SURFING LATINA BARBIE SEQUEL
It’s a sunny day in Malibu, and our heroine, Surfing Latina Barbie, is gearing up for an epic adventure on the waves. She’s not your typical Barbie with a penchant for pink and a closet full of higher heels. No, this Barbie has a wetsuit collection to rival Kelly Slater’s and a surfboard for just about every day of the week.
As she heads to the beach, Barbie’s telephone rings. It really is her BFF, Ken. “Hey, Barbie! Ready to catch some gnarly waves?” Ken asks, sounding more like a 90s surfer dude than a modern Ken doll. Barbie laughs, “Ken, nobody says ‘gnarly’ anymore. Get with the times!”
Arriving at http://barbiesequel.com , Barbie and Ken spot a group of surfer dudes, every attempting to out-cool the other. “Appear at these guys,” Ken whispers. “They are like the United Nations of surfers.” There’s Australian Surfer Ken, who’s convinced each and every wave in Malibu is a ‘sharkie.’ Then there’s British Surfer Ken, who keeps apologizing to the waves prior to riding them. And let’s not forget Canadian Surfer Ken, who’s just too polite to cut any person off.
Barbie, unfazed by the eclectic group, paddles out. Suddenly, a rogue wave seems. It is enormous, daunting, the type of wave you’d anticipate to see in a surfing horror film. The surfer dudes panic, paddling for their lives. But not Barbie. She looks at the wave, smirks, and says, “Lastly, a wave that matches my personality: fierce and fabulous.”
As she rides the wave, a thing magical takes place. The ocean appears to recognize her Latina heritage and starts playing salsa music. Yes, the ocean is playing salsa music! Barbie, now performing salsa actions on her surfboard, thinks, “Who demands a dance floor when you’ve got a surfboard?”
Meanwhile, Ken is on the shore, jaw dropped, filming the whole thing. “This is going viral,” he mutters, currently thinking of the hashtags: #SalsaSurfing #BarbieDoesItBetter.
Post-surf session, Barbie and Ken hit a neighborhood caf�. They sit down, and Barbie notices everybody is staring at their phones, watching a video. It really is her, salsa surfing! The video is already trending, and the comments are hilarious: “Is she surfing or dancing?” “I cannot tell if I should really be impressed or confused.” “This is the most Barbie factor Barbie has ever completed.”
Feeling a bit overwhelmed by her newfound online fame, Barbie decides to escape to a yoga retreat for some peace and quiet. But fate has other plans. The retreat is hosting a “Surf-Yoga Fusion” class. “Of course, they are,” Barbie sighs. The instructor is none other than Yoga Ken, who’s wearing yoga pants so tight they look painted on.
As Barbie attempts to balance on her surfboard in a yoga pose, she realizes this might be the most ridiculous issue she’s ever completed. And she’s carried out a lot of ridiculous issues (don’t forget that time she attempted to be a pop star, astronaut, and president in the same week?).
The class ends, and Barbie is a lot more stressed than when she started. She decides to take a walk on the beach to clear her head. There, she stumbles upon a group of kids building a sandcastle. They look up and gasp, “It really is Surfing Latina Barbie, the salsa surfer!” Barbie smiles and decides to support them build the most epic sandcastle ever.
As they operate, Barbie shares her wisdom: “Life’s like surfing. Often you ride the waves, and often you wipe out. But you often get back up and attempt again.” The youngsters nod, completely mesmerized by her deep, philosophical insights about surfing and life.
Ultimately, as the sun sets, Barbie reflects on her day. She’s conquered a giant wave, gone viral, attempted surf-yoga, and constructed a sandcastle with future architects. “What a day,” she says to herself. “I can’t wait to see what tomorrow brings.”
Back at her Malibu Dreamhouse, Barbie checks her phone. The salsa surfing video has hit a million views, and the comments are pouring in. “Barbie for President!” “The Queen of the Waves!” “Is there anything she can’t do?” Barbie laughs, turns off her telephone, and thinks, “Just a different day in the life of Surfing Latina Barbie.”
And as she drifts off to sleep, she dreams of her subsequent adventure. Perhaps mountain climbing? Or deep-sea diving? Or, greater however, salsa surfing on Mars! Since when you are Barbie, the possibilities are endless, and the adventures are just waiting to be had.
