Jesus! I was reading it thinking that you'd probably try and jump on the board and surf it then end up pinging off and smacking your head on the side of the pool.
After I got to the bit where you inserted the board in your mouth, I read the remainder of the story with my hand clutching my jaw as if I too was going to have my teeth broken!
I'd like to think that I wasn't that stupid as a kid but then looking back I can recall doing some pretty dumbass things that risked serious injury or even death. It probably helps that I was the evil older brother and so became better at instigating my siblings to take the risks and incurring the injuries in my stead.

Ah yes, you'd think that would have been the dumbest thing I did, but alas, it wasn't. I'm amazed I survived.
Still, I'd rather have had my youth than the video game and smart phone existence the kids if today have.
My teeth grew back and I haven't bit a kick-board since. 😁
