Mr. Marcus Skinner...

:00:25

care of the English department,
Stanford University.

:00:30

Dear Mr. Skinner,
My name is Shaun Brumder...

:00:34

and I think
you are a total genius.

:00:38

I live in California...

:00:40

in a place called Orange County.

:00:48

A year ago, I was just
another Orange County surfer--

:00:50

spending my days at the beach
with my buddies...

:00:55

playing volleyball...

:00:57

Spike it, Shaun!

:01:00

and spending my nights
around a bonfire partying.

:01:05

School was always a walk for me.

:01:08

I did pretty well
without trying too hard.

:01:10

There’s a tropical storm off Laguna.

:01:12

Let’s go, dude.
Surf’s up.

:01:14

I was easily distracted.

:01:15

- What about next period?
- Twenty-footers. Screw your period.

:01:19

Twenty-footers?

:01:21

Then last April, me and my crew
drove out to Emerald Cove...

:01:27

to catch some major tsunami waves.

:01:40

I don’t know, you guys.

:01:42

Dude, face the fear.

:01:47

This is intense!
