hey. you're not supposed to be in here.
not on purpose. i guess some people call me pipeman. 'spose it's better than carl.
no. i just said pipeman was a better name than carl.
oh. ok. what the hell you doin' down here?
that scrubsink at aokee's leakin' again? gees, i knew we shoudda replaced.
everybody wants to be the surfer king. what advanced surfing experience?
ohhh. bad news, kid. i hate to disappoint you, but this is the reason they call me pipeman. i'm the plumber around here.
wait a minute, kid. i do know a little about surfing. i also know a lot about the wave here. what exactly are you looking for from me?
karate kid. he works at big mike's doesn't he?
never seen it. don't know much about this mentor thing. how's it work?
i'm norman.
no, no nnnnorm-an. we follow the big fat guy on cheers reruns.
usually involves a lot of beer and corn nuts, but i don't think that's gonna work here. tell you what. meet me at thunder bay tomorrow morning,
this is how i trigger the wave.
what did you think? waves just happen? this is colorado, kid. now get your board and get in the water.
you sure that's where you want to be?
mentors don't get wet. i looked it up. get ready.
want to know what you did wrong?
oakey doakey.
you're in the wrong position. the wave doesn't crest that soon. move ten feet further away from the back wall.
ok, now this time, get up on the board more quickly. this is a wave pool and this wave dissipates quickly. you only have a little time to show your stuff.
you get a possible ten points. three for your surfing, three for your style and four for the judge's overall impression of your ride. no one's ever gotten a ten. i'm not really sure why.
everybody just surfs, man and tries not to fall. the big reason cowboy's done so
you could always go out and do your very best, take a lot of chances and maybe win this thing on merit.
you think you can hold it?
we gotta pull the fin. what do we do about the foot pockets?
what kind of plumber would i be if i didn't have duct tape? water world
ready!
