[Music]

[Music]

started already
Pacific open surf

contest is our
biggest weekend and

biggest headache
of the year smile as

you may see yourself
on ESPN anticipate

pose drugs staffs
fights and grifting

beyond the normal
and routine the party

had our first
incident this morning

be forewarned the
surf tour brings out

some pretty low
members on the criminal

food chain these
runners are ours to

patrol and pursue it
on the sand you will

all be checked out
on them by sergeant

McNamara I hear
she is been checking

out officer Cruz's
backside all morning all

right let the games begin

Harper

I got interesting memo from commander

MacKinnon yesterday
so I should be

looking for assignments
more suited to

unique police talents
wow that is very

flattering yeah I
thought so too he said

several units
coveted your services

after academy and I
shouldn't waste you

writing parking
tickets you have any

clue why a silver
bar commander would

show that kind of interest is

probationary rookie
not really I have met

it maybe twice he is always been polite

cordial and purely professional uh-huh

oh please you do
not think me and that

slug give me some
credit I think you've

said enough officer
in case you haven't

noticed I am more
attracted to the strong

chiseled athletic type

[Music]

all right here's your
stuff I am saying if

you agree something's
missing come on

what could be missing
your watch your

wallet your keys your
cash my surfboard

piglet what did
you just call me you

had the right man
right in your hands and

they wonder why
everyone hates cops

you might want to zip
it hot dog everybody

hear that typical cop reaction how could

a world-champion be such an ass how

naive our wings
are all my witness

looks mr. cutter is
not pressing charges

well him pressed
charges against me this

is fortunate for you
because you are free

to go fortunate
for me because if I

had to stand you
just one more minute I

might do something

that would end my career

now get out of here yes sir

[Music]

just so you understand this is

the lineup its
identification and

elimination yeah look you fit the

description of a purse-snatcher you're

also on parole for
robbery which makes

you a suspect but
with a positive ID you

could also be eliminated so a positive

ID can make me not be a suspect

yeah let's go this
shouldn't take too long

you sever it that
is hurt what did you

just say you said
a positive ID would

clear me well that
is her that is the

woman I robbed as
a positive ly 100%

identified can I go now

[Music]

[Music]

hey what happened to you look like hell

[Music]

you are nicer to
your fans and you are

flash sure let's break it up

that way

[Music]

was there any problem officers

[Music]

looking for rip cutter yeah

shaping boards in the back

[Music]

hi Terry Calaway Newport

recreational technologies

sorry shops not

we want to be in
business with you

you know waste much time do you this is

Monika Jaeger
nice of daily ager she

is been a shaper
since she was 12 and

she is got a great idea

I am here because
I love you boards

even though I think
your name is a joke

what is that supposed
to mean cutting

edge your board
designs are retro retro

haven't you ever
heard of vetoes and

grab rails yeah but
I think they are just

fads and giving
yeah but it is what

the kids want it
means you want to ride

boards of selim so

what is this great idea

Betty boards
Betty boards fastest

growing segment at
the surf market girls

10 to 18 years old
see what we do is

we make the blank
a little thinner add a

little extra rocker
use some lipstick

color schemes and
presto Betty boards

surfboards for
girls only good idea

what is your luck tell
you what why don't

you let me have this board for the day

I will show you
what I mean and if it

doesn't sell you
keep it no harm no foul

but if it does sell then cutting-edge

has itself a new
sublight of course that

would mean you would
have to spend some

time with me in close
quarters okay one

more time are you
