Chapter 4: Surfing Cousins
As the gang headed back to Z's beach, they brought their boards, got in the water and paddled through the waves. Cody and A.J. saw the big wave and both decided to catch the wave. A.J. said, "This wave is mine. Watch my moves. I've been learning this move for 4 years."
"I can't wait to see it."
A.J. paddled through the big wave and did an amazing trick. He raised his flippers separately and the waves crashed through the tube. He leaned down with one leg and closed his eyes. Then, as the wave opened up, A.J. flipped the board with a little loop-de-loop and flew up in mid-air and landed back on the ocean. Cody, Joe and Lani cheered and whistled and exclaimed in excitement. Cody paddled towards A.J. and said, "That was awesome! You really nailed that trick!"
"Thanks, dude." said A.J.
"All right, the next wave is mine."
As soon as Cody saw the next wave, he paddled through the ocean to catch it. A.J. crossed his flippers and whispered, "Good luck, cuz."
Cody paddled through the wave, stood up and rode the wave as faster as the wave is. He got past the wave at he speed of light, made a swift turn, moved the board left to right, made airborne and he let out a rock sign. Everyone clapped and cheered from his signature move. A.J. paddled through the wave and saw Cody. He said, "I don't know how you got that move, but it was totally awesome to the max."
"Thanks, man." said Cody.
Joe and Z were next. They both caught the wave and surfed through the tube. Their boards were going around and around and Joe did a trick where he rode the board faster, then spun around, let out a peace sign. Cody and A.J. were cheering him on. Then, Z did his own trick and rode around the board under the tube. Then, he turned around and puts his flippers together, closed his eyes and bowed his head. Cody, Lani, Z, Joe, and A.J. looked very surprised and cheered hysterically. Then, he flew off the board and splashed in the water.
"INSANITY!" exclaimed A.J.
"Best ever!" said Lani.
Z paddled back on his board and everyone relaxed for a while. A.J. said, "Dude, this day has been pretty awesome. I'm having the best time of my life."
"I'm glad you did, kid." said Z.
"You're really gonna like it here in Pen Gu." said Lani.
A.J. turned to Cody and said, "I'm really glad I got to see you again, man. I haven't seen you in 5 years."
"Well, pretty soon, we're gonna keep up with all the times we missed." said Cody.
"You're awesome, man."
Cody and A.J. put their flippers in their shoulders and watched the sunset. They paddled back to their friends and watched the sunset together.
