Just add water! Everyone has stories to tell, but crafting your experiences into powerful memories that you want to share, again and again, is an art.

Join Gerry in a lively recounting of his time as a Wisconsin surfer. From building his own board to losing a few teeth, this tale proves that anything really is possible with a dream and some cold-weather wax.
