Skimboarding?

Skimboarding involves throwing a piece of wood onto sand that has a centimeter of water on top. The only time there is sand with a centimeter of water on top is when a wave has just broken. You must throw your piece of wood, which is extremely thin and extremely slippery, onto the water and take a running jump on top of it. Then you glide about five feet until the wave has receded and you are just on wet sand.

An eight-year-old from Utah is teaching me how.

This translates to:

This is almost definitely my last post.

But otherwise: Jeff, you're up next. Then Jon, then Jen.

I think he's referring to the fact that he thinks he's going to die while skimboarding. Good luck!

Using your awesome samurai skills, you pull out your sword and completely annihilate the pumpkin into tiny bits of orange goop. You then start running at an inhuman rate (as you are a samurai) and slash and hack at any attacking pumpkins while running down to the end of the cliff. Because of your ungodly speed, you manage to get down before your friend hits the ground and you catch him. Jumping up over the cliff, you find yourself destroying that stupid pumpkin festival. That's how you escape.

And a pumpkin's a fruit, not a vegetable. Kudos to Maeve, who pointed that out.

I tried to skimboard once, but when I tried to jump on it I missed the board... it was kind of embarassing.

And why is an 8-year-old from utah teaching you?
