I would bring Thomas Forkin – head of Atlantic City Surf Club – because:

A) He’s a lifelong, avid surfer who shares his skills with everyone and keeps the sport sane.

B) Even though surfing the East Coast is much like the roulette games in the casinos a few blocks up from our surf beach, Tom manages to get rides for everyone!

C) He gave me my first surf lesson and I need more!

E) We would promote the shit out of the trip – me as a reporter and he through the club!

D) We really need a free trip!
