Gnarly Surfer Tries to Squash Beef Between Legendary Wife and Her Grandma
Dr. Folklore’s Dating Advice for Mythical Folks (№82)
Origin Story: A beautiful Hawaiian surfer, Laiekawahe, was advised to marry Chief Keakalukahiouokawa by her grandmother, Waka. A local boy, Halaaniani, hoped to win Laiekawahe for himself but he was too shy to talk to her. One morning, Laiekawahe and the Chief were going for a surf, and the boy joined them. They caught the first three short waves, and she kissed the Chief after the first wave, but the boy hung back and said he was waiting for a long one. As the two were about to catch a fifth wave, the boy pulled her back and insisted to wait for the next one. The two caught the most massive wave, and she fell in love when she saw his surfing skills. After the two married, her grandmother was so upset that she cursed her.
Aloha Dr. Folklore,
So like, my most bodacious wife and I fell in love during a most excellent surf session, but my wife’s grandma Waka is totally disrupting the vibes. She’s still peeved her grand-daughter married me over this Chief dude she arranged — no disrespect, he’s no kook, but the dude doesn’t grasp what my tubular companion needs: finding and shredding the sickest of gnars.
