We're making a board. Come on.

- All right.

- It's gonna be the best board...

...you ever had.

- All right?

- Okay, man.

Cody!

That's cool.

Joe, can you just tell us

why you're out here looking for Cody?

You know, we've known

each other way back...

...since, like, yesterday, I think it was.

We got a lot in common.

I never really knew my father either.

Why are you making surfboards

in the middle of the jungle anyway?

I'm just trying to understand.

I don't get it.

Forget the 20 questions.

Let's just get the board made.

Okay, it's just...

Are you a surfer, or do you...?

- Very funny.

- Less talk, more pushing. Come on.

Why are we pushing it?

Why don't we just roll it?

I'm sorry. I didn't mean...

I didn't know your foot was there.

Are you okay? I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

It's not like I intentionally did it.

I'm sorry.

- Cody. The log!

- Yeah, I know!

Geek! Stop, stop!

Cody, grab the vine. Grab the vine!

- Now, pull it.

- I'm trying!

Pull!

Cody!

Geek!

Cody!

Oh, no, no, no.

Help me up so I can kick your butt.

- I thought I killed you. You okay?

- Next time, when I say don't roll the...

Wait. What's that?

Yeah, it's a beach.

Sand, water, sun.

You seen one, you seen them all.

Let's get out of here.

No, come on, man.

Let's go check it out.

You think Cody and the Geek

are doing all right?

Yeah. I hate to see him

living out there all alone.

It'll be good for him

to have something to do.

Hey. Somebody's old board shack.

Look at this.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

These are Big Z's boards.

Yeah, these are Big Z's boards.

He rode this in the Australian Open.

This is the board he rode

when he came to Shiverpool, man.

This... I... Geek!

This is Big Z's place, man!

This is where he lived!

This is where he made his boards!

Did you know this was here?

Why didn't you wanna

come down here?

And then he went up to this

old shack, you know.

And I realized, you know...

...it was Z.

I could tell he needed some space

and some time to himself.

I didn't want to ask him

all these questions.

So I just kind of stood there quietly.

You're Big Z! I can't believe it.

You're alive! You're alive!

That's the respectful way to go,

I think.

Why are you alive?

What happened?

Tell me everything.

Start at the beginning and just go.

Kid! You're gonna

hurt yourself. Relax.

And people said you were dead,

but you're not dead. You're in hiding.

Did something happen?

Something happened.

You saw something

you weren't supposed to see.

I knew it!

That's what happened!

Are you nuts?

It's not a conspiracy. It's no big deal.

- What happened?

- I don't want to talk about it.

You don't... Okay, I got it!

I'll be over here if you need anything

or you just feel like talking.

Do you feel it now? Like talking now?

- Go away.

- Got it. All right. I'm going away.

Unless you...

- Cody!

- Okay, got it.

I'm not gonna lie to you.

This is, like, it's huge, man.

It changes everything.

The contest is a few days away.

If I can get him to train me, then...

Boom. I could win this with him.

It's my dream. And I don't want to

give up on that dream.

Winners find a way,

no matter what, right?

A winner is...

They see their goals.

They just go for it.

They're not in it

for the money or glory.

- A winner is... like...

- Hey, hey!

It's the surfer who's out there

having the most fun.

Yep, it's a lot of fun.

Right, I get you. What's winning

without the losers?

They're in it for the joy of it

and the rapture...

...and the slow-motion

instant replay, which is my...

Head over to the snack bar

and get yourself a big bowl of shut up!

Feels better when there's a lot

of losers around.

Was that your question?

A winner is somebody who doesn't

knock me off my surfboard...

...and break it when I'm trying

to get some big waves.

Especially Tank.

He is definitely not a winner.

He's a dirty trashcan full of poop.

Yeah, I can't remember a time

when I wasn't surfing.

My mom put me right on there.

I think she pooped me out...

...just put me right on there.

What is it about surfing

that you love?

I love being the center of attention...

...because it's really

where I should be.

And I love the looks

my ladies give me, you know?

The little glint. I love that.

I love holding the ladies.

- You know what I'm talking about?

- I think so.

- Sort of.

- Come with me.

Put this curtain in myself.

These are my ladies.

This is Jill.

This is my lady, Amy.

Little Suzie. Briana.

- You know why we call her Briana?

- No.

It's a long story.

Shaniqua. Helga. Miss Kitty.

Jeannie. I dream of...

Theresa.

This is Theresa right here.

- Now, is Theresa, is that your...

- Dirty girl.

This spot?

This spot is for my special lady, Lia.

I'm gonna say that one more time.

Lia. Oh, yeah.

That's a sweet, sweet lady.

Tank! Are you polishing

your trophies again?

Mom, I wasn't polishing.

I was talking to my friends.

I'm gonna be polishing later.

When's he coming out?

I'm running out of film.

Mr. Topanga! Could you

tell us why you're not dead?

No! I am dead! I'm dead.

What are you doing?

Hey, who said you...

Turn the board around.

Get back here.

Come out here

and show me some moves.

- No, no.

- Come on!

- Grab a board and come out.

- You want to kill yourself, go ahead.

Fine with me.

Just don't mess up my board.

- How do you turn this thing?

- It's not a short board. Sit back on it.

Hey, watch the wave!

You mess up my board,

I'm messing up your other foot.

I'm just trying to ride

this canoe or whatever it is, okay?

Stop trying so hard! Just relax.

What do you mean, rela...?

Long, smooth strokes.

- Dig deep. Dig, come on.

- I'm digging!

Keep the nose up! Keep it up!

Watch it! You're pearling!

- What are you doing?

- Come on, please?

Z, I can't learn anything

with you on the beach.

Well, then you're not gonna

learn anything.

- Now, come on in.

- I'm not coming in until you come out.

Oh, you're coming in, all right.

He's not even watching the wave.

- What wave?

- That one.

Five, four, three, two, and...

- Don't touch my stuff, man.

- I couldn't help it.

- I just wanted to learn from the best.

- Yeah, well.

- I don't surf anymore, okay?

- What?

What do you mean, you don't surf?

You want to learn

how to surf the right way?

Sure.

Then you gotta make

your own board, all right?

- What do you mean, you don't sur...

- Can't hear you.

- Can I ask one question...

- We're making a board.

Could you tell me

about your board?

I just have a palm tree board.
