Scene 15
1 ½ months later…
It was the day of the pipeline masters. The whole week had consisted of preliminary rounds, leaving only 10 surfers to the final round. Ryan was in that top ten and he was ecstatic. The Cohen's and Addison had arrived, and Ryan was psyched for the big day. He was nervous but having Marissa there with him calmed him down a bit.
Since Ryan and Marissa had started dating everything had been perfect. They were so happy to be together. Seth and Summer had even become and item, over the course of the month and a half. They were officially the fab 4.
Ryan was so excited to have Addison with him as well. He really missed her and worried about her a lot. He knew she was in good care of the Cohen's, but he still worried. She had never been away from him for this long since his mother had dropped her off with Ryan 3 years ago. Addison was Ryan's good luck charm he thought. And now he had 2, Marissa, and Addison.
AS Ryan walked up to the beach where the competition was being held he became so nervous. The beach was packed with thousands and thousands of people. He looked around and saw some of the best surfers. These were among the 10 that he would be competing against.
Ma: "don't worry you'll do great."
Ry: "I hope so." Ryan said as he kissed her and walked over to the competitor's tent.
He began to stretch and get suited up, when he heard the intercom voice. "Welcome to the Pipeline Masters. Today the best 10 surfers in the country are gathered together to compete against each other for the board. This is the best competition out there ladies and gents so the winner of this competition truly is the best surfer. Good luck competitors and the pipeline masters have begun!"
Ryan took a deep breath and waited as the man listed off their name and colors of there water suit top. Ryan paddled out into the water with all the other surfers. This was one shot. Every one got to pick one wave, and that was what you were judged on. Wave selection was crucial.
Ryan watched as the 10 men around him paddled out for their respective waves. Some of them fell. It was over for them, but others had some pretty impressive waves. Now after most of them had picked there wave Ryan was left out in the water with the pro Tyler Jordan. He had one the pipeline 2 years in a row, and was expected to win again. He paddled over to Ryan.
Ty: "so you're the 17 year old kid I'm hearing so much about. They say you're the next me"
Ry: "ya.. If I can actually get up enough guts to get a wave."
Ty: "come on. Ill help you. I'm rooting for you. Id rather see a kid that actually cares more about surfing then the purse win."
Ry: "thanks."
Ryan smiled it was nice to know that the best surfer was rooting for him. All of a sudden Ryan saw a wave coming. It was possibly the biggest and best wave of the whole competition. Ryan looked at Tyler, he was assuming he would go for this wave.
Ty: "iv had my big break, now its your turn. Go go! Paddle paddle!"
Ryan paddled, and caught the wave as he leapt up on his board. The wave was huge, and Ryan surfed it out going up and down the wave as it was curling around him as he went. He could feel the wave crashing around him. This was the perfect wave, all Ryan had to do was finish it out and not fall, then he could come in the top 5.
The crowd on the beach were cheering and screaming.
As the wave ended Ryan pumped his fist in the air! He had made it! He smiled brightly and to finish off the wave he did a spin, and a flip in the air. The crowd went wild, and Ryan rode up to shore.
He was so ecstatic that he did so well. Marissa ran up to him and kissed him. He hugged Sandy and Kirsten, and Grabbed Addison and held her in his arms. He looked up to the score board and saw that he received straight 10's across the board. He had a shot at winning! He was so excited.
Ryan sat in awe for a few minutes. He couldn't believe what he had just done. It was like the best dream. Just then the announcer came over the intercom. "We have the results of the 2006 pipeline masters tournament…"
