Don’t forget your long board, but try not to surf the ankle busters and eat it like you did last time. I noticed that the last time I visited, you had a new squad and I honestly didn’t know if you were the same Adrian that I knew a few months ago. I mean since when do you drink and smell like alcohol, the next day you couldn’t even catch a wave because you felt sick to your stomach. You never pass up an opportunity to surf even that one time you had bronchitis and had strict orders to stay in bed you were on dawn patrol and I had to practically drag you back to your house before our moms found out and we both got grounded.
