Before entering art school in the autumn, Rick (Matt Adler) sets out to spend the summer surfing Hawaii's beaches. Knowing nothing of the local habits Rick runs into some trouble, but gets a room in the house of surf guru Chandler (Gregory Harrison) by chance. Here he learns the difference between "soul surfers" and those who do it for fame and money, all while catching the attention of a beautiful native girl. Surfs up in this fun and scenic film by writer-director William Phelps.
