He describes a harrowing incident. A big gust of wind starts to blow the tarp away that is protecting the board from sunlight. He throws himself in front of the board with his arms out to shade it.
"One spot got the sunlight on it, and it got hard just like that!" He snaps his fingers. But that spot was okay already.
