Aloha Surfer Dude – The Real One © 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:

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.

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?

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!
all off stage
