0:17

0:20

and more. So down in

0:22

the show notes below you can learn how to

0:24

0:26

you guys ready for today's

0:29

amazing adventure? Holy smokes,

0:31

this one's from Carter and Taylor. Me

0:33

too, let's go! It

0:42

was a beautiful day in

0:45

Costa Rica as Carter and

0:47

Taylor were grabbing their surfboards

0:49

and about to hit the waves. Hey

0:52

Carter, can you help me with this? Taylor

0:54

was struggling holding his surfboard because

0:57

it was really, really big. Carter

1:00

was really strong. Yeah, I got

1:02

you bro, here. They both

1:04

grabbed onto the surfboards and it was a lot

1:06

easier as they worked together to get to the

1:08

beach. Like I said, it

1:11

was a beautiful day. The sun was

1:13

out, the birds were singing, and the

1:16

waves were crashing. Ah,

1:18

that is a perfect day to go

1:21

surfing. Have you ever been

1:23

to the ocean before and seen the big waves

1:25

that crash onto the shore? Yeah,

1:27

waves can be really fun and also

1:30

be a little dangerous. So you have to make

1:32

sure that your grownups are with you when you're

1:34

around those big waves just in

1:36

case those waves are too powerful.

1:39

Because oftentimes the current of the water

1:41

can pull you out and we

1:44

don't want that to happen. But thankfully

1:46

Carter and Taylor were with their family on

1:48

the beach. As they walked

1:50

closer to the water, all of

1:52

a sudden the waves just stopped. Wait,

1:56

what just happened? Said Taylor.

1:59

Just a second. Carter

4:00

and Taylor started swimming towards an

4:02

island that was just offshore a little bit.

4:05

They had been to that island many times before

4:07

with their family. It was a very cool place.

4:10

And they thought, maybe if they

4:12

could look on the other side of the island,

4:14

maybe there would be waves there? They

4:17

didn't know, but they had to check out and see

4:19

for themselves. As they arrived

4:21

on that little island, Carter and Taylor left

4:23

their surfboards in the sand and started walking

4:26

around the edge of the island looking for

4:28

any clues of waves or the

4:32

source of the waves. Hmm.

4:35

And all of a sudden, Taylor saw

4:37

something. Carter! Look

4:40

at that! What is that thing? He

4:43

was pointing off in the distance, right

4:46

on the shore of the island, but further

4:48

up ahead. It looked like

4:50

there was a giant whale! They

4:53

both started running towards the whale,

4:56

who had beached itself on the sand.

5:00

Help me! Carter

5:04

and Taylor were running towards the whale, who

5:06

was crying out for help. We're

5:09

coming! We're coming!

5:11

shouted Carter. As they

5:13

got to the whale, they started pushing with

5:15

all of their might. This

5:18

whale was very large!

5:21

But these two were very strong.

5:24

Uhhhhhh, keep pushing

5:27

Taylor! shouted Carter as

5:29

he was pushing with all of his might.

5:32

Taylor's feet were digging deeper and deeper

5:34

into the sand. It looked

5:36

like he was trying to run as he was pushing

5:38

on the whale. Inch

5:40

by inch, they were able to

5:42

budge the whale back into the

5:45

water. Oh,

5:47

thank you! said

5:52

the whale. Oh

5:55

that was a lot

5:57

of work! said Carter. Okay,

6:00

how did this happen? How did she get

6:02

stuck on the on

6:05

the beach said Taylor? Had

6:15

made some waves and then I don't

6:17

know what happened, but I got

6:20

pushed on to the beach I

6:23

think it was from one of

6:25

my own waves waves Carter

6:28

and Taylor couldn't believe it. That

6:31

was the real wave maker They

6:34

were right. There was somebody that

6:36

made the waves that they ride at

6:38

their surfboards on oh And

6:41

that's why there's been no waves Said

6:44

Carter you've been stuck on the

6:46

shore. Oh How

6:48

long have you been here? about

6:51

five days I

6:53

think Oh

6:58

Well, we're so glad that we saved you in

7:00

time I don't know how

7:02

much longer a whale could have spent out

7:04

of the water said Taylor They

7:07

went on the next couple hours hanging

7:09

out with this new friend the wave

7:12

maker the whale and Carter

7:14

and Taylor learned about how the whale

7:17

made all the waves with his giant

7:19

tail splashing in

7:21

the water They asked their

7:24

new friend to make one giant wave to

7:26

send them back to shore They

7:28

grabbed their surfboards and the whale counted down

7:39

With one giant wave of his tail

7:42

a Wave came

7:44

from his tail. Holy smokes Carter

7:46

and Taylor started zooming their surfboards

7:49

down this wave all the way

7:51

to shore Back to

7:53

where their family was Shouted

7:58

their family as
