Congratulations to Derek Riggs. He is the winner of the album Twinsman that we've been talking about this month that I reviewed with Matt Parker. I've had a little bit of back and forth with Derek through email regarding this, and he seems like such an appropriate winner. He's been a long time listener of the podcast, and he's super gracious. So thrilled for him. He is taking delivery of that board on Friday.

We'll have more giveaways throughout the year.

We're aiming to do one of these every other month.

So stay tuned for that.

I want to introduce you to Brick and Gage.

What's up?

What's up, boys? Gage, very nice to meet you to Brick and Gage. What's up? What's up? What's up, boys?

Gage, very nice to meet you.

Good to meet you both.

They've been surfing since August, so only about seven months now.

And I've really got to say that they've progressed pretty amazingly.

There's a few clips on their Instagram accounts of them surfing.

They're getting up to their feet every time they're going down the line, even squeezing off a couple of wiggles.

And I started surfing at the age of 12, and that was after a full decade of being in the water, catching waves on a bodyboard.

And I don't really remember how quickly I progressed, but I doubt that it was as fast as these guys.

It seems like it took me years to get anywhere near competence.

And even still, I feel like I'm closer to a novice than I am an expert.

But that's also kind of what I love about surfing, the inability to master it,

and the boundless reward and benefit you receive in return

that is in equal measure to what you invest into it.

And at only seven months in, Brick really seems to get that part.
