Learning how to surf with his girl. Los Angeles, California. Friday 16th August. (Off Camera)
As they woke up in a hotel room in the morning, a few days before they go on the boat to sail away from America, it wasn't something Jake was looking forward to, especially the bridges he broke with a lot of wrestlers in SCW, and he was very close to quitting the company to move onto Emerge, the place that gave him a lot of respect in his eyes, compared to SCW. Of course, he wouldn't say that anymore because he knew he'd get fired for doing so.
Jake shook his head as he hated the thought of being surrounded with other wrestlers not named Fenris or Ben Jordan being on the same boat as him. His girlfriend Olivia woke up with him, and she sees the frustration on Jake's face, and she asks Jake a question.
Olivia: "What's wrong?"
Jake Raab: "I'm sick of people talking shit about me behind my back on twitter. Also, it doesn't help I have to be on a fucking boat with people I don't get along with."
Olivia: "Fuck them, you got me to worry about. Besides, you need to have a day to have some fun. I know you want to do rock climbing, but I can't find anywhere that does that sort of thing. It was good to know more about you last night other than liking archery and arrow stuff."
Jake Raab: "Yeah, I know I need to do more, but I just haven't been interested in the past. I know I need to do something different now. I thought rock climbing was something I could do here, but I can't."
Olivia: "Well, I know I've done a lot of surfing when I was younger. It's one of my favourite hobbies to do."
Jake listens to his girlfriend as this date they were having was only their third date and they still haven't had any physical contact in bed, mainly because it was far too early for them to do that, while they are still getting to know each other. Jake did get out a soccer shirt of one of the teams playing in Bundesliga, Borussia Mönchengladbach as he puts it on and Olivia asks a question.
Olivia: "That's not an NFL shirt, is it, is it?"
Jake Raab: "No, I don't know anything about the NFL, to be honest. It's a football shirt or known as soccer in your country. It's my local team, besides Dussledorf. They are great, although they are playing tomorrow night, my cousins, they are FC Koln fans."
Olivia: "Anyway, getting back on point, Jake, I talked about surfing, have you done anything like that before?"
Jake Raab: "Not really because Germany isn't known for surfing. More for winter sports and soccer."
Olivia understood it was clear Jake hadn't done surfing before. The fact he had Olivia with him made things better, even agreeing to go on the ship with him as he needed someone around that weren't apart of SCW. Olivia smiles as she says this while Jake thinks things through.
Olivia: "What about we get you surfing lessons and have fun? You need to do something, apart from gym work and archery business. Take a break from doing all of that and do something new, a hobby you could very well take an interest in."
Jake Raab: "You got yourself a deal, only if you agree to play some basketball when we are on the ship at night as I want to avoid SCW wrestlers during the day."
Olivia: "That's the deal. You like basketball?"
Jake Raab: "More playing it than watching the games."
Olivia: "Anyway, I think we better go and get to the surf school since it's a nice day for that."
Jake nodded, if he weren't with Olivia right now, he would be bored and have nobody to talk to. It was as if Gary helped changed Jake's life around, even if at some point, Justin Mountain did text Jake overnight to have a word with his attitude in wrestling as of late, but that will be discussed on the ship. Olivia put her clothes on as much as Jake did with his tracksuit trousers he wore as jeans wouldn't work if they were doing a water-based activity.
Once they got their money, keys for the hotel and phones, they close the hotel room door and went downstairs to the hotel reception and left the hotel that had the necessary facilities they needed. Jake and Olivia held hands and walk towards the beach, and as soon as Jake saw fast cars around, he sighs.
Olivia: "What's wrong?"
Jake Raab: "If only I had enough money to give you a ride in one of those fancy cars, I would've done that today, but it was over five hundred dollars, and I don't have that kind of money."
Olivia: "Well, doing surfing will be better anyway for exercise before the match against Ty West."
Jake Raab: "I rather not think about him as of right now. Please don't mention that name."
Olivia saw Jake's frustration with Ty and his comments on twitter that he had to find out, not from Olivia or any of his cousins, it was, in fact, his archery buddies of Gary and Ian who are finding out about the tweets other SCW stars are making about him. Olivia made a zip signal across her lips to not mention Ty or anything SCW related. They walked along the beach for almost half an hour, until they saw signs for surfing school.
Olivia: "Ah, I knew it was around here somewhere."
Jake Raab: "You live here?"
Olivia: "My parents do yeah, while I live in the San Francisco area. Anyway, let's get you some lessons and get you in a wet suit."
Jake Raab: "A wet suit?"
Olivia: "Yeah, you have to wear one when you do surfing."
Olivia goes to the man and pays for herself before Jake pays as well, and he measures both Olivia and Jake as he goes in his hut and get the wet suits for them and he says this.
Surfing school salesman: "Change into these, and I will get you your surfboards. Have you both done surfing before?"
Olivia: "I have, but Jake hasn't."
Surfing school salesman: "Sadly, all of our teachers aren't available, but I'm sure you'll be willing to teach Jake how to, right?"
Olivia: "Of course, no problems at all."
Jake nodded, approving of Olivia teach him to surf as the salesman gave Jake and Olivia their keys for their own locker space. After they did that, Jake and Olivia go in their separate changing rooms to change into their wet suits. He takes his clothes off, except his pants as he brought spare one of those as he places all of his clothes and his personal belongings in a carrier bag, placing them in the locker Jake was assigned to and came out of the changing rooms in a wet suit as he puts his key around his wrist.
He waits for Olivia as she wasn't done changing yet, but she was after five extra minutes of changing and saw Jake in a wet suit for the first time, and she licks her lips.
Olivia: "You look hot with that wet suit on. Now come on, let's get our surfboards out and have some fun."
Jake Raab: "Alright."
Olivia was dragging Jake, but it shows how excited she was to teach him how to surf, even if Jake will mess up, it was about getting him out of the house that wasn't wrestling or archery and do surfing for fun. They went up to the surfing school salesman and gave them their boards. As Jake did this in his past, he looks at the board and says this.
Jake Raab: "It looks like a skateboard. I did skateboarding a lot when I was younger."
Olivia: "Surfing is almost similar to skateboarding, just the boards are bigger, and you use them in the sea. Maybe you should do some skateboarding again if that's what you did when you were younger."
Jake Raab: "I do want to buy a skateboard today, but for now, let's focus on this."
Olivia teaches him how to at least stand on a board on the sand. Of course, it wouldn't help him in the long run. However, telling Jake to sit around and watch her surf was. He sees Olivia being good at it, maintaining her balance. Olivia signalled for Jake to go in the water as he does and once they were close to a wave, she says this.
Olivia: "To surf, you must do a front stroke before going faster to a point you stand on the board and maintain your balance. You think you can do that?"
Jake Raab: "For sure."
Olivia: "Good because this next wave, we'll do together."
As the wave comes, Olivia does a front stroke and then Jake copies as they swim faster until they get on the board and use their feet to surf all over, but Jake on his first attempt fell off his board and the water hitting him everywhere as he gets his board. Jake punches the water, and Olivia says this.
Olivia: "Calm down; I was the same when I started. I got more practice, and I don't have that issue anymore."
Jake nodded as he watched for the wave before he swam like crazy before Jake was able to stand for a bit, only Jake fell off again because he didn't have the balance quite right and Jake kept falling over a lot because he wasn't used to surfing and Olivia says this.
Olivia: "Watch how I do it, alright?"
Jake stands there to watch Olivia. He notices what she was doing was what he did, until she got her arms out, which is the primary key to maintain her balance. She surfed to the end before going straight back to Jake, and he says this.
Jake Raab: "Oh, so it's not only just about timing, but you spread your arms out to maintain your balance?"
Olivia: "Exactly where you keep going wrong."
Jake Raab: "I try again until I get it to a point we'll surf together."
Jake saw a wave coming as he did a front stroke on his board before he does it faster to stand on the surfboard and maintains his balance as Olivia claps for Jake's first run without assistance from Olivia. He does surfing a few more times on his own before Olivia joins in and surfs with Jake. As the day goes on, Jake was getting better at his balance, although he did have a few falls due to bad luck with the waves, but maintains it the entire time.
Four hours later, they were told to come back from the surfing school salesman, which they did and gave their boards to him. After they got changed from their wet suits, they gave them to the salesman and walked towards a skateboarding shop.
Once they found a skateboarding shop, Jake brought a nice board with Arrow from the TV series on the back of it. He brought it along with the safety equipment for skateboarding and left the shop to head back to the hotel.
Olivia: "Why didn't you skate home?"
Jake Raab: "Because I want to skate on the ship. I had a great day out with you today with surfing. I enjoyed that."
Olivia: "It seems like you did."
Jake Raab: "If you excuse me, I got some training to do so I'll do just that right now."
Jake placed his things in the hotel room he's sharing with Olivia as he got his gym gear and head towards the gym, while Olivia watches TV for two hours with Jake busting his ass in the gym as he heads off to sleep. The next day, he takes his camera to the lobby as there was one on his floor and due to Olivia still being asleep, he decides to go on camera now.

Twitter bitch needing to be taken down. Jake's camera. (On camera)
"You know it makes me sick that people like Ty West sees nothing wrong with tweeting shit behind my back without having the guts to address things to me where I can see it, aka in his videos or even backstage. OK yes, I haven't addressed things to you backstage either, but at least I address and direct things to people publicly with my mouth on camera rather than a phone or computer screen to let the fingers do talking for me.
Do you know how I know about your shit on twitter, Ty? Thank my friends I do archery with who tell me what's going on. I didn't know all of this was going on until one of my friends pointed shit out to me and showed me on their phone on shit you've been saying about me.
Yes, I'm aware I went straight into things without giving you credit for your skill. Trust me; you do have skill and talent to be in SCW and going for the SCW World title, believe me, I know you have it factor, despite our hatred for each other. I'm not stupid enough to rule you out as a threat and a target in the ring against me because you are without question. There's no doubt in my mind you can wrestle, and I would never trash your abilities as a wrestler.
Of course, it would set me off if someone talks shit behind my back, just as much as it'll set you off too if I was on twitter and talked shit behind your back as well. I never acted like I'm perfect and I never will because unlike some people around here, I can admit to making mistakes and I have because I'm still new to this sport.
I knew I would face you at some point mainly because it was going to happen sooner than later, even before you started talking shit on twitter about me just because of things I said about Austin. Just because Austin is champion and beaten me, doesn't mean I have to respect him and I won't. That's enough said about that arrogant prick cos this match isn't about him; it's about you.
Also, it's for an opportunity for SCW World title which once again, I didn't ask or demand. I never asked or requested for any title opportunities since I've been here either so you can't play that argument with me. I'm going to earn my title shot against Austin without it being predictable and being all respectful because of being beaten by him. That won't happen when I face him. Anyway, I save more to talk about later on during the week as I have other important things to do."
As they woke up in a hotel room in the morning, a few days before they go on the boat to sail away from America, it wasn't something Jake was looking forward to, especially the bridges he broke with a lot of wrestlers in SCW, and he was very close to quitting the company to move onto Emerge, the place that gave him a lot of respect in his eyes, compared to SCW.
