Aloha Surfer Dude - The Way

Part 3 of a 5 part series written to work with LifeWay’s “Outrigger Island” VBS program.

Al is searching frantically for his missing surfboard, using a magnifying glass to track footprints in the sand. Lisa and Reagan help him realize that his board isn’t missing—it’s back at home where he left it! This leads into a bigger truth: just like there’s only one place where his surfboard really is, there’s only one way to salvation—Jesus.

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?

Al is on stage, holding a big magnifying glass, looking downwards, all around
After a short time, Lisa and Reagan come on stage, watch for a short while

Lisa: 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: Really 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.
