I'm gonna rip your head off!
Donnie...
...you're not in Vietnam.
Man, you scared the shit out of me.
Yeah, take my board. Yeah.
- Hey, Mom. - Hi, baby.
Hey!
Morning.
You're going to school today, right, Tony?
Don't worry about it, Dad. I'm just gonna get wet.
I don't want my son to be a ditchdigger.
I got him, Dad, okay?
Don't ever go outside dressed like that again.
One, two, three.
Yeah!
- It's big today. - They're there, huh?
That's Skip charging.
Shit, dude.
It's judgment day, boys. Let's paddle.
You broads aren't surfing now.
I ain't surfing no sloppy seconds.
You're working rat patrol, mop top.
Jay, you're on parking-Iot detail. Keep it local.
And you, Peralta, the boneyard.
I don't want our boards hitting a piling.
I better not see any dings.
If you wanna surf the cove, you gotta earn it.
Look at that right.
I got it, Chino.
Hey, here.
Hey, you should get out, man.
Now, get out there and surf, you little grommets.
Don't screw up.
He's gonna go under.
Hey, there goes Tony.
Yeah. That was a good one.
Hey, here comes Jay.
There goes Stacy. There goes Stacy.
Wipeout!
Chicken strips.
Hey.
Oh, my God.
Back to the boneyard for you, pal.
Come on.
- Perfect timing. - Ahoy.
Yeah, put your sweeping hat on, man.
I'll say it, man. This shop's a shithole. Come on. Get to work, huh?
Surf's up, man! Yeah!
I'm sorry, man. Is your equilibrium shit messing with you again?
Come on. That's not right. We know he's got bad ears. Come on.
Sid!
That... That was good.
- Oh, man, I'm sorry, Sid. - That was a good one.
It's cool, man.
Hey, why do I pay you when I should have you arrested for loitering?
- You don't pay me. - Well, now you know why, Sid.
Where are your pals, man?
Yeah.
Hey!
You got my stuff?
Yeah. Hi.
- Yeah. - Hi.
This isn't a library...
...so it's 10 bucks to browse. You got 10 bucks?
Didn't bring any money today.
Yeah, well, why'd you come into my store, then, asshole?
Hey.
Go browse in the Valley, kook.
Okay, so, what? You got cash, or? What?
Man, I got something better than cash.
These are urethane skateboard wheels.
They're ure-what?
Urethane, man. It comes from oil.
- From oil? - Yep.
With these, you can do the same hard turns you do on your surfboard.
- Yeah? - Yep.
You can even climb walls, man, because they grip.
- They grip? - They grip?
- They grip. - Shit.
- Sid. Sid, you should've seen us. - Check these out.
They're urethane. They come from oil.
And they grip.
Who's got bad karma?
I said, who's got bad karma?
- I got the worst karma, Skip. - Dude, right here, Skip.
- Oh, no, no. - Give it to me, me.
- Come on. - It's my board. Give me that.
Oh, my God.
- Nice. - Ripping, dude.
- Is that all right or what? - Insane. Insane.
Red Dog, hit it.
Yeah, surf it like a wave, man.
Yeah, Red Dog.
- Hey, Kathy. - Hi, Kath.
Hey, get back here.
Hey, dude, is that your sister?
I grew up, Stacy.
No shit.
- Yeah, Jay. - Yeah, Jay boy.
- Jay boy. - Come on, Jay.
- Yeah! - Jay boy!
Oh, my God.
- Yeah. - Yeah, Jay boy.
Pull my ankles. No, pull my ankles.
Come on, Stacy.
Yeah, Stace.
I can't help it. I love long hair.
- Come on. - Later.
That was gnarly.
Go... Go slow. Go slow. Oh, no. Are you okay?
Yeah.
Should my weight be on my back foot?
Well, yeah, I mean, that's... That's how I do it. I mean...
...it might be different, though...
...the whole center-of-gravity thing, you know, for girls.
- Yeah. - You know, your back...
Tony.
Tony!
Oh, yeah. Bring it in.
Yeah!
Yeah. Is that all right or what?
Yeah.
Fingers together, T.A. Chop, chop.
- Tony. - Exactly.
Safe.
Stacy, you're gonna need more speed than that if you wanna pull it off, right?
That's right. Listen to the master.
Grab your pad and take notes, Peralta.
Yeah, Tony.
Yeah, nice, T.A. Nice.
- Yeah, nice, Jay. - Yeah, Jay boy.
Hey, Billy, man, if we built a decent skateboard, we would rake it in, man.
I don't make toys, bro. I'm a shaper.
Hey, l... I think we should start a skateboard team, man.
Sid. Out of here, man. Come on.
Thank you. You little maggot. Scat.
Beat it, Sid.
So, what do you think, man?
Well, there's more concrete in the world than good surf breaks.
Yeah, I hear that, man. There's money in this.
There's only beer.
Where's my cigarettes?
I mean, how many 16-year-old surfers wear watches, man?
- Incoming! - Yeah, and where's he going?
Yeah, well...
...he's got a job.
Yeah, my point exactly.
He's not one of us, man.
- You know, he's not a pirate. - Going to work, Peralta?
Yeah, get a haircut, man.
You cut the check. Thanks.
Oh, man. I'm still short.
You got any cash, J. B?
Yeah, right here.
- I can't do that. - No, no, no. Mom, check it out.
It's got Sid's name on it.
I love you boys.
Mom, Skip is putting together a skate team.
Far out.
Hey, so who do you think they're gonna put on the team?
Hopefully all of us.
- Come on. - Shut up.
Hey, listen, when you're riding for one of these shops around town... Yeah?
- You can have off days.
You have an off day riding for this shop, it's treason.
Yeah, you got to approach every day like it's your last. All right?
- Yep. - Anyone got a problem with that?
- Nope. - No.
- Stecyk? - Peggy.
- Oh, no way. - Take off your shirt, Peggy.
- Wentzle. - See them Tater Tots.
- Jay. - Shut up.
- Biniak. - Let me see.
- Yes. - Shogo.
T.A. Red Dog. Baby Sid.
Wear them with pride, man.
Yeah, wear them with pride, man.
Or we'll rip them off your bony backs, you understand?
- Yeah. - That's insane.
Okay.
Now, has everyone seen this?
- Skateboard competition. - You can't even read.
You have one month to prepare.
And we're gonna have training starting at 4 every day, all right?
We gotta get serious here. We have to...
...because there are gonna be hundreds of skaters from all over...
...and we need to shut them down.
Yeah!
Montoya, come on. We got you guys some gifts.
I don't know why.
Yeah!
- I want the blue one. - Insane.
- Who's pushing? - Let's go.
- Thanks, Skip. - Let's go.
Hey, Skip, you got one for Stacy, right?
Come on.
All right. Let's go.
Hey, I'm not bailing your asses out of jail.
Oh, shit. Get the gate. Get the gate.
- Hey! Hey! Get back here! - Close the door. Come on. Quick.
- Get back here! - Come on.
It was supposed to keep them out of trouble, man.
Let us in!
Get back here! Hey!
Speed wobble!
- Asshole. - Dude, he's got the inner-ear problem.
Suck my inner ear, Jay boy.
Hey. Move!
Hey, Donnie.
- Hey, what's up, guys? - What's up, Mark?
Hey.
Hey, Philaine.
You guys look bad as shit.
Look at you.
You get off me, lady.
Bitchen, huh? Hey.
- You hungry? - Yeah.
- I got tamales in the kitchen. - Come on, guys. Let's go.
- I'm starving. - What's going on?
She's... She's crazy, Jay.
That's why you love her, right?
Mark, can you...? Yeah, just grab a load and give us a minute.
Thanks.
Hey, man, cover that shit up, you know.
Yeah. Sorry about that.
Like, what? Was he kidding?
You look good. You know?
Come on. Let me see the back.
I like it. You look good.
You'll always be my boy, you know. Don't worry about that.
Dude, I want you to have this.
Come on, Jay.
Jay!
You learned that trick from me. Watch this. I've been practicing.
- Hey. - What's up, Jay?
Hey.
It's not looking so good, man.
No, dude. There's an occasional set. It's really not that bad.
We were up at the Zephyr shop yesterday with Skip and everybody...
...when you were at work.
And...
So Tony got on the team, right?
And Sid and Peggy and Biniak and Red Dog and Shogo.
What about you?
Yeah, I got on.
Sorry, man.
It's all right.
Hey, what's that?
With no end to the drought in sight, authorities have announced...
...emergency measures for water rationing...
...that may force homeowners... - Hey, Dad.
...to keep lawns and pools dry. - Hey, boy.
The Action 8 News Team will explain...
Hey, they told us to conserve water.
We'll take you to the drought conference...
- So how were the waves? - Don't even ask.
Yeah.
Son of a bitch!
We're here.
Hey, hey, wait, wait, wait. Come on. Hey.
Wait, now. Wait.
Hey, one at a time. One at a time, all right?
Hey, T.A., get inside their heads, okay? Yeah?
Yeah, sorry. Yeah, sorry about that. Sorry. Yeah.
It's an emergency. Yeah, hi.
Oh, nice socks, man. Nice socks. Nice socks.
Yeah, this is Skip Engblom and the Zephyr Skateboard Team.
Here's our entry fees. Now, where's our trophies?
Excuse me. Go to the end of the line.
Yeah, I thought this was the end of the line, man. Is it not?
- Go to the end of the line. - Hey, man, listen. I'm...
- Yeah. - Yeah? I'm sure we could...
...work something out here. - Yeah.
- Is that good? - Put your money out there.
All right. You and your boys are okay. All right, have a good day.
- You right there are okay. - Hey, you have a nice day, man.
- Have a nice day. - You're next now. Step up.
Son of a bitch.
Where's the course?
There's a nice L-Sit by Russ Howell.
He's gonna press up now into a handstand...
...and back down on his board. - Idiot.
What are we supposed to do with this tabletop?
Dude, I don't know.
Looks like he's gonna end with some 360s here.
Looks like three or four of them at least.
Great run for Russ Howell. Let's hear it for Russ.
What do l...?
Next up, Ty Page, riding for Unity Skateboards.
Ty Page, starting off with some 180 end-overs.
And now I think he's gonna... He's gonna press up into a handstand.
There's a nice handstand across the platform, back down onto his board.
Looks like he's setting up for, yes, a daffy...
...and into a one-footed heelie.
And ends up with a 360 in front of the judges.
Nice run for Ty Page.
Looks like a 9.5, a 9 and 10 for Ty Page. Those are real good marks.
Should put him right at the top of the competition today.
Next up, Jay Adams, riding for Zephyr Skateboards.
And there we go.
Okay, here we go with Jay Adams.
Nice.
Doing these low... These low, driving turns.
Yeah, Jay boy.
- Low 180 with Royal Christie. - All right, Jay.
Oh, but he's all right.
He's hopping up in the air three or four inches.
I don't even know what to call that. I've never seen it.
He's, like, off the ramp.
That's it for Jay Adams. Let's see what the judges are gonna score him.
Yeah, dude. Oh, my God.
He didn't do a single wheelie. He didn't do a single compulsory trick.
Well, you gotta give him a score.
Looks like two 7 s and an 8 for Jay Adams...
- Oh, come on. ...riding for Zephyr Skateboards.
You don't know how to judge.
Hey, you blew me away.
What? You want to blow me?
Maybe.
Next up will be Tony Alva, riding for Zephyr Skateboards.
Yeah.
He started out with some quick S-turns up onto the bank.
Frontside 180 power slide.
Very nice walking spinner.
Into a 360, maybe a 540.
Another low-driving turn, touching his hands to the ground.
Yeah.
Here he comes toward the judges. Ends up with a low-driving 360.
That was a great run for Alva.
Looks like we have two 10s and a 9...
...the highest score of the day. - Yeah.
Up next from Mar Vista, California, an independent skater, Stacy Peralta.
The dude showed.
- Go, Stacy. - Yeah, Stace.
Come on, Stacy.
- Yeah. - Where'd that come from, Stace?
Up, up, using the whole ramp, hands on the ground.
Yeah.
And there's another one of those low maneuvers...
...out of the pages of Surfer Magazine.
Looks like he's winding up for some 360s.
One, two, three, four, five.
Five 360s. Amazing. We haven't seen that many all day.
Hey, Stacy!
Back across the flat and there's his finish.
Two 10s and a 9 bring him into a first-place tie with Tony Alva.
Oh, my God.
- You're disqualified. - What are you talking about?
- You touched the course. - Everyone touched...
Read the rules. You're disqualified.
Hey, man. Hey, man. Look. Look. The dude tied me.
Can your dirty ass even read?
- T.A. - Yeah, Mad Dog.
- My dirty ass, right? - Hey, ease up. Ease up, man.
- You saw that... - Yeah, ease up.
- Hey. Off the fairgrounds. - Cut these kids some slack, man.
- Slack? - Yeah.
Who do you think you are, coming to our contest and pulling this shit?
Pulling what shit, man? My boys are kicking your girls' asses.
Every judge on the panel is on your payroll.
What kind of shit is that, huh?
Watch it.
- Yeah? - Yeah.
Step up to the plate, man. One at a time.
You want it? Come on, will it be all of you?
Come on. Yeah?
Come on.
Hey, look. All right. It's gone, all right?
Look, man. These kids are at a tender age.
- They tense easily, okay? - Yeah.
Your boy who punched my official is out.
- Oh, come on. - No concession.
- That's bullshit. - Tony Alva's been disqualified.
- Next up, junior women's freestyle. - Tony, wait.
Tony.
I just wanted Dad to see the stupid trophy.
- Who gives a shit about Dad? - Yeah, hey, hey, T.A., man.
Listen, you stood up for your friend, man. We're proud of you.
This contest don't mean shit to me anyway!
Hey, come here. Look at me. Look, someone had to deck that asshole.
Look at me. Look at me.
It was either you or me, man. All right? Okay?
Our freestyle champion today is Stacy Peralta...
...an independent skater with a great surf style.
Now the awards for the men's slalom. In third place, Ty Page.
And in second place, riding for Zephyr Skateboards, Jay Adams...
...a real up-and-comer. - All right, Jay.
Get on the love train, bro.
- I'm so proud of you. - But I messed up.
- You didn't mess up. - No, I did.
That's a nice ride, man. This is a '72 Squareback.
Yeah, yeah.
Hey, bro, you look hungry. We're gonna get some food.
- You wanna come with? - Yeah, come on.
I don't think so, Skip. I got plans.
Yeah, well, suit yourself.
It's one of the benefits of having a job.
Yeah, well, you got me there, man.
- We're going home. - Okay.
Skip called me bro.
- Skip called you bro? - Yeah, he said, "bro."
- No, he didn't. - Yes, he did.
He said, "You look hungry, bro."
He said, "You look hungry, bro"?
Yes, totally.
Skip Engblom doesn't call anybody bro.
Let's see your trophies, Wentzle.
Take a seat, man.
Sit here, Kathy.
- Yeah! - Yeah!
- Hey, guys. - Yeah, Stacy.
- Here. - Peralta.
Go, Stace.
- You earned it, bro. - Dude, you're one of us now.
That maggot's always been one of us.
- Yeah, wear it with pride, man. - You know I will.
Hey, Stacy, that T-shirt...
...will get you more titty than you ever dreamed of, man.
I got my boy covered, Skip.
- Yeah, Kath. - Yeah, you do.
- Yeah!
Hey, you guys made a mess of that contest today.
- Oh, yeah! - Yeah!
They look at you as the enemy, right?
- But it's good to have enemies. - Yeah.
- A toast. - A toast!
To the boy kings!
You're all a bunch of filthy pillow-biters!
- We learn from the best! - Oh, you're dead.
Stop! Stop!
You can't act like that here. This is a family restaurant!
Hey, get off him!
Hey! Hey!
It's a family restaurant!
- Get him, Skip. - Go, Skip!
Jay boy.
You kicked ass, man.
See you, Skip.
I got second place, Mom.
You would've been stoked.
Baby.
I wish I could've been there to see you.
What time do you get off?
Three more hours.
There's fish sticks in the freezer, baby.
You know, I'm gonna make some cash and get you out of this place.
Relax, Sylvia.
- It's still flat. - Yeah. Three days in a row.
Hey!
Get in.
Stop, stop, stop.
Right here. Right here.
Hey, isn't that the girl from Del Mar?
- Dude, what are we doing here? - Shut up, dork.
And sit back.
Damn it, Jay!
You know how much this is gonna cost me? You're an idiot!
Jesus.
- Down, guys. - Get down. Get down.
Sid, get off me.
Grab your skates, boys. Let's roll.
Dude, are we gonna rob this place?
This wave breaks 24 hours a day, every day.
And you know what, bros? We're gonna be the first to ride it!
Dude! That's so genius.
Dude, there's no way. This is way too gnarly.
Not if you got the balls.
- Oh, Jay. - Dude, you did a backflip.
Let's lose this stupid diving board.
Dude, hit it low, man.
Yeah, Tony!
Yeah! You guys see that? I carved it.
Over the light.
Oh, my God!
- Dude, you were so far over it. - That was crazy.
- Yes! - Yeah!
Are you all right, man?
I can't feel my feet.
But then again, I can never feel my feet.
- Right there! Through there. - Where?
I love the drought!
There's a pool right next door! It's an amoeba!
I can carve that. Guaranteed.
George! George!
Wait, wait. Right here. We got an empty one, dudes.
Towels, bro.
Here you go.
- I thought I said mayonnaise. - Sorry, Tony.
- What is that shampoo? - What?
- Marie! - Charlie?!
Run!
Jump!
Go, go, go!
Hey!
Oh, yeah!
Pigs! Pigs!
Get out of here!
Dogs! Dogs!
- Dogs! - Get out!
Freeze!
- Stop right there. - Try and catch me, bitch!
Get in!
Tony!
- Get in! Go, go, go! - Punch it! Go, go, go!
T. A! T. A!
Tony!
You jerk!
Front side, back side. Front side, back side.
Over the light.
Where you been, huh?
What, did you just forget about practice or what?
I mean, do you think I like sitting on my ass waiting for you clowns?
What, it's funny?
Is that funny? Is that funny?
How's this? Is that funny?
Yeah?
Hey! I'm serious, man!
You guys need to keep pushing, man.
He took my burger.
Should we bring him to the pool tomorrow?
He's gotta run the shop.
Dude...
...you just got patty-slapped.
All right.
God! Come on, give up, man!
The delivery guy's here with the resin.
He says that you owe him $575 from the last time.
We need it, Skip.
Find the checkbook, man.
For God's sake.
Yeah, thanks for fixing the door, man.
Sorry, Skipper.
Here. Here.
Watch this. I'm gonna go off the platform, onto the floor, do a 360!
That's great, Sid.
Three-sixty. Three-sixty!
All right, watch. This is my latest move.
Thank you.
Sid, man, get off your ass and get these boxes.
Hey, how many boards are ready?
I need to peddle this shit at Huntington to cover the check, man.
