Corolla – 12 year old Bobby Jameson from White Sulfur Springs West Virginia is ready to hit the surf with his newly acquired Great White Shark Styrofoam body board. He has been training for months in his Grandmother’s bath tub, and watching footage from his spectacular display last year.
“I think I can improve on a few things,” Bobby informed this reporter unprovoked as we were voraciously eating all the free cookies, “I’m gonna try and get closer to the beach so the wave is already crashed when I ride it. Then it will push me way harder directly straight into the sand.”
“He’s a natural,” Bobby’s mom volunteered as this reporter was trying to look away without feigning interest, “Last year he flipped completely over when he rode the wave in! His Nana was so proud of him she almost got out of her Tommy Bahama beach chair.”
“I wish I could buy two boards,” Bobby said as he followed the reporter who had finished stuffing the remaining cookies into his cargo shorts and began walking to the exit, “since I broke my board half way through vacation last year, and I lost out on shredding it those last three days.”
“One board is enough,” His mother said in an accent that can’t be described here without offending people, “It’s the best beach toy because when it breaks open all the little Styrofoam comes out, and dissolves in the ocean. You don’t have to worry about dragging it up the long walk to the beach house. The the boards just magically take care of themselves.”
“I think I can do a 360 no scope on my board this year,” Bobby kept on about as this reporter frantically blew into the blow and go in order to start his scooter, “I’m gonna show all those skim boarders I can do just as good as them one day. Mom says when Nana dies we will have enough money for a Hard Slick™.”
