How badly do you want international fame? A Jack Links sponsorship? A film credit in the next Jackass? Do you surf? Do you know what a vlog is? Now, hear us out, what if you put those two words together to create magic?
If you want to reach these unimaginable mountain tops, you have to get uncomfortable. You have to do crazy things like dig your boogie board out of the garage on a day when you’d typically just go for a surf. You have to make the surf check wild and exciting. And when you get to the beach for said surf check and find absolutely nothing to surf, you have to be prepared to go do other insane things. Now keep your head on a swivel for all the totally age-appropriate stunts needed to make quality content. Because surf vlog fame is 100 percent, undoubtedly worth at least as much as your dignity. Probably more.
For starters, don’t set your expectations too high unless you have a friend you can bully on those flat days. Besides, nobody ever said you have to do the crazy stunts on flat days. If you’re in such a fortuitous position, toss that friend a demeaning nickname — the kind of name the whole world will confuse for their actual birth name, because of the international fame and all — but no adult would ever want to acknowledge under any other circumstances.
Do it for the vlog. You’ll be laughing all the way to the bank.
