Well, I don't.

I told him to shove it.

It's all right.

I've got another plan.

Is it legal?

Yup. It's been staring us

in the face the whole time--

...the whole bloody time.

Rockin' and rollin',

you're still doing it now

15 years today

and you remember how

you're gonna hear it now

blastin' out your radio...

Look at this, will you?

- It's a well-oiled machine.

- Hardly.

Any luck?

Not yet.

Look on the bright side--

...at least we won't have to

buy surf gear ever again.

Hmm!

- How you goin', Greg?

- All right.

- What do you reckon?

- Bit short, aren't they?

That's the idea. That's what

they're doing back east.

- Yeah?

- Yeah, she's a 6'8"-- perfect for a bloke your size.

- How much?

- Aw, 35.

Call it an even 50

with the wetsuit.

Look, mate, you don't like it,

I'll give you your money back,

no questions asked.

And you can keep the wettie.

- You're cocky, aren't you?

- I've ridden it.

All right, you're on.

Good man.

I'll give you a hand.

Looks like we

just beat the rush.

- How are ya?

- Hey, how are ya?

- He's a natural.

- Pleasure doing business.

- Thanks.

- See ya.

See ya.

- See you later, boys.

- See ya, Jim.

Man, you can talk.

Lookin' good, Gus!

Yeah.

- - Be right out.

Aloha.

Oh, hey.

How's it going?

You settling in okay?

You know,

just getting my bearings.

What, all two streets?

- You in the market for a new stick?

- Maybe.

I really just came to see Jimmy's

set-up, see what all the hype's about.

Jimmy's set-up?

Is that right?

C'mon, mate.

I am head shaper.

Well, you're the only shaper,

d*ckhead.

I get him to put the bins out,

sweep up, that kind of thing.

- Keeps him off the streets.

- Don't worry about him.

- Reckons he taught me everything I know.

- I did, mate.

Just not everything I know.

Big difference.

Uh, we're going

to check out the canyons later.

Think it'll handle

the big stuff?

Why don't you borrow it

and find out?

Oh, no, I couldn't do that.

- Wouldn't feel comfortable.

- Why not?

You know your way

around a wave.

Go for it.

You're not going to steal it.

Promise you'll pick it up

whenever you need to?

Scout's honor.

I'll even swing by

and pick it up personally.

- Ha.

- Okay.

Well, I'll let you know

how it goes then.

- Okay.

- Later.

See ya.

"Scout's honor"?

What?

No wonder you're single.

You're kidding me, aren't you? She

couldn't take her eyes off me.

Yeah, she was trying

to work out...

...if you were my brother

or my dad.

Go play, jimbo.

Oi!

Drinks all around!

Dream on, fellas.

- Maybe next time.

- Aww!

So what do you reckon?

Sensible thing would be to put

it back in the mortgage, right?

I don't know.

I guess.
