"Surfer!"

I read "Surfer!"
The main character Nick wanted to go to Australia to surf.
He was a good surfer so he wanted to try his skill at the best place.
However, his parents didn't permit him
because he was a college student and he didn't have money to go to abroad.
One day, he knew a competition for surfers and the winner could get prize money.
He thought that he won the competition and he went to Australia with the money.
He had a rival Brian. He didn't like Nick because Nick was better surfer than him.
At the competition, Brian came at Nick on his board and hit Nick.
Nick was injured his arm and he felt his loss.
The judge looked the dishonesty however so Nick became a winner!
His father looked at the competition and he feel his surfing ability.
At last he was permitted.
I thought it is important to never give up to grant our dream.
