At the basketball games, Pete does his surfing skit where he gets people to lay down on the ground and he rides a surfboard over top of them. The Purdue Petes also do several of their own made up stunts. This allows the different Petes, who all have unique personalities, to put their own touches into the performance. It typically takes about ten minutes to get completely dressed up before the games. Purdue Pete wears a basketball jersey to the basketball games and is fully decked out with football jersey and pads for the football games.
