Aloha Surfer Dude- Series © Theme:

Part 1 of a 5 part series written to work with LifeWay‟s “Outrigger Island” VBS program. NOTE DramaShare is in no way connected with LifeWay, and these scripts were written at a DramaShare member‟s request, we did not see any LifeWay materials, (other than that which is open and visible on the LifeWay website). The emphasis of this, (part 1), drama is to show that God is real, and that we can believe God because there is no other God. The “Aloha Surfer Dude” Al is a member of “SOS” – (Surfers on Sand), why? Because water is hard on his hair, why else? Al fumbles his way along and others try to help, usually unsuccessfully. Which makes for good fun, and actually there is a real, although silly, message. The other sketches in this series are: - Part 2 – “Aloha Surfer Dude – The Son”. Jesus is God‟s son, we can celebrate who he is - Part 3 – “Aloha Surfer Dude – The Way”. Jesus is the only way, I can confess him as my saviour. - Part 4 – “Aloha Surfer Dude – The Word”. The Bible is God‟s word, I can explore it's truth - Part 5 – “Aloha Surfer Dude – The Truth”. My actions show what I believe, I can stand for God‟s truth

Steady big fella! (rocks back and forth) These waves are about all that this surfer dude can take! Lucky I am like a way good surfer! Lisa and Reagan come on stage, watching Al, kind of shocked, amused, watch as Al “hits a wave, gets knocked off the board, lands on his back Al:

Wow, guys, did you see that wave?

Lisa:

Wave . . .?

Al:

That sucker must‟a been like 80 feet high is my guess!

Lisa, confused: “Wave”? . . . You mean like . . (mimes waves with hands) . . . waves? Al:

For sure! . . . And I was just ripping!

Reagan:

“Ripping”?

Al:

Like phat man!

Reagan:

Who you callin‟ fat?

Lisa:

No Reagan, I think he meant phat, as in (spells) P – H – A – T.

Reagan:

Lisa, no matter how you spell it, fat is fat.

Lisa:

P – H – A – T, I think means like . . excellent, first rate.

Reagan:

Then if it's excellent why not just say excellent?

Al:

Who are you dudes?

Reagan:

Dudes?

Lisa:

Reagan, dudes means like . . people.

Reagan:

If he means people why not just say people?

Al:

You guys for sure talk like spaced, my guess is you dudes aren't board dudes.

Reagan:

Bored? . . Why should we be bored?

Lisa:

No, Reagan, he means B-O-A-R-D, board people, guys who are surfboarders.

Reagan:

OK, I am Reagan, this here is my friend Lisa. . . And you are . . ?

Al:

Reagan:

Al:

Behold . . I AM . . . Al, the Aloha Surfer Dude!

Reagan:

The . . Aloha Surfer Dude?

Al:

Yup, when I am surfin‟ I am . . stoked!

Reagan:

Stoked?

Lisa:

Stoked means like . . happy.

Reagan:

How long has Al been involved in ESL?

Al:

ESL?

Reagan:

English as a second language.

Lisa:

So Al, the water looks right, you gonna go surfing?

Al:

Been surfin‟ all day.

Lisa:

But you aren't in the water.

Al:

No, why for would I be in the water?

Reagan:

Well for one thing there is a little more . . . SURF. . . in the water . . you know, as in SURF boarding.

Al:

Nah, us guys we are new wave.

Reagan:

New wave?

Al:

Yup, primo SOS here.

Lisa:

Care to explain?

Al:

SOS . . . Surfin‟ on Sand.

Lisa:

Surfing on sand? . . And the reason would be?

Al, flicks hair with fingers: Water is soooooo awful for my hair. Reagan:

What is this? . . . You don‟t go in the water because of . . your hair?

Al:

Guy can't take any chances with the locks you know.

Reagan:

Only one question: . . Where did you ever come up with this weird idea of surfing on sand?

Al:

Wasn‟t me, oh no, no, no! . . . That would be none other than the master of all SOS dudes, Surfin‟ Sandy himself!

Reagan:

Surfin‟ Sandy?

Al, to Lisa:

Does she always repeat everything other dudes say?

Lisa:

So Surfin‟ Sandy invented surfing on sand?

Al, shocked:

She did? . . . I did not know that!

Reagan:

You just said that Surfin‟ Sandy was a guy . . .

Al:

Actually man like, no one has ever seen Surfin‟ Sandy, and let‟s face it, Sandy can be a dudes name or a doll‟s name . . ..

Reagan:

So then this Sandy . . . Oh forget it, it's not worth it!

Al:

Surfin‟ Sandy, she wrote the book.

Reagan:

Do I dare ask which book it was that Surfin‟ Sandy wrote?

Al:

Actually Surfin‟ Sandy never wrote like an actual book.

Reagan:

So you have never talked to Surfin‟ Sandy?

Al, amazed:

Well, duhhhh! Like, no one has ever like actually talked to Surfin‟ Sally.

Lisa:

OK, so no one has talked to this person, . . and no one knows anything about her?

Al:

Yup, that‟s about right.

Lisa:

Then how do you know that this person is like . . real?

Aloha Surfer Dude – Series © ©Copyright DramaShare® 2008

Page 4

Al:

Real? . . . Well, it kinda really like depends on . . what really does real really mean? . . I mean like, how can you know if anyone, or anything is real, man? . . . Really?

Reagan:

God‟s real.

Al:

God?. . He‟s real? . . . How can you know that? . . I mean like who has actually really talked to God? . . . Really?

Reagan:

Lots of folks throughout all time have talked to God. . . Even Moses, way back in the Bible, talked to God.

Al:

Whoooa! . . That‟s something! . . No one‟s ever been able to do that with Surfin‟ Sandy. . . (worried) That kinda like shakes my faith in Surfin‟ Sandy.

Reagan:

Because God spoke to Moses I can believe that God is real . . and that there is no other God. . . So my faith is UNSHAKEABLE!

Al:

Wow, I gotta say I am impressed! . . But now I gotta get back on my stick.

Reagan:

Stick?

Lisa:

Means surfboard.

Al:

You really oughta come board with me, never know you might be OK at it.

Lisa:

Likely you better go on ahead, I like to shake some water in my surfing.

Al:

Not me, I am . . . UNSHAKEABLE!

Al jumps on his board, starts to tremble jumps off Al, shouts:

All Sandboarders run for cover . . . Sand flies!

both actors get set up, stand on boards Al:

Wow, looks good for surfin‟ today huh Zip?

Zip motions straight ahead with hands, both actors move as though surfing Al:

Wooohooo! Can you believe these waves Zip? I never did ask you Zip . . . what's with the name . . “Zip”?

Zip motions “moving quickly” Al:

I gotcha, a real speedy mover huh? Well for sure you are that! . . And a primo sand surfer to boot! Not much on talking are you, but hey, some folks say I talk enough for three or four surfers. But then . . . I am . . . the one and only . . . Al, the Aloha Surfer Dude!

Zip mimes bowing down to Al Al:

As you should bow down!

Lisa and Reagan come on stage, watch quietly as the surfers surf Al, look of fear: Hey look out! Here comes a big one! Al and Zip tumble to the floor, get back up, brush themselves off, mime drying themselves Al:

Whoooaaaa! . . Now that was a doozie!

Reagan:

Look guys, I have been standing here, watching, . . you guys are standing on solid sand . .

Al:

Shifting sand actually.

Reagan:

Like I say, . . .. solid sand . . and everything is quiet and still . ..

Al:

Quiet and still? . . . What color is the sky in your world dude?

Reagan:

Like I say . . quiet and still . .

Al:

Let‟s mount up Zip . .

Reagan, to Zip: Your name is Zip? . . . What's with a name like that? Aloha Surfer Dude – Series © ©Copyright DramaShare® 2008

Page 7

Zip motions “moving quickly” Reagan:

What's with that?

Al:

My friend Zip, he‟s telling you that his name is Zip „cause he moves so fast.

Reagan:

Do we get to see some fast moves anytime soon?

Al, to Zip:

Hey son, let‟s go show the sceptics what we can do!

Lisa:

You trying to tell us that Zip is your son?

Al, amazed:

Nooooooooo! . . He‟s not like my son, he is like. . my son!

Reagan:

So glad you cleared that one up.

Al:

You dudes are so uncool! . . let me try to enlighten you! . . To us surfer dudes like everyone is a son . . . but no one is a son, dig it?

Lisa:

Sorry, it's pretty much un-dug.

Al:

I can see that I gotta get way down to basic here . . . See, no one anywhere is anyone‟s son, OK?

Reagan:

Jesus is God‟s son.

Al:

Look, like that is just pure silly . . I mean like how can anyone be like God‟s son? . . Whoever told you that one?

Reagan:

The Bible.

Al:

You mean like folks actually read Bibles?

Reagan:

Everyday actually.

Al:

And the Bible said that Jesus is God‟s son?

Reagan:

For a fact it does.

Al:

Wow! . . I did not know that. . . (to Zip) . . Zip, did you know that Jesus was God‟s son?

Zip shrugs shoulders, hands upward, makes motion to indicate he didn’t know Al:

Zip didn‟t know either.

Zip, Lisa and Reagan start off stage Al:

Hey you guys, don‟t be jumpin‟ around, splashin‟ water in my eyes, knockin‟ me off my board!

My guess is that he has lost something.

Reagan:

Looking for something out here could be like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Lisa:

More like a needle in a sand pile I‟d say.

Reagan:

Gotta hand it to him, he is determined.

Lisa, to Al:

Excuse me . . .

Al continues, doesn’t listen Lisa:

Al!

Reagan:

Let me try . . . Hey, Aloha Surfer Dude!

Al, jumps:

Hey, who, what . . . Oh, hey Lisa, . . . Reagan.

Lisa:

Whatcha doing, what's the magnifying glass for?

Al:

Fact is somebody stole my board.

Reagan:

Your surfboard?

Al:

It‟s true.

Lisa:

Where was it?

Al, points down: Was here . . right here. Reagan:

Oh look, you can see the marks that the surfboard made here in the sand.

Lisa:

And here‟s some footprints leading off (points ahead) in that direction.

Al, impressed: Wow, for sure you guys are great detectives, should‟a been like private eyes! Lisa:

See the guy had strange looking shoes on.

Al:

How do you know about his shoes, and how do you know it was a guy?

Lisa:

Either a guy or a woman with tremendous big feet.

Reagan:

Real deep, strange shaped cleats on his shoes.

Al, gets down on hands and knees, looks: Wow, I see that . . . Seems to me I have seen those kinda tracks somewhere. Reagan:

Look quite a lot like the cleats on your shoes Al.

Al, amazed:

For a fact they do! . . Isn't that a sumpin‟!

Lisa:

Al, what did you do after you set your surfboard down here?

Al, mocks:

Now that‟s a silly question dude baby! . . I like . .. surfed!

Lisa:

OK, but after you surfed . . what then?

Al, thinking: Ummm, let‟s see . . I first of all got off my board. Reagan:

I can see the proof of that, seeing as how you aren't on your board now.

Lisa:

Think hard Al! . . . Even if it hurts.

Al:

I‟m thinkin‟, I‟m thinkin‟! . . . Let‟s see, I remember thinking that I needed to wax my board, keep it awesome looking.

Reagan:

OK, so you waxed your board.

Al, annoyed: Hardly! . . Out here in the sand . . . I think not dude! . . No way, I took my board home and I . . . Lisa:

You what?

Al:

What's with you Lisa? . . Hearing not so good, got too much salt water in your ears?

Lisa:

You said you took your board home . . .

Reagan:

Which means that there is like zero chance your board would be here.

Lisa:

And if your board was at home, my guess is that‟s where it still is.

Al, impressed: Man, you dudes are good, I‟d‟a never figured that out on my own! My mom is gonna be some pleased! Reagan:

Your mom?

Al:

Fact is it's my mom‟s board.

Lisa:

Your mom is a sand boarder?

Al:

Nah, mom‟s old school, she surf boards. I tell ya, if I had lost mom‟s board she would have like had my ears! You guys are my saviour is what!

Aloha Surfer Dude – Series © ©Copyright DramaShare® 2008

Lisa:

Fact is there's only one saviour.

Al:

One?

Lisa:

Yes, and that‟s Jesus.

Al:

I gotta tell you, I am doing some learning from you guys. . . Now if I could just remember where I put my surfin‟ shoes.

Reagan:

Try checking your feet.

Al, looks down: For sure, there they are! . . . Like I say, I owe you big time! all actors off stage

Al:

Look dudes, cut those guys some slack, I mean they were likely just having some fun and . .

Lisa:

I for sure have no problem with having fun, but not when it puts surfers in danger!

Al, does “time out” sign: Hey hold up dude, like just what kind of things were they doing? Lisa:

Well they were turning quickly on a wave . .

Al:

You are talking carving . . . . What else?

Lisa:

And they were running up and down their boards . . .

Al:

Yup, cross-stepping . . . What else?

Lisa:

Well these guys were surfing with their backs to the wave . . .

Al:

Yep, doin‟ the backside . . . What else?

Lisa:

Well they were surfing with their right foot forward, everybody knows we are trained to surf with the left foot forward . .

Al:

Doin‟ the goofy foot is what us dudes call it . . . No biggie.

Lisa:

It made me so mad when they would just jump in on other surfers when they are on the wave . . .

Al, upset:

Really? . . . Those barneys were snakin‟?

Reagan:

“Barneys”?

Al:

That‟s what us primo surfer dudes call guys that don‟t have a clue what they are doing, or when they are acting bad out there on the pond . .

Reagan:

So you call that being a snake?

Al:

For sure is, and no good surfer dude‟s ever gonna go be a snaker!

Lisa:

Well they were snakes for sure, doing all the things I said and more!

Al:

Well for sure they were outta line snakin‟ for sure. But those other things, carving, cross-stepping, doin‟ the backside or the goofy foot, I mean, that‟s just being a surfer dude, man!

Lisa:

I tell ya, its just not safe!

Al:

Nonsense! . . Here let Al the Aloha Surfer Dude show you where at it is all at! . .

Al stands on board, proudly showing off, sways, balances, look of shock on his face, falls off board, collides with the other two, they all fall down. The actors carefully get to their feet, Lisa and Reagan holding arms, feeling a sore neck and back, annoyed Reagan:

Al, now just what do you think you were doing?

Lisa:

Could have like broken my neck with your being silly out there is what!

Al:

Chill down dudes, it was an accident, just a harmless little accident, nobody‟s hurt or anything after all . . . Now let me show you another move, cross-stepping, harmless enough for us experienced surfer dudes . . .

Al stands on board, proudly showing off, sways, balances, walks up and down the board, stepping one foot over the other, look of shock on his face, falls off board, collides with the other two, they all fall down. The actors carefully get to their feet, Lisa and Reagan holding arms, feeling a sore neck and back, now very upset Reagan:

OK Al, now that is just about enough of that silliness!

Lisa:

Your actions are just bad outta line is what, with other people close around!

Al:

My actions outta line? . . . But I was just surfin‟! I meant no harm, wasn‟t out to get you guys hurt or anything, after all I mean, we are like buds, you gotta believe it, I like you guys!

Reagan:

OK Al, and mostly you are an OK guy too, but your actions have to show what you believe.

Lisa:

Yeh, you can‟t go doing dangerous things when other folks are around, you want to do those kinda things, go out in the middle of the ocean, all by yourself.

Reagan:

Yeh, but even so, be careful, we like you Al, and we don‟t want you to up and get hurt!

Al, impressed: Wow, even after me knocking you down when I was being silly, you mean you still care about me? . . Wow, I am some impressed, I mean you guys are the last ones I figured would step in and help out a dude like me. Lisa:

Guess you could say we are like being the good Samaritans.

Al, confused: “The good Samaritans”?? Aloha Surfer Dude – Series © ©Copyright DramaShare® 2008

Reagan:

Yeh, in the Bible, he helped out this hurt guy when no one else would.

Al:

Wow! . . . I should likely hear more about this good Samaritan dude, right?

Lisa:

Let‟s go have a cup of hot chocolate and we will read you the story from the Bible.

Al:

Make it a slough water slushie and you are on dudes!

Reagan:

“A slough water slushie”?? . . . Well OK I guess, whatever drives your board.

Actors start moving offstage Al:

On the way there I can show you this power jet move that I just invented . . .

Lisa:

Maybe you best cool your jets Al.

Al:

Likely that‟s a good move. . . I sure like you guys, I think I will give you the world‟s biggest hug.

All actors off stage
