Wrong Side of the Surfboard
Manage episode 487575440 series 3669888
Ever waxed the wrong side of a surfboard before hitting the waves? Frank Girard has—and in this laugh-out-loud episode of Whimsical Wanderings, he takes us back to a fateful day at Club Med in Hawaii, where his dreams of becoming a surfer were nearly wiped out by… physics.
Eager to impress at the singles-filled resort, Frank carefully prepped his board, waxed it to perfection—and then learned, just a few seconds too late, that he’d waxed the bottom instead of the top. The surf instructor’s face said it all. So did the laughter that followed.
