The Extreme Story of Boogie-Boarding Texans


This is a story about the first female Texan of twinly nature to have ever ridden...a wave. Brace yourselves, for it has been a long time since such a story as this has ever been told.

Once upon a time (two weeks ago), there were siblings of Texans who had never been across the great waters of the Earth before (water was only a thing of myth anyway). But it seemed upon this very Christmas season that their father bestowed the gift of adventuring across such myths, and the band of siblings soon discovered a realm called "Costa Rica".

Costa Rica was a land overflowing with green-colored plants and tall bushes they called "trees", which intrigued the siblings, for they had never seen anything of the sort in Texas before. They also discovered that masses of mythological water hugged the edges of the land, never-ending, and it moved as if it were alive...

The siblings were not dismayed though. Herein they found their courage! They seized the boards of boogieing and attacked the mass of water with all their might!

Though the sister of the band of siblings observed from afar upon sandy land. She was curious of these massive movements that the locals called "waves". She watched as they arose from the depths of darkness and swallowed her brothers in a crash of thunder. Gaping, she thought surely they were dead.

But lo'! There, hovering upon the boards of boogieing, they survived the waves and laughter bellowed throughout the waters! How can this be? The sister thought. I must learn to tame such a beast as well. For if my brothers can do this...I can do it better!

So the sister seized a board of boogieing and cast herself into the "ocean", swimming as fast as she knew how to reach her brothers before a wave overthrew her courage. Just before she reached them, a wave of doom came from amidst the darkness and hurled the poor sister into the waters.

She burst to the surface, gasping and wheezing, for not only did she swallow perhaps half the ocean itself, she discovered a searing pain within her eyes. Was this the "salt" her brothers warned her about? It was as if the fires of Mordor resided inside her most vulnerable eye and nose holes.

But this did not stop her. Her courage was re-fueled by anger against the ocean. I am going to tame a wave, if it is the last thing I do!

And so it was the last thing she did because a wave swallowed her up and she was never to be found again.

Just kidding. Obviously, after constantly failing all afternoon long, she was able to catch a wave and ride it all the way to the shore on her boogie board and it was perhaps one of the most glorifying moments in all her life.

The End!

P.S: Her brothers were exposed to too much salt water and turned into ravaging ocean monsters that now lurk the shores of Costa Rica.

The THE End!
