Aloha Surfer Dude - The Truth

Part 5 of a 5-part series written to work with LifeWay’s “Outrigger Island” VBS program.

The emphasis of this, (part 5), the drama uses the basis of the story of the Good Samaritan to show that my actions show what I believe, I can stand for God’s truth.
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. This makes for good fun, and there is a real, although silly, message.

The sketches in this series can be ordered as a complete set by ordering this script, or individually by ordering the scripts below. The individual sketches are:

• Part 1 - "Aloha Surfer Dude - The Real One" - God is real. Al is all about "Surfers on Sand," but when his friends introduce him to a real, undeniable truth—that God spoke to Moses—Al has to rethink what’s really "real."
• Part 2 – “Aloha Surfer Dude – The Son”. Jesus is God’s son. Al learns that faith isn't about legendary figures like "Surfin’ Sandy"—it's about the real and living Jesus, God's Son. Will he finally catch this wave of truth?
• Part 3 – “Aloha Surfer Dude – The Way”. Jesus is the only way. When Al loses his surfboard (or does he?), his search leads him to a much bigger discovery—Jesus is the only way to salvation.
• Part 4 – “Aloha Surfer Dude – The Word”. The Bible is God’s word. Mistaken identity, a crazy fan, and a missing surf champion?! Al learns that when it comes to truth, the best source is the Bible!
• Part 5 – “Aloha Surfer Dude – The Truth”. My actions show what I believe. Al’s reckless surf moves put others in danger—but his friends remind him that faith isn’t just talk, it’s action! Inspired by the Good Samaritan, Al must decide: will his actions reflect his beliefs?

Sample of Script:

Day 5: I know my actions stand for what I believe, I can stand for God’s truth.

Al is on stage surfing, Lisa and Reagan come on stage talking

Lisa: So I just couldn’t believe my eyes, I mean here they are, supposedly smart surfers, and they are doing these scary things!

Reagan: No kidding! They for sure should have known better!

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 badly 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!
