I was gonna post this to sounis, but you beat me to it!

Yeah, my first thought was also: Ok, so maybe she wasn't knitting...

Hahahahahaa! Thanks for posting this! I got the alert as well but hadn't watched it yet. That's amazing and I a very very jealous. For some reason I've always felt like maybe I could surf. And I'd far rather surf than KNIT, thank you very much!

(but while-she-surfs doesn't scan as well :( )

Hey, I knit! And I'm only 22. Although I must say, surfing looks cool, and I'd love to try it one day.

Oh no! I didn't mean to disparage knitting in and of itself, trust me! I have the utmost respect for the art of knitting and knitters! It's just that I've been taught to knit 17 million times by my poor suffering (well, not any more) Mom. I learned each time. Just not for long. Once I got 3/4 of the way through a whole sweater! Then Mom finished it. She made me some waaaay awesome sweaters and stoles. Unfortunately I should have a (menopause) sweater sale so someone else can enjoy them. :(

That's ok. I'm not offended. I'm actually more into crochet, and I'm really a beginner. But my grandmother was awesome. Maybe I'll be as good as her one day.

Can we get some "While She Surfs" tshirts?

I can't imagine that would be a spectacular success.

I am, of course, referring entirely to the knitted wetsuit: no disparagement of Ms. Turner's surfing abilities is intended.

I believe the appropriate response is, "surf those knarly waves, mwt, dawg!"

Correct me if I'm wrong. Here in the PNW we don't have much exposure to surfer-dude lingo.

....now I kind of can't get rid of the mental image of Gen surfing. Or Attolia. ACK.

Also: MWT is awesome personified.

I agree, Megan is totally awesome :).

...I'm picturing Gen trying to do handstands on a board, but I'm not seeing Attolia surfing. Maybe Gen will have to teach her to swim :)

All this time I've believed that she was knitting stoically, only to discover this... it is beyond awesome.

And now I can't help but wonder: is it difficult to surf with only one hand? Which of course is completely irrelevant.

humm it would have been much convincing if at the very end we can actually see mwt face up close and holding her prized surfboard..but impressive, the black dot. lol good job mwt!!

I imagine Gen won't like surfing, however I can picture Attolia for some reason.

is the water still not cold at this time, down there??

That's pretty impressive. You go, Megan.

Oh, how we love it when the Greenwillow authors pursue risky extracurricular activities when they should be attending to important publishing work!

Somehow I sense a little sarcasm here. :)

This is why we didn't get a map isn't it? Megan was hitting up the rad LA beaches while the rest of us were sitting at home with our protractors and knitting needles :P

O RLY? Wow. That was pretty awesome. Now we know where Gen gets the awesome balancing skills from.

This is what MWT was totally thinking: I'M ON A BOARD. I'M ON A BOARD. EVERYBODY LOOK AT ME 'CAUSE I'M SURFIN' ON A BOARD. I'M ON A BOARD. I'M ON A BOARD. TAKE A GOOD HARD LOOK AT THE M*****F****** BOARD!

No, I'm not a little bit obsessed with that song, why do you ask?

I love how the video was carefully edited to remove any sign of her wiping out.

So is this part of pirate training or what?

She's going to use her board-skillz to surf out to sea and join...

Dun dun duh!

Now, for some reason, I'm just thinking of the Dread Pirate Roberts. Maybe that's what happened to Sophos. He got pressganged into service on the ship, then Westley trained him to be the new Dread Pirate Roberts.
