Chapter Six

Hanalei Bay’s top end was buzzing with locals and tourists. I grabbed the board from the trunk of my car, where it had been poking out, and I padded down to the sand in my borrowed wetsuit. The pain in my body wasn’t so bad…except in my ear. First sign of salt water going in there, I knew it would be intense.

My gaze swept over the beach. Hundreds and hundreds of people. I spotted Mickey talking up a storm and his wife Marcie waved to me. I almost bawled on the spot. I hadn’t seen her for twelve years. I remembered she caught Mickey in bed with Ntino’s sister, Kiana, and left him. Somehow, I’d stop that illicit little union taking place.

I ran to her, poked my stick in the sand and hugged her. Marcie was a lovely woman and I’d befriended her on the surfing circuit before Mickey muscled in on our connection and offered to change my fortune. Yeah, right.

“What the hell is this?” he asked, fingering my borrowed board.

“A surfboard.”

“Jesus, Gaby, you can’t be serious.”

“Do I look like I’m doing stand-up?”

A puzzled look came over his face. “You are serious. Look, I brought the new board but…I…I figured”—he flushed crimson—“you weren’t that interested in riding it yesterday and Kelly Slater really wants to take it out.”

I looked at Mickey square in the face. “He’s interested in riding it without ever having tried it? In a world championship?”

Mickey’s nice red face deepened a shade or ten. “Well…he’s ridden it some.”

“Oh, I see.” Up until yesterday, Mickey had told me the board was still in design mode. At the hospital, he told me it had some design flaws. It hit me like a dead, wet fish in the face. Mickey never intended to let me ride the board. He wanted Kelly Slater—a sexier, hotter, more internationally-known surfer—to ride it. Kelly Slater would go on to be a huge star and Mickey would be connected with him, but still making money off my name marketing Loe Boards.

“But what about the design flaws, Mickey?”

His eyes almost busted out of his head. He glanced to his right and I saw his complete panic.

“Only a small thing, Gaby. Nothing to worry about.”

“Only a small flaw? What kind?” I was enjoying his discomfort.

Kelly Slater and a bunch of guys were laughing and talking. Like all good pros, Kelly had a couple of boards with him. Unlike most water-logged surfers, however, he also had good ears. He’d heard me. His head swiveled in our direction, but I pretended not to notice.

“Mickey,” I said, “you told me the new board has design flaws. We can’t let Kelly ride that thing. There’s too much at stake.”

Marcie looked at Mickey. “It has flaws? Why didn’t you tell me?”

Kelly made a move toward us, but he was first up in the surf heat and I watched him from the corner of my eye as the contest crew urged him to the shoreline. He removed the ankle holster attaching him to Mickey’s board and took another one beside it.
