My adrenalina is pumping

Have any of you seen this? Seriously. The store was in a Coming Soon status for so long, I never thought it would actually open. And when it did, I had no idea what to expect. But this store, in and of itself, has turned me into a dirty old man.

Adrenalina.

It’s a surf and skate shop basically … extreme sports gear … and an indoor surf machine. I don’t know how it works exactly, but the water shoots uphill and you ride it that way. And what do you get when you put a surf machine in a mall? You get surfers in the mall. Surfing. In the store. In their boardshorts. That you can watch through the window.

Seriously.

There I am walking through the mall, and I think to myself “Oh, that store is finally open. I wonder what it’s all ab….. HOLY CRAP!” There are four, count them, four half naked, ripped surfer guys (I originally typed “dudes” but I just couldn’t say that without feeling like a dork), dripping wet, trying to ride this new surf machine.

To say I was memserized would be an understatement.

But how does one watch that, with families and children all around, without pressing one’s self right up against the glass? It’s hard, let me tell you. Double entendre intended.

I’ve been in the mall a couple times since it opened, and there’s always a couple guys in there. Some do really well. Some fall down a lot and get pushed, by the pressure of the water, all the way back up the hill.

It’s amazing really.

Now if you’ll excuse me. I need to pick up some Windex and head to the mall.
