Houdini’s Manderpants: A Surf Story
I was in the zone—balanced, kicking, about to ride clean—and then… my ancient manderpants surrendered to Neptune. Just—gone. Slipped off mid-pool and floated like the ghost of my dignity. Katelyn laughed so hard she choked on her water bottle. I was mortified. These manderpants were historic—had mildew colonies once. Incidentally: these are the manderpants that ALWAYS FALL DOWN. I guess they chose this moment to finally transcend. Silver lining… I finally had to wear the newer pair that doesn’t slouch or slide. And guess what? My ride improved. Coincidence? Maybe. Or maybe the Universe needed me to let go of moldy ass-drapes to level up spiritually. Surfing is humbling. Sometimes your pants fall off. Sometimes you gain gnarl. Sometimes both in the same five minutes!
