The Ride

A surfer is off to the seaside in search of the perfect wave. On the road he ends up giving a ride to all sorts of whacky characters: a soon-to-be married diver, a tired super hero, a bored alligator, a wanted criminal, a scared little girl ... But will the occupants of the increasingly overcrowded car make it to the beach? A wonderfully humorous story, playing on repetitions that will delight children!
