Aloha Surfer Dude - The Word

Part 4 of a 5-part series written to work with LifeWay’s “Outrigger Island” VBS program.

Al meets an overly enthusiastic fan, Zoe, who mistakenly believes he is a famous sand surfer named Tommy Townsend. Zoe insists that Al has won a championship and a big prize—but also owes money! Lisa and Reagan urge Zoe to check the book of real surf records, which proves Al is not Tommy Townsend. The whole situation helps Al understand a bigger truth: The Bible is God’s Word, and it contains the real truth we need to explore!

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?
