Grandpa's good at making surfboards, sure, but he's not an engineer or anything. [. . . Does Brady not know?? That's what he did???] He doesn't make boards out of anything but styro, fiberglass, and wood - super traditional stuff, you know?
. . . I used to prioritize other people's feelings over my own, before my mom died, but she said something to me one of the last times I saw her: "Do what makes you happy, Mack. Stop trying to live for other people." She told me I shouldn't quit surfing just because my aunt said it wouldn't help me get into college. Turn's out the joke's on her - I'm paying for college with surfing scholarships.
