If you take a drive through the coastal town of Carolina Beach in North Carolina,

you'll see a lot of familiar businesses.

There's a Walgreens, a CVS, a Dollar General.

But if you pay attention, you might also catch a glimpse of a 15-foot-wide animatronic octopus wriggling its tentacles in the distance.

I mean, it was about 20 grand for that, but it's a wow factor.

I want my kids to be able to say their dad owns an octopus.

You know what I mean?

Like, who doesn't want to do that, right?

That's Mike Matzinger.

He and his wife are the owners of Surf's Up, the mini-golf course where that octopus lives.

The concept is that you're kind of surfing the whole time.

As you go through each hole, we have write-ups about that hole that give you the conditions for surfing that day.

It might say the current's pulling strong left today.

Be careful you might wind up in the rocks.

We have a 1974 redone VW bug with surfboards on top of it.

We have five ponds that we've got a 15-foot-tall waterfall.

Like many mini-golf courses, surfs up has 18 holes.

It takes around an hour for a family of four to reach the final obstacle.

In the center of the hole, there is this mound, and there's rocks all along the mound on either side.

And if you hit it up and you leave it a little short of the peak of the mound,

you roll down to the right into the water.

The people that get most upset about it are the good golfers.
