With Yakky Doodle and Chopper, observing some surfer doing a "duck dive" in a surf video
YAKKY DOODLE: Rather impressive, Chopper!! And if you ask me, such gives "duck diving" a new meaning!
CHOPPER: I'd have to agree with you, Yakky! And methinks I've always wanted to try surfing myself!
YAKKY DOODLE: Come to think of it, who wouldn't--especially a duck like me?!
I found a glitch where Riku's keyblade retains its surfboard shape after activating a reality shift. It's only supposed to be covered in water like that while attacking. So if you ever wanted a better look at it here you go
Also we don't talk about surfer Riku enough... It's such a fun idea look at him shred
Every time i think about the zones i get distraught over the fact that the killjoys cant reach the beach which like isn't even something touched in canon maybe they can who knows but just in headcanon worldbuilding im like yeah lol cant get there for reasons ill elaborate on one day(basically the city is in the way) and just break my own heart because i just. I just know in my heart that Kobra Kid would absolutely fucking shred those barrels. That boy would surf!! We were robbed of beach killjoys and one day yes i will write an au where they can access the beach and i can finallly explore the zones surf culture that lives in my head just as much as the zones racing and skating culture does
natgeotravel: Ha'a Keaulana, daughter of Brian Keaulana and the grand daughter of legendary Buffalo Keaulana carries a 50 pound boulder while running across the sea floor to train for surfing. Her father teaches surfers that they should train for a four wave hold down in case of a wipeout in big surf. At 13 second intervals between waves, that means about a minute of being held down. It is one thing to hold your breath in a swimming pool for a minute and it something completely different to swim down 30 feet, pick up a huge rock and then run as hard as you can for a minute. Thanks to her lineage, community and training, Ha’a is a true water woman from Makaha. Hawaiians have saltwater running through their veins and epitomize what it means to be connected to the sea. 📸: @paulnicklen.
