After closing up tonight, Walrus remembers this super sweet road that should be good for longboarding so we decide to check it out and its like the most amazing road we’ve ever done. Its super long and we got radical of course, but it takes ages to walk back up so we only did that like 3 times before it got to Mr Chuckles’ curfew.

So then after that i went to Sentosa to meet up with some dudes. Its like midnight and we were walking along the pier messing around with my longboard when one off them falls off and shoots the longboard straight over the edge and into the water.

Naturally, if a longboard looked as awesome as this

you wouldn’t hesitate to jump in after it. And thats what I did. No way was I gonna let the Pride down. I straight jumped over the chain and dove in.

My first thoughts were how salty the seawater was. It seems I had my mouth open roaring like a proper lion all the way in.

It was pretty dark, and the waters were murky. I looked around trying to locate my pride and joy, the whole time fearing that it had sank to the bottom.

But then out the corner of my eye I caught sight of the bright green-yellow-red rasta colors blazing like bob marley. I grabbed it and with great difficulty lifted it over my head to the safety of the bunch of hands grasping for it on the pier.

So the longboard was safely on the pier, and everyone came to the side and looked down at me wondering how the hell I was gonna get out.

This was when I realized just how difficult it is to tread water while fully clothed in baggy pants. I’m a strong swimmer but I ain’t no walrus.

Also, my childhood phobia of open water started to kick in. Seriously, I don’t like being in open waters, and my fear of sea creatures such as sharks and crocodiles is second only to my fear of velociraptors.

I started freaking out cos the pier was like 4 feet above water and I was rapidly sinking. I thought of making a series of high pitched squeals to alert the dolphin patrol to come save me but then I had this super genius idea of using the longboard as an extension for the dudes to reach me and pull me out.

Oh and I also realized I could hang on to the wall cos they were made out of big blocks of rocks that had hand and foot holds at the joints. But then again it was full of gross barnacles and fishy stuff so eh… only as a last resort.

Anyway, the dudes lowered the longboard to me and I grabbed onto a truck and they pulled me to safety. Everyone cheered and was super impressed with my mighty sea rescue abilities. I tried to chest bump them but they all dodged me cos I was drenched in filthy seawater. If Calum was there he would have chest bumped me for sure cos he don’t take showers and prolly smell worse than me. kidding!

Anyway, yea basically I saved my longboard and it saved my life so we are like BFFs now. Everyone should get a longboard too cos it could save your life.

P.S. both my personal phone and the LSP phones are dead from the seawater so email us if you need anything.  k i got some replacement phones.
