День серфингового соревнования был жарким и солнечным. Волны были очень большими, но Ник был сильным пловцом, и его новое правление было хорошо. Он сидел на нем в воде и ждал. Большая волна прибыла, и Ник начал плавать сильно. Ник поймал волну хорошо и встал на его правлении. Люди на пляже смотрели — было захватывающе смотреть. Внезапно Ник услышал шум. Доска для серфинга поразила его правую руку. Он упал от своего правления. Вторая большая волна поразила его, и он видел, что правление Брайана приехало в него. Его голова пошла под водой. Вода была в его рту. Его рука была повреждена. Он начал плавать, но это не было легко.
