- Just go.
(splashing)
- Splash, splash, yeah.
- This is Ultimate Bucket List.
(rock music)
Where everybody gets to do something on their bucket list.
(rock music)
And we decide what belongs on the Ultimate Bucket List.
(rock music)
Are we doing it?
- We're doing it.
(rock music)
- We are here in Las Vegas, Nevada.
It is hot, it is summer.
- So excited.
- Theme today: water.
- And element.
- Fun fact, I can't swim.
- At all? - At all.
- This is going to be a challenge then.
- Yeah.
I think I could win.
I'm literally making you a different creature.
- What does that mean?
What are we doing?
- Mermaid School.
- Can we do that?
- According to research, you can definitely do it.
- So we're going to wear a tails and we're going to-
- You'll see, you'll see.
- I am going to be I think a beautiful-
- I think you will too.
- Really? - I agree.
- Yes, I think you have all the makings of a great mermaid.
- Merman.
- Merman. - Merdan.
- Oh Merdan.
(tropical music)
- How often do you get to say that like,
I was a mermaid.
(tropical music)
- Hi, my name is Kat, and I am your AquaMermaid teacher
to learn how to swim like a mermaid today.
(tropical music)
- Yeah, we're at mermaid school.
- Basically we fit you all to a tail to your size
and then we will be learning something called
the dolphin kick.
It's kind of like doing the worm, but in the water.
- So I've done a lot of body rolling in the club
but not in the water because I cannot swim.
So will I drown today?
- You will not drown because you have us.
- Will I get a good Instagram picture from this?
- That I can 100% guarantee you will.
- You know what, that's the only questions I had.
Those are main concerns.
- Let's get you guys fitted for your tails.
- Mermaid.
- This is like putting on jeans.
Hard enough.
- Why not try something different.
Be non-human for a day.
Be a magical creature.
- I'm a beautiful mermaid now.
- I'm excited to put on the tail.
- Look at Dan.
- And look beautiful.
- Wow you look amazing.
Just go
(splashing)
- Splash, splash, yeah.
- I'm a little concerned about Essence.
She's already a mermaid, just living on land.
- Oh my God, it's so cold.
- Even though she can't swim.
- I've made it to another part of the pool in one piece.
- I'm a little bit nervous.
One hand on top of the other, like this, right?
Oh God, I'm falling over.
Think I've got grace.
How do I look?
No, I would consider myself a graceful person.
(laughing)
- Why do you look like you're dying?
- Merdan. - Yes.
- Merdan.
(violin)
- If I have to put my money on anyone,
it will be Jazz.
She's naturally more athletic.
I told you. - Got it.
She's got it, we don't have to teach her anymore,
she's good.
- Yeah.
- I'm not even underwater and I'm not even swimming.
Flipping my fins alone is stressing my core out.
But after this, I'm going to take some good photos.
That I can deliver on.
(pop music)
- Okay, something that I wanted to do since I was like
a little kid.
So we are going to go surfing.
- How are we going to surf in Vegas?
- I will tell you how we're going to surf in Vegas.
We are going to go to the Planet Hollywood Hotel.
We are going to ride the Flowrider.
- Had me at Planet Hollywood Hotel.
- Here's to achieving Dan's childhood dreams.
- Yes, to childhood dreams. - Do it.
(yelling)
Off we go.
To Planet Hollywood.
(pop music)
- Hey, what's up guys.
My name is Matties.
I'm a Pro Flow boarder from Las Vegas, Nevada.
Here at the Flowrider today, get you guys surfing
on some waves in the desert.
(pop music)
- When I learn to surf, I don't want to be sitting around
on a board just waiting all day for the perfect wave
to come, trying not to get eaten by sharks.
I don't want that, I want this.
- We do a little bit of boogeyboarding,
a little bit of stand-ups, kind of like a skateboard
without wheels.
Nice even spread stance about shoulder width apart
with your knees bent.
You want to keep your shoulders and hips straight
and your face looking in the direction you're riding.
Easy enough, right?
- I'm not in a body of water so I will not be drowning.
I'll learn how to surf before I could swim.
- For the body board, your elbows on the board.
You lean to your left, and you lean to your right.
- I saw some pros wiping out.
So, yeah.
- So what does it take to be a good Flowboarder?
- Not falling.
That's the best way.
- Awesome.
- It's coming out at 32 miles per hour.
- I guess they're stronger than the average wave
you can get on a normal day.
I don't know, don't quote me on that.
- Relax, be cool, keep your weight on your back foot,
you'll cruise.
- When I fall, is that going to hurt?
- It is a sheet wave technology is, it is basically a mat
with nothing underneath.
- I kinda wanna fall.
(screaming)
- Ah, cold.
- I'm going to try and be graceful
and this is finally going to be a childhood dream
come true.
(country music)
(screaming)
Oh my God.
I did it, for like two seconds.
I'm pretty proud of myself.
(country music)
- So they say.
(pop music)
So fun.
- Like I can't even lie.
- Actually, my favorite part was wiping out.
I could wipe out all day.
I was like, again, again.
- You looked good up there.
And Jasmine, like again, how are you so good at everything
you do.
- Jasmine is actually Serena Williams.
- I could only wish for that.
I have a little something that we're going to go do next.
We're going water skiing.
- Oh, okay.
I've never done this before, have you done this before?
- Hell no.
(laughs)
- We're in the middle of a lake.
We're on a boat, on a boat.
Mom, I'm on a boat.
(pop music)
- Hi, I'm Jaime, I'm here with Las Vegas Water Sports.
I see that you guys are excited to go skiing today.
- Yeah.
Super pumped.
- This is clearly not my idea because I just see danger
all around.
I will say that it is absolutely stunning and breathtaking.
- The Hoover Dam is just over that way.
And we're going to learn how to water ski.
Like that is everything.
Summer bucket list.
Water bucket list.
Natural park bucket list.
How hard is water skiing?
- It's really not too bad.
If you have previous experience with other board sports
it definitely helps with the balance and what not.
(screams)
It's usually when we have people out here,
it takes like five to ten tries.
- I think you could do.
- I think I couldn't.
They're absolutely no circumstances in which
I would get into this water.
- The biggest tip that I have is a lot of people try
to pull in on the rope as they're getting up.
Let the boat do the work.
That's really the biggest tip I have.
Make sure that you keep those elbows nice and relaxed.
Because what usually happens, when you pull in
it will pit you over the front.
- So don't do any work, just kind of hang out there
and it's going to do the work for you?
- Exactly.
- Sign me up, this sounds great.
(pop music)
- I think it's going to be really thrill seeking,
and relaxing at the same time.
It kind of smells like meat.
From this zen plane.
This is so fun.
(screams)
- This is just confirming that I made the right choice.
Nothing about her sounds, sounds like this is easy,
or something you should do if you can swim.
- All right here we go.
- No (bleep) way.
Hell no.
- And do better.
- Our dear friend Jaime said that Jazz was off
to a good start, and if that was good, I don't
want to see bad.
(trumpets)
- This, this is what you call defeat.
(screams)
- [Jaime] Alright, next victim.
- Oh God.
- Dan is going to be wonderful and graceful.
He's going to look like a butterfly in the sky,
you know, gliding over a lake.
- I think that we've seen over time that like grace,
and balance is like maybe not what I'm great at.
I just want to stand up on those skis for like a second
and then I'm happy to just like, sit back and relax.
- [Jaime] There you go.
- Woo.
I'm so close.
- [Jaime] Yeah, I mean, I would count that.
You're up on top of the water.
- Just one more.
(screaming)
(triumphant music)
(screaming)
Oh my God.
- Good job.
- Wow.
- Crazy.
What a day.
- The mermaids.
You were equal part mermaid when you're in the water
and when you're on the rocks, so it's like perfect
for everybody.
Surfing, my childhood dream come true.
Oh (bleep).
And Jasmine.
- Water skiing.
That took wipe outs to a whole nother level.
- Just so beautiful too.
Absolutely breathtaking.
- What do we do, do we like count to three and then see-
- I got mine. - I got mine.
- One, two, three.
- [All Together] Water skiing.
- What, are you kidding me?
- It's like obviously for me, hell no,
but for the people watching this, absolutely.
Like it was the best experience all around.
- It's such an adrenaline rush.
Hit it.
(screaming)
But then your face goes directly into the water.
(laughs)
- Should we go for a hike?
- No hike.
Do you guys want to go to the strip?
- Okay.
- Let's go to the strip.
(pop music)
