Surfer Dan can't swim worth a damn. Why then, you ask, does he have
the designation of being a surfer? Well, the answer is quite simple and must
be told. You see, Dan surfs concrete and asphalt like it's going out of style.
Whether he be bouncing down a set of schoolyard steps at Mach 10, blast-
ing away lean back ollies off curb-cuts and over car hoods, or just draggin' a
hand through a speedy backside carve at the Fatburger banks, Dan is always
surfing. Growing up in the '80s under the wings of two severely heavy metal
brothers who could spin 360°s till it made ya sick from watching 'em, Surfer
Dan has learned the Hessian way. You can see it in the way he drives (he
breaks cars in a very literal way), where he works (he's factory worker guy to
the core), and, of course, in the way he skates. He's a very likable sort of guy
once you get to know him, but a word of caution is in order for all those
getting ready to rush out and bro down with my man here. You should
never give this sidewalk-surfing chap excess amounts of alcohol-that is,
unless you enjoy waking up the next morning to find all your shit wrecked
and your woman nowhere to be found. Take that as fair warning, and,
who knows, maybe he'll surf through your town next. -Andy Harris
