"Grateful for Generosity: Borrowed Longboard Needs Wax"

Jan 19, 2024 - 7:31amSummary: Yesterday, I visited Kyle to borrow a longboard because mine is broken, and I am very grateful for his generosity. I'm excited to ride the board, but I've noticed it needs additional wax. Soon, I'll need to visit a surf shop to purchase more wax, as I'm almost out and wax is essential for the board. Ensuring I have enough wax is definitely on my to-do list.

Transcript: Yesterday I went to Kyle's house to pick up a longboard from him because he's letting me borrow a longboard since I broke mine. Really, really, really, really appreciate that. Really looking forward to riding that board, though it definitely needs more wax and I probably will have to go to a surf shop at some point soon to pick up a lot more wax. I'm like almost out and yeah, wax is pretty important, so that's definitely on the list.

He decided to surf with the longboard and without a leash, which turned out to be a bad move as the surf was mixed up and not suitable for a longboard. He struggled to hold onto his board during a big set, losing it several times. He took some rough falls and learned the hard way that it was a mistake to go out without a leash.
