THE THANG: Enacted strict surfer etiquette by starting all communications with bro, dude, or yo. Turned up the surfing music. Two circuits with four stations with the pacer carrying the surfboard around half the field, while wearing wetsuit top and surfer hair.

Worked in a mosey and a crab walk that allowed us to discuss important surfing trivia MARY: Loungin’ and Lookin’ (other side), What Cha Readin’ On the Beach ANNOUNCEMENTS: None
