Austin POV
"Congratulations Moon!" Everyone cheered as I popped the cork of the champagne bottle. I started pouring some into everyone's glasses.
"Thank you everybody, no better feeling than winning right?" Everybody clapped as I got off the stage, getting back to mingling.
"Congrats my boy" I heard as I felt someone slap my shoulder, I turned around and saw my dad.
"Thanks Dad" I said hugging him, "I learned everything I know from you"
"Come with me Austin, I have a person I want you to meet"
"Son, this is Andy Jones, he is a scout at the international surfers association and if you play your cards right you might be considered for the ISA scholarship program"
"Andy Jones, nice to meet you" the small man said, reaching his hand out.
"Austin Moon, it's a pleasure", shaking his hand.
"Oh I know who you are, you're the talk of the town. I've got a lot of people interested in you boy and I think you could go a long way."
"Thank you so much" I said smiling widely.
"I would just like to talk to you for moment just about the opportunity"
"Yes, of course"
"You can use the study for some privacy" my father said opening the door for us.
We walked up to the study and sat down at the table.
"Right so Austin, as you know I think you're an amazing surfer, but I have my issues" as the words left his mouth I started to worry, what could he prossible mean?
"And those are?" I said unsure if I want the answer or not.
"You don't have a huge amount of skill or technique and I mean this in the nicest way possible"
"Well what you're saying doesn't sound too nice!" I said as I shot up out of my seat.
"Austin please hear me out"
I sat back down looking down at the ground.
"What I'm saying is that you don't have those qualities now. That doesn't mean that you can't adopt them. What I'm asking you to do is find somebody who can show you how you accomplish this before myself and the other scouts come to judge you" He said putting his hand on my shoulder.
"And when are you coming to judge me?"
"July 5th" I shot up out of my seat once again.
"A month!? That's all I get to try and change the way I surf completely?"
"Not completely change Austin just advance yourself" he said softly, I sat back down a hundred thoughts running through my brain at that very moment.
Andy stood up and held out his hand I shook it and thanked him for coming. He started to make his way towards the door and just when he was about to leave he turned around.
"I'm sorry Austin, but there's more to this scholarship than just riding a wave without falling off"
When the party was over I drove to my house. I walked into the room where I put all my surf boards and placed mine up on the stand. I stood back and looked at it.
"There's more to this scholarship than just riding a wave without falling off"
I'll show him.
