Dude! Ride the Wave!

Dude! It is time to surf.

When I ride a wave, I shine. You have to do it, Cole!


OK, Slade. But that is a huge wave.

Look at its size.


You will be fine. Just be brave.

You will not wipe out. Take it from me!


I hope I can do it.

If I wipe out, call my mom.


Dude! See me ride the wave!


What a ride! It is your turn, Slade!


Um...


Yikes, that wave does look huge.

Look at its size. What if I wipe out?


But it is surf time. What did you say, Slade?


You shine when you ride a wave?


OK, Cole. I did not tell the truth.

This is the first time I will surf.


That is OK, Slade.

I will ride by your side.

We will be brave.


Dude!

Dude!
