Surf Legend: a personalized comic book gift
Swell report first, messages second, and 'gnarly' said without a hint of irony: sound like anyone you know? They paddle out to the wave of the century here, face on every panel, hair perfectly salty. There are dolphins with opinions, a rival in a neon wetsuit, and a wipeout so spectacular it gets its own splash page. Perfect for the friend who moved to the coast for 'work' and has not been seen indoors since.

Questions about this comic
Can their surfboard or dog be part of the crew?
Yes. Mention a trusted old board or the beach dog who guards the towels in your answers, and they can get a role in the story. Pets and favorite things are often where the best inside jokes live.
Is it a good gift for someone who just learned to surf?
Yes, and maybe the most fun version. Describe their first wave, their most dramatic wipeout or the instructor they still quote in the 'anything special' field. Tell us in your answers if you want it extra funny for a beginner who already talks like a pro.
