Hey, Johnny, Check Out Your Grandpa.
Yeah. He's The Best.
That's Ok, Jakey. We Really Didn't Want Any.
Sorry, Brah.
Oh, Hey, There It Is.
Oh. See, I Told You He Was Real, Dude.
Hey, Johnny, Tell Him The Story.
Oh. Well, It Happened A Long Time Ago.
My Dad Was Still A Baby.
There Was This Small Plane That Crashed Over There Past The Reef.
Grandpa Paddled Out There
And Found Those People Barely Alive.
Yeah, But I Thought That Was Just A Story
Someone Made Up For The Tourists Books.
Oh, No. For Real, Dude.
That's How He Got His Name--
Johnny Tsunami.
Those Were The Raddest Waves Ever,
And He Rode In With Those People On His Board.
Saved All Three Of Them.
Hey, Pono, You Never Get Tired Of Looking At That Messed Up Old Book?
Hey, Can I Show Jake The Medallion?
Yeah. Can We See It?
Yeah. You Know Where It Is.
The Tsunami Medallion. Given To The Best Surfer In Hawaii.
Right, Grandpa?
Well, I Don't Know About The Best,
But It's Been Handed Down For Years
To The Person Who Best Exemplifies What Surfing Is--
Respect For Nature,
Courage To Surf, Brotherhood.
And Maybe Someday If You're Lucky,
One Of You Might Win It.
Cool.
The Young Johnny Kapahaala Snags Yet Another Wave
Here In The Finals.
Note Of Mention-- He Is The Only Am To Flow Through The Semis
And Make It To The Finals.
Not Surprising When You Consider The Fact
He's The Grandson Of The Legendary Johnny Tsunami.
You Couldn't Ask For Better Conditions Today Here At Pipes.
A Slight Texture Chop On The Water,
But The Offshores Prevail.
There's Johnny.
Hey, He Looks Good.
Yeah!
Hey! Johnny Tsunami!
How's It, Brah?
Hey, Big Mike.
We Came By To Make Sure
The Tadpole Carries On The Family's Good Name.
How's He Doing?
Looks Kind Of Close.
I Think Your Boy's Gonna Need A 10-Point Ride Here.
Hey, Mike, How Much Time?
20 Seconds.
20 Seconds? He's Never Gonna Make It.
Dude, Don't Send Him The Negative Vibe.
It's Ok, Jake. He's Got Plenty Of Time.
There's A Set. He's Only Got 10 Seconds Left.
He's Got To Get Up Before That Horn Blows Or He's Out.
That's Too Big!
No Way. It's Perfect.
[ Horn Blows ]
Just Made The Wave.
It's Almost Closed Out.
He's Gonna Get Worked.
Jake!
Sorry.
Come On. Where Is He?
Right There!
Yeah!
Dude, That Was Insane!
Thanks, Guys.
Jake Kept Saying You Got Slammed, But I--
I Didn't Say That, Eddie.
It's Ok, Jake. I Thought I Was Too.
See, He Thought He Was Too.
Hey, Mom, Grandpa. You Guys Came.
Pono, When Was The Last Time I Missed A Major Surfing Contest?
Especially One With My Grandson In It, Huh?
Hey, Where's Pop?
Uh, He Had To Work.
But I Know He Wanted To Be Here, Honey.
Oh.
No Aloha For The Old Man?
Oh. Hey, Pop. I Didn't Want To Interrupt.
I Heard You Had A Good Day.
Oh, Yeah. There Were Some Rad Waves.
Sorry You Couldn't Make It...Again.
Unfortunately, I Was Stuck Here,
Writing Some "Rad" Code For The Net Study Project.
I'll Try To Get There Next Time.
So, Hey, Net Study...
That's The One Where You Hook Up All The Schools
And They, Like, Share The Same Files And Stuff?
That's The One.
Want To See How It Works?
Sure.
Since We're Only Connected Here On The Island,
Let's Go With Something Local.
$34,000...?
You'd Think These Guys Would Be Earning A Lot More Than That.
Real Subtle, Pop.
No Matter What You Say, I'm Not Giving Up.
I'm Just Laying Out The Facts.
Maybe It'll Save You From Ending Up Like My Father.
Why Wouldn't I Want To Be Like Grandpa?
That'd Be Awesome.
You Know What Would Be Even More Awesome?
What?
If, Someday, When You'd Decided To Have A Family,
You'd Have A Job That Would Allow You To Support Them
And Be There For Them When They Needed You.
I'll Let You Get Back To Work.
Hey, Kiddo. You Hungry?
I Saved You Some Dinner.
Nah. I Already Had Some At Grandpa's.
I'm Just Gonna Go Upstairs And Do My Homework.
Hey, Listen...
I'm Really Proud Of You.
You Did A Great Job Today.
Thanks, Mom.
You're Never Gonna Win That Argument With Him, You Know.
There's Got To Be Something
That Can Counteract The Influence
My Lunatic Father Has On Him.
Hey. I Love That Lunatic, And So Does Johnny.
So, Watch It.
Johnny Spends Way Too Much Time With Him, Mel.
Pete, Your Dad Is A Good Man.
He Would Never Do Anything To Hurt Johnny.
He Would Never Mean To.

No.

'Morning, Pop.
I'm Going Down To Grandpa's. There's A Killer Swell.
We Need To Talk To You First.
Can't We Do It Later?
Jake And Eddie Are Already Out There.
Johnny, This Can't Wait.
Is Everything Ok?
Yeah. We Just...
Well, We Have Some News.
We Just Got Our First Really Major Net Study Contract.
That's Rad, Pop.
Yeah. It Will Be The Pilot Program In A Series Of Prep Schools.
Starting With One Called Skyline Academy.
It's Private. Great Teachers.
And Very Exclusive.
So You Have To Go And Set It Up?
Exactly.
So How Long Will You Be Gone?
It's Not Just A Matter Of A Quick Trip.
It's More Like A Move.
A Move Back East.
You Moving Back East? Like Where, Kauai?
Back East, Like The East Coast Of The United States.
Uh, New England.
And Not Just Me-- All Of Us.
When Are We Leaving?
In A Week.
Everything's Been Arranged For Us Already.
The House, The Car.
I Know How You Must Be Feeling Right Now,
But I Really Think You're Gonna Love It There.
You'll Get A Great Education. You'll--
Can I Just Go Surfing Now?
You Sure You're Ok About This?
Yeah... Yeah.
What A Rip-Off! I Can't Believe It!
Yeah, Man. Why Didn't You Just Say Something?
What Was I Gonna Say?
Have A Nice Trip? Write Me When You Get There?
You Never Know. That Could Work.
Maybe It Won't Be That Bad.
Dude, There's No Waves There.
No Surfing. It's Freezing.
It's Like The North Pole.
Hello! I Think He Knows That, Jake.
Let's Just Go Surfing. I Want To Forget About This.
If It Were Me, I'd Run Away.
Jake!
I Really Don't Want To Go, Grandpa.
You Know, When You Were Born,
Your Mom And Pop Named You Johnny.
But I Named You Pono. You Know Why?
Because It Means Goodness?
Exactly.
And No Matter What,
You Always Seem To Find The Good In Everything.
Well, I'm Looking, Grandpa,
I Just Don't See It.
Remember A Couple Of Days Ago?
On Tv They Said A Storm Was Gonna Come Ashore.
Yeah. I Thought It Was Gonna Blow Out The Championships.
Look What Happened.
The Storm Stalled And Probably Sent You The Killer Wave
You Rode For The Win.
I Just Don't Want To Stay There Forever.
In Vermont.
You Better Not.
You Gotta Come Back For This.
You Gotta Make Sure It Stays In The Family, Huh?
Johnny! Come On!
We're Gonna Miss The Plane!
And I Don't Think They Give It For Surfing The Internet.
[ Laughing ]
I'm Gonna Miss You, Pono.
I'll Miss You Too, Grandpa.
Remember, You've Always Got A Home Here.
Always.
Hey, Johnny, Did You Remember To Leave Something Warm Unpacked?
It Might Be Pretty Cold When We Get To Vermont.
I'll Be Ok.
How Bad Can It Be?
Oh, Man!
Wow! Vermont Sure Has Its Own Beauty.
Is It Always Gonna Be This Cold?
You'll Be Amazed How Much Warmer It Is
After You Put On The Right Clothes.
Wow. What Do You Think?
Well, It's Different,
That's For Sure.
That's Right, New England,
Surf's Up.
Hey, Pop, Can I Call Grandpa?
I Want To Let Him Know That We're Here.
I'm Sure That He Knows, Johnny.
But I Told Him That--
Tell You What...
Why Don't We Try Looking Forward To What's In Front Of Us,
Instead Of What's Back In Hawaii?
Besides, Your Grandfather's Not Going Anywhere.
Except Maybe The Beach For A Couple Of Hours.
Ok.
And Speaking Of What's Ahead,
Here's Your Class Schedule.
There's Also Some Information About The Academy Here.
Aah, I Wish I Could Have Gone To A Place Like This
When I Was Your Age.
You Don't Have To Sell Me, Dad. We're Here.
Right.
Look At This, Will You?
Your Pop's Got His Very Own Parking Space
With His Name On It, And Everything.
Yeah. That's Great, Pop.
Come On.
You've Got Your Class Schedule?
Yeah.
Do You Want Me To Take You In Before I Head To The Computer Room?
No. I Can Do It.
You're Sure?
Pop, I'll Be Fine.
I'm Not Gonna Make A Break For It, Or Anything.
All Right.
Remember I'm Staying Late,
So You'll Have To Catch The Bus.
No Problem, Pop.
Miss Arthur?
You Must Be Johnny.
Yes, Ma'am.
Welcome To American History.
Have A Seat Over By Brett.
What Planet Did He Beam Down From?
Hawaii, Brah.
It's Actually A State, Not A Planet.
As Long As We're On The Subject, Brett,
Could You Give Us Some Information About The Hawaii Islands?
Cultural, Historical, Anything You Can Muster?
They All Wear Lame Clothes.
I'm Sorry, Miss Arthur. It Won't Happen Again.
Why Don't We Just Start With The Basics?
Could You Please Name The Principle Islands Of The Hawaii Chain?
Emily, How About You?
Hawaii, Kauai, Lanai, Maui,
Molokai, Oahu, And I Think It's Kahoolawe.
Very Good, Emily. Very Good.
Johnny, Why Don't You Tell Me Something About Hawaii?
Hey, Have You Ever Seen A Volcano Blow Up?
What? I Was Just Asking.
Well, There Are Two Volcanos On The Big Island
That Are Still Active,
But I've Never Seen One Actually Erupt.
Why Don't You Tell Us What You Like To Do For Fun
Back In Hawaii?
Well, There's Lots Of Stuff.
Surfing-- I Do That Everyday.
I Mean, Unless It's Blown Out Or Flat, Or If I'm Sick.
But I Have To Be Really, Really Sick.
Like I'm Dying.
Or There's Also Wind Surfing, Fishing...
There's Great Hiking On The North Shore.
Kayaking, Waterfalls. I Go To The Beach A Lot.
Girls In Bikinis...
Pineapple Or Peaches?
Pineapple, Please.
Oh, I'm Sorry. I Asked For Pineapple.
And That Is What You Got.
Who's Next?
Pineapple Or Peaches?
Sorry, Hawaii. This Is My Seat.
No Problem. I'll Just Find Another One.
Bye-Bye.
No Way This Is Pineapple.
That Guy's A Loser, Huh?
Yeah. What A Loser.
You Can Take A Look At It If You Want.
That 'Zine Rips, Brah.
Rips? Brah?
You're In America Now, Hawaii.
Try Speaking English.
Oh, Sorry, Dude.
I Just Meant That It Was Slammin'.
You Know, Totally Nectar.
Do The Girls Really Look Like This In Hawaii?
I Mean, Like, Everyone?
Pretty Much.
You Can Give It Back To Me When You're Done, Ok?
Hey, Brett, Look.
And?
It Says Here, "Johnny Kapa... Whatever,
"The Most Promising Young Rider On The North Shore,
Goes Richter At Backdoor."
Hey, Brett, How Do You Go Richter?
Does It Look Like I Care?
What's Going On?
Oh. Not Much. We Were Just Welcoming The New Kid.
So, Are We Skiing?
Yeah. Let's Go.
Hey, Hawaii, Wait Up A Sec.
You Ever Ski Before?
Uh...Well, Uh...Yeah.
A Couple Of Times.
Well, We're Doing The Summit This Afternoon If You Want To Join Us.
Sure.
All Right.
How Hard Can It Be?
Whoa. What's With These Boots?
You Sure You've Done This Before?
Oh, Yeah. I'll Be Fine Once I Get The Skis On My Feet.
Well, Here You Go, Then.
Thanks, Mr. Edison.
Yeah. Thanks.
Whoa! Whoa!
Oh, No, Johnny!
I'm Sorry. I Really Am.
Forget It. Just Go.
That Guy's Never Been Near A Mountain That Doesn't Have Lava Coming Out Of It.
Come On.
So Where Did You Say You've Skied Before?
Uh...Well... Snowmass.
Yeah. That's A Great Place.
I Hope You Don't Get Bored.
I Mean, The Runs Could Be Pretty Tame
For Somebody Who's Skied Out West.
Ha. I Don't Think I'll Get Bored.
What's Wrong?
My Binding's Loose.
I'm Gonna See If The Lift Guy Has A Screwdriver.
All Right. We'll Wait Here For You.
Hey, Brett, Do You Think You Could Give Me A Hand?
Sure.
Whooooo!
Sorry About That.
Bye-Bye.
Whoooa...Oh...Ohh.
Whoa! Whoa!
Coming Through!
Legs, Don't Fail Me Now!
Watch Out! Here I Come!
Coming Through!
Sorry. Sorry.
Whoa! Whoooooa!
Hey, Brett, Maybe We Should Stop Him.
No Way!
What's The Matter, Hawaii?
Don't They Teach You How To Stop In Those Hawaiian Ski Schools?
Mind Telling Me How?!
I'm Sure You'll Stop Before You Hit The Highway.
Or Maybe Not!
That's Funny. I'd Be Laughing Too
If I Wasn't About To Lose My Life!
He's Totally Out Of Control!
Tell Me About It.
We Tried To Stop Him.
If He Doesn't Watch Out, He's Gonna Get Somebody Hurt.
Oooooooh!!!
Aaaaaaah!!!
Look Out!
Returns Are On The Other Side.
[ Laughing ]
Ow!
Are You Ok?
Oh, Yeah. I'm Fine.
I Didn't Hit Anybody, Did I?
No. But You Should Try Being More Careful Next Time.
I Don't Think There's Gonna Be A Next Time.
Congratulations, Hawaii.
Your First Day Here And You've Already Gotten Your First Clue.
I Couldn't Have Done It Without You, Brett.
I Wanted To Stop Him.
What?
Hey.
So How Was School?
Did You Make Any New Friends?
Yeah. They Took Me Skiing.
Really? How Was It?
A Lot Harder Than It Looks.
Oh. Did You Fall?
Only Once, But I Made It Count.
Are You All Right?
Oh, Yeah. I'm Fine.
Hey, Can I Go Upstairs And Call Grandpa?
Sure.
Ow!
[ Phone Ringing ]
Your Grandfather Not Home?
No.
Well, You Know Him.
He's Probably Camping Out On The Other Side Of The Island,
Chasing Some Huge Swell.
I Think I Better Do My Homework.
Mom Told Me You Had A Rough Day On The Slopes.
Yeah. So Did Everyone Else Who Got In Front Of Me.
Hopefully, You Learned Something From It.
Like What?
That You Need To Concentrate On What's Important.
Like That Stack Of Books In Front Of You.
Otherwise, You Might As Well Be Back In Hawaii, Surfing.
Pop, I Was Just Trying To Fit In.
You Know, Do What The Other Kids Were Doing.
Honey, That's Great.
It's Just That Maybe You Should Start Small
And Build To "King Of The Mountain."
Hey. Look What Finally Came.
You Look Like You Grew Up Here, Son.
Well, You'll Definitely Blend In A Little Better.
Hey.
I Never Thought I'd See You In Here.
What'd You Do?
Do?
Oh. Nothing. He's My Father.
The Principal's Your Dad?
We Like To Call Him The Headmaster.
Wow. I Thought It Was Intense, My Dad Working On The Computers.
It Must Be Brutal For You.
Let's Just Say I Have To Study Twice As Hard
And Never Be Late For Class.
It's Weird Though--
Out Of All The Rules Here At Skyline,
You Know What's The One Thing That Sends My Dad Over The Edge?
Do I Even Want To Hear This?
Dress Code Violations.
Well, Better Get Going.
I'm Gonna Get Worked.
It's Johnny, Isn't It?
Yes, Sir.
Well, What Is It I Can Do For You, Johnny?
Uh, Well, Ah, Miss Arthur Said I Wasn't Dressed Right.
I Think It's My Shirt.
Well, Miss Arthur May Have A Point.
Not That It Isn't A Fine Shirt, Mind You.
Thank You.
Has Anyone Told You Why We Have A Dress Code Here?
No, Not Really.
We've Found Over The Years
That If Students Don't Have To Think About
Who's Wearing The Latest Or The Most Expensive Fashions,
It Sets Everyone On An Equal Footing Right From The Start.
The Only Thing That's Important
Is The Person Inside The Uniform
And What They Achieve.
Make Sense?
Yes, Sir.
Good.
Then If You Think You Can Manage To Show Up
In Your Full Uniform Tomorrow,
We Have Nothing More To Discuss.
So, That's It?
Yes, Unless There's A Question You Have For Me.
Oh, No, No, No, No.
Thank You, Sir.
Quite All Right.
You Enjoy Totally Freaking Me Out?
Maybe Just A Little.
It Was Perfecto. Perfecto, Man.
It Was Sweet. It Was Nice.
Is It Cool If I Sit Here?
Oh, Sure.
Hey, You're The Hawaiian Kid Who Banzai'd The Peak Yesterday, Right?
Ha. More Like Kamikazed It.
You Were There?
Nah. But Everyone Was Talking About It On The Hill Today.
Oh. So You Go To Skyline?
Maple Valley.
It's The Public School.
My Name's Sam.
Johnny Kapahaala.
So, You Any Good On That Thing?
Ha! Well, I Have Been Known To Get A Little Air.
Is It Hard To Learn?
It's A Lot Easier Than Skiing.
Think You Could Teach Me How?
I Guess They Didn't Tell You The Rules.
What Rules?
Academy Kids Ski, Public Schoolers Board.
It's Been That Way Since Snowboards Were Invented.
Well, This Is Me.
Good Luck, Sky.
Keep Your Tips Up.
Sky?
Not Bad.
You're Actually Starting To Look Like A Sky.
Hey, Some Kid Called Me That Yesterday.
What's It Mean?
Shhh.
That's What They Call Anyone From The Academy.
Kids Who Go To Maple Valley Are The Urchins.
They Definitely Got Ripped When It Came To Picking Names.
I Never Thought About It.
Hey, Emily, Do You Ever Go Snowboarding?
Of Course Not.
Haven't You Ever Wanted To Try?
We Don't Snowboard, Johnny.
Why Not?
Because We Ski.
Urchins Board And Stay At Air Summit.
We Ski And Stay At The Resort.
That's The Way It Is.
Oh, Yeah. That Reminds Me.
I've Got To Pull That 360 Today.
You Now, Just To Show You Who's The Best.
Sam.
Can I Talk To You For A Second?
Yeah. No Problem.
Dude, Did You Miss Your Stop Or Something?
Oh, No. It's Cool, Brah. I Just Need A Minute.
Yeah. Go Ahead. I'll Catch Up.
Sam, He's A Sky.
Chill, Aaron. It's Not Contagious.
So, What's Up?
Well, Here's The Thing--
I've Been On A Board My Whole Life.
And If I Don't Get On One Soon,
I'm Gonna Lose It Big Time.
Since There's No Big Wave Beach In Vermont,
I Figure I Gotta Do The Next Best Thing.
That's Where You Come In.
What A Minute--
I Don't Care About The Skies
Or The Urchins Or Whatever.
I Just Want To Learn How To Ride.
Hey, What's Up With That?
I'm Just Checking Your Balance.
Oh. Good.
Follow Me. There's Someone You Gotta Meet
Before We Head Up The Hill.
All Right.
You Thought I Was Gonna Kick Your Butt, Didn't You?
Yeah, Right. You Coulda Tried.
Hey, You Better Button That Coat Up.
We're On The Other Side Of The Mountain Now.
All Right.
Kooo-Eee!
Kooo-Ooo!
Randy!
Hey, Sammy, What's The Haps?
I Found You A New Customer.
Randy, This Is Johnny Ka...Pa...
Kapahaala.
Yeah. What He Say.
He Just Came In From Hawaii.
Oh, Aloha, Brah.
Aloha.
Hey, Don't I Know You From Somewhere?
Have You Ever Been To The Islands?
Oh, I Wish!
Hey, Wasn't There This Outrageous Surfer Over There
Named Johnny Kapahaala?
Dude Was An Animal!
They Used To Call Him Johnny Tsunami.
They Still Do.
He's My Grandfather.
No Way.
No Possible Way!
Yes Way.
This Is Truly Phenomenal, Dude.
I'm Gonna Fully Hook You Up, Man.
Whatever You Need, No Charge.
Take A Look Around, Man. Pick It Out, Pick It Out.
I'll Be Back.
Thanks, Randy.
I Don't Have To Wear One Of These, Do I?
No. You're Not Cool Enough Yet.
Maybe When You Get Your First Big Air.
Maybe.
So This Is Just Like Surfing,
But On Snow, Right?
If You Say So. Go For It.
Oooh! Whoop!
Ooh!
Now, I've Never Surfed,
But All The Magazines Say There Are Two Big Differences.
You Know, You Could've Told Me That Before I Ate All That Snow.
Yeah, But It's Better To Learn First-Hand, Dude.
So, Are You Gonna Tell Me?
Yeah. First Is Steering.
In The Water, You Steer With The Front Of Your Board, Right?
Basically.
On The Snow, It A 180 The Other Way.
You Steer With The Back Of Your Board.
If You Try To Do It With The Front, You'll Munch.
So, I Guess Walking The Board Is Out Of The Question.
Yeah. That's The Other Big Difference.
Now Try Again, But Go Slow.
All Right.
Ooh!
Whooa!
Well, At Least This Way It Doesn't Thrash You After You Fall.
All Right. Try Again.
When Do We Get To Do That?
You Gotta Learn To Stand Up First.
Yeah. That'd Probably Help.
Put Your Hand Here. Come Across.
Oh, Ok. With This Hand.
Yeah, Yeah. Come Across.
Yeah. There You Go.
You Gotta Be Kidding Me.
Hey, Brett. Look At This.
Oh, You've Never Seen One Before?
Oh, That's Right. They Don't Have Snowboards At Skyline.
Wow, I Guess No Matter How Much You Dress Up An Urchin,
The True Loser Always Comes Out.
You Know, It's Kind Of Like Dressing Up A Bunch Of Snobs In Real Clothes.
Man, I Don't See What The Big Deal With Things Is, Anyway.
I Mean, Where's The Challenge?
Oooooh!
Yeah, Man. Nothing To It.
[ Horn Honking ]
Hey, Johnny, You Want A Ride?
Gotta Go. Keep Your Tips Up.
Those Guys From School?
Yeah.
See? I Told You You'd Make New Friends.
Hey, It'll Happen.
You're The First One From The Academy Who's Ever Crossed The Line.
You're Sorta In No-Man's Land.
Maybe If We Got More Skies To Go Boarding,
Things Would Change.
It's Not About Boarding, Dude.
Dad Says It's Like Any Other War--
It's About Land.
What Do You Mean?
Well, The Whole Mountain Used To Belong To This One Dude.
When He Died, Ten Years Ago,
His Family Divided It Down The Middle.
Boarders On This Side, Skiers On The Other.
Only Problem Is,
The Best Runs Are On Skyline,
And We're Not Allowed To Go Over There.
That's Completely Bogus.
Fully, But What Are We Supposed To Do?
Whooa!
You're Still Letting The Hill Work You.
You've Gotta Work The Hill, Baby.
I Can't Wait To Get You Out In The Ocean.
We're Talking Some Serious Payback.
I Hope You Do.
The Only Large Bodies Of Water I've Ever Seen
Have Been Frozen.
No Way.
I'm Serious.
This Is, Like, The First Place I've Ever Lived
That Hasn't Had The Word "Glacier" Or "Ice" In Its Name.
I Think My Core Temperature Is Like 5 Degrees Lower Than Most Humans.
Ha.
So, Just Remember
To Put Your Weight On Your Front Leg
And Whip It Around With The Back.
You Know, Just Be Aggressive.
All Right.
There You Go.
That's It. That's It.
When Are You Gonna Bail On This Dude?
Aw, Come On, Man. At Least He Didn't Face Plant This Time.
Whooa!
Are You Sure It's Cool With Your Dad That I Came Over?
Absolutely.
[ Jet Flying Overhead ]
Whoa. Do Those Planes Fly Over All The Time Like That?
I Guess So.
I've Been Living On Bases My Whole Life.
I Don't Even Notice Anymore.
Where Are They All Going?
Oh, Everywhere.
South Carolina, Texas, Montana.
Hawaii?
I Don't Know. Probably.
Is This Your Mom?
Yeah. She Passed Away A Couple Of Years Ago.
Sorry, Man.
Me Too.
Don't You Ever Get Tired Of Moving Around So Much?
Yeah. My Dad Promised Me We'd Be Staying Here For A While.
Oh, Hey, Sarge, What Are You Doing Home?
Well, I Finished Up Early Today, Sammy.
I Figured We'd Head Into Town And Catch A Movie.
Awesome.
Well, This Must Be The Famous Hawaiian Surfer
I've Been Hearing So Much About.
Yes, Sir. I'm Johnny.
Well, Aloha, Johnny. Pleasure To Meet You.
You Know You're Welcome To Join Us.
I Wish I Could But I Gotta Get Back Home.
Well, Maybe Another Time Then.
Tell You What. Give Me A Minute To Change Into My Civies,
I'll Give You A Ride.
That Would Be Great.
Dude, Your Dad's So Cool.
Totally.
So, Tell Me. What's It Like?
What's What Like?
Hawaii?
Oh, It's So Cool.
Just Think The Exact Opposite Of This Town
And You've Got It.
Hey, If You Come Over Tomorrow, I'll Show You.
Cool.
That Is A Wicked Big Wave!
That's Nothing.
Winter Of '94, Waimea Had 40-Foot Swells.
It Was Insane.
You Surfed 40-Foot Waves?
I Was Too Little.
My Grandpa Did, Though.
How About Your Dad?
He Didn't Surf.
How Come?
Well, He's About As Much Like Me
As This Place Is Like Oahu.
Hmmm.
Next Time It's Raging Like That,
I'm Gonna Be There. No Matter What.
Well, If You End Up Snowboarding Like That,
You'll Be Getting Bigger Air Than Anyone Around Here.
Except Me, Of Course.
Hey, Sam, Thanks For Doing All This.
What?
Well, You Know. Teaching Me And Hanging Out.
I Know What It's Like To Be The New Kid.
But It Gets Better.
Hey, It's All Good, Brah.
Something Wrong?
I Don't Get You.
What's To Get?
Why Are You Snowboarding?
Well, I Guess Because It's Fun.
You're Not Going To Try Convincing Me
That Your Father Has A Problem With That Too?
Very Funny.
Is It Hard To Learn?
Yeah. You Probably Wouldn't Be Able To Do It.
What Do You Mean?
Well, It's Just... Just Trust Me.
You Would Never Be Able To Get Up On One Of These Things.
Why Not?
No Offense, But I Heard That The Longer You've Been A Sky,
The Harder It Is To Board.
And From What I Can Tell,
You Were Born A Sky.
So You Might As Well Stick To Skiing.
Besides, You Wouldn't Want Brett To Get Mad.
Would You?
Surf's Up, Brah.
Can You Believe He Went Urchin?
How Pathetic Is That?
You're Gettin' Better. You're Gettin' Better,
Except For That Little Superman Dive You Pulled On The Hill.
Yeah, Right.
You Sure No One Followed You?
Very Funny.
Now, What Do I Do?
Sam, This Is Emily.
Sky Number Two To Bail On Skiing.
I'm Not Bailing On Anything.
Then, Why Are You Here?
I Have To Have A Reason?
No. I Just Thought--
Are We Going Or Not?
Ok, I'm Ready For A Real Run Now.
I Don't Know, Emily.
You're Doing Pretty Good For Your First Time, But I Don't Think--
If You Can't Keep Up, I'll Wait For You At The Bottom.
Wait, Emily! Don't!
Aaaaah!
Noooo!
No, No, No, No, No!
Aaaaaah!
Aaah!
Oh, No.
Wait Here.
Where Is She? Can You See Her?
Yeah. Yeah, I See Her.
Emily, Are You Ok?
Yeah. I'm Fine, But I'm Stuck.
Ok. Just Hang On.
Just Hang On!
We Gotta Get Her Some Help.
We're Gonna Get You Some Help-- Aaaaah!
Sam, No!
Aaaaah! Aaah!
Sam, You All Right?
Johnny, You're Gonna Have To Ski Down
And Find The Ski Patrol.
All Right. Ok.
All Right.
Ok. All Right. I'll Be Right Back.
Are You All Right?
I Guess It Depends On Your Definition Of "All Right."
I Guess This Is The Advanced Class.
Are You Sure He Can Make It Down.
Yeah. Yeah, He's Good Enough.
Whoa!
How Are You Doing, Emily?
I Can't Get My Footing With The Snowboard.
Ok. Just Hold On.
I'm Gonna Try To Reach Down And Get You Out, Ok?
Just Hold On.
It's Gonna Be All Right.
Hurry Up, Sam. I Can't Hold On Much Longer.
Oh, Check It Out, Dude!
Is That The Sky?
Did You See Him Stomp That Landing?
My Friends Need Help!
Where Are They?
Up At The Cornice!
Climb On!
Hold On.
They're Over There.
Sam, Emily, Are You All Right?
Yeah. Did You Bring Help?
Right Here. Just Hang On, Guys.
I'm Gonna Grab A Rope. I'll Be Right Back.
We're Gonna Be All Right!
Let's Just Hope This Reaches.
Here It Comes, Guys. Watch Your Heads.
All Right. Grab An End.
Wrap A Loop Around Her Wrist.
We're Gonna Pull Her Up First.
All Right!
Here, Emily.
Good. Emily, Hang On.
Here We Go! Ready?
1...2...Pull!
And Pull!
Good, Emily, Good! Keep Hanging On.
Ready? 1...2...Pull!
Ready And Pull!
Good, Emily! You're Doing Great.
1...2...Pull!
Almost Got It. Here We Go.
Pull Her. Here We Go.
You All Right?
Yeah. I Think So.
Ok, That's Real Touching,
But I'm Still Down Here, Guys.
All Right, Sam, Hang On. We'll Be Right There.
Daddy, I'm Fine.
Yes.
No. I Promise. I'm Not Hurt.
You All Right?
No. I Don't Need To See A Doctor.
Thank You For Everything.
No Problem. Make Sure You Tell Your Friend To Watch The Signs Next Time.
Daddy, That's Not Fair.
Let's Go.
Yes.
Look, Hawaii, If You Want To Hang With These Losers, That's Up To You,
But You Don't Need To Drag Emily Down With You.
Why Don't You Chill, Brett?
It Was An Accident.
Stay Out Of It, Urchin.
Hey!
Look. Stay Away From Emily.
The Only Reason She's Been Nice To You Is Because Her Father Made Her.
That's Impossible--
It's True.
But Now That You've Got Her Grounded,
It's Not Gonna Be A Problem.
You're An Urchin Now, Hawaii.
You Made Your Choice.
So Why Don't You Just Stick With Your Little Maggot Pals
And Leave Emily Alone?
Just Forget About It.
Sammy, Down Here!
You Know, You Two Were Lucky There Was A Patroller With A Snowmobile.
I'm Sorry, Dad. I Was Just Trying To Help Emily.
I Thought I Could Get To Her.
Well, I Guess In A Way I Should Be Proud.
Just Be Careful From Now On.
I'd Really Hate It If Anything Bad Ever Happened.
You Know Why I'm Upset, Don't You?
Because Of Emily And Headmaster Pritchard And Your Job?
That Actually Hadn't Crossed My Mind
Until Just Now.
Johnny, We Were Worried That Something Had Happened To You.
This Isn't Hawaii.
You Know Your Limitations There,
And You Know How Far You Can Push It.
It's Amazing. You Just Can't Help Acting Like My Father.
Cool.
I Didn't Mean It As A Compliment.
Now, Why Don't You...
Go Upstairs And Do Your Homework?
Why Did You Drag Your Father Into This?
Because He's A Part Of The Problem.
No Matter How Many Miles I Put Between The Two Of Them.
Please Don't Tell Me That's What This Move Was About--
Getting Johnny Away From His Grandfather.
Of Course Not.
But It Was A Plus.
Look. The Kid Needs To Understand
That My Father Is Not A Role Model.
He's Not A Hero.
He's A Surf Bum.
And I Don't Want Johnny Ending Up Like Him.
I Refuse To Allow That To Happen.
He's A Kid, Peter.
How Can We Predict What He's Gonna End Up Like?
Today We Wants To Be A Pro Surfer.
Tomorrow He Could Ask Us For A Drum Set
So He Can Be A Rock Star.
Oh, Please. Don't Even Joke About That.
I Really Hoped That Coming Here,
Taking Away Some Of The Distractions,
Would Bring Us Together.
As A Family.
Whatever Closeness We're Missing
Has Nothing To Do With Surfing.
Or Your Father.
Why Do You Think Johnny Loves His Grandpa So Much?
I Couldn't Begin To Tell You.
It's Because He Doesn't Try To Turn Him Into Something He's Not.
He Encourages Him To Be The Best Person He Can.
He Celebrates Who He Is Right Now.
I Know I'm Supposed To Find The Good In Things,
But I Miss Home, Grandpa. I Miss You.
I Miss You Too, Pono.
Look. One Thing You Can Count On,
You Always Know Where To Find Me, Huh?
How's The Surf?
As Big As Ever.
We Got A Big Swell Coming In This Week.
Oh, Man.
Look, Pono,
You Can Come Visit Any Time You Want.
Got A Hammock Here With Your Name On It.
Say The Word,
It's Yours.
[ Knocking ]
Ah, Grandpa, I Gotta Go.
I'll Call You Back Soon.
How Is He?
Good, I Guess.
So, Am I Grounded?
Why Would You Think That?
I Just Thought--
Honey, I Think You Pretty Much Learned Your Lesson, Huh?
I Did.
Mom, Why Does Dad Hate Grandpa So Much?
He Doesn't Hate Him At All.
They Just...
See Things Differently.
Like What Things?
Life, For One.
That's A Pretty Big Thing.
Yeah, It Is.
You Know, Your Dad And Your Grandfather Used To Have A Lot More In Common.
That's Weird Thinking Of Dad Any Different Than He Already Is.
I Mean...
Caring About Stuff Besides Work.
Johnny?
There're A Lot Of Things Your Dad Cares About More Than His Job.
Like What?
Like Being A Good Father To You.
I Think That's The Most Important Thing In The World To Him.
I Better Start My Homework.
Yeah.
Need Some Help?
I'm Ok.
[ Knocking ]
Come In.
Excuse Me, Sir.
I Really Need To Talk To You About What Happened On The Mountain Yesterday.
How's It Going?
Fine.
Well, I Just Got Back From Your Dad's Office And I Just Wanted--
You Talked To My Father?
Yeah.
Why Did You Have To Go And Do That?
You're Just Gonna Make Everything Worse.
Emily, I Just Wanted--
Johnny, Listen...
What Happened Yesterday, We Were Lucky.
We Were Really Lucky.
I Know, Emily, But Everything Worked Out Ok, Didn't It?
Please, We Can't See Each Other For Awhile.
Can't You Understand That?
But, I...
I Have To Go Now.
Hey...
Let Me Guess. No Skies Allowed?
No. What You Did Yesterday,
Getting Massive Air Off That Jump To Help Sam And That Sky Girl.
Mad Props, Dude.
You're A Real Charger.
Thanks, Brah.
I Didn't Even Know You Saw That.
What's This?
Now You're Cool Enough.
We're Going On A Sky Raid.
What's That?
There's New Powder On The Back Summit.
The Phattest Runs On The Hill, Man.
You Wanna Come?
Can't We Get Busted For That?
Hey. Only If They Catch Us.
Urchins' Motto, Man--
"Go Big Or Go Home."
All Right.
All Right. Come On, Y'all. Let's Go.
Don't These Guys Ever Stay Home?
Yeah. We Should Bail.
You Know, My Grandpa Always Says That The Waves Are For Everybody.
Why Should This Be Any Different?
You're Not Supposed To Be On This Run!
Really? Is That Written Somewhere?
It Doesn't Have To Be.
Brett! This Is Getting Really Stupid.
Just Let It Go!
No! We're Not Letting It Go.
Look. If You Guys Want To Join 'Em,
Turn In Your Jackets And Learn How To Snowboard.
Not Me. I'm Never Getting On One Of Those Things Again.
Look, Hawaii, Take Your Bunch Of Rejects
Back To Air Summit Now.
We're Not Leaving.
These Are The Best Runs On The Mountain
And We Should Be Able To Ride 'Em Too.
I'm Serious! Take A Hike!
Are You Gonna Leave, Or What?
Ok, Urchin!
Smack Him!
Yo-Yo, I Know You Want To Take Me On.
Guys, Stop Fighting!
The Ski Patrol, Man!
Let's Get Outta Here!
Don't Even Bother Showing Up To School Tomorrow.
If You Do, You're Toast!
Let's Go, Emily.
Remember What Your Father Said.
Hey, Are You All Right?
Yeah.
You Guys All Right?
Uh, Yeah.
Yeah.
It Must Be The Altitude.
You Might Want To Head Back To Air Summit.
Yeah, Yeah. That's Where We Were Going.
If My Dad Finds Out About This,
I'm Gonna Be Toast.
Maybe He Won't Find Out.
That's Not What Happened.
He Started It. I Was Just Defending Myself.
I Can Only Go By What The Other Kids Told Me.
There Was A Fight,
Which You And The Other Kids On Snowboards Started.
That's Completely Bogus.
Did You Talk To Emily?
What Did She Say?
We're Getting Away From The Point.
Which Is, That Like Our Dress Code,
Which We've Been Over Already,
We Have A Behavior Code That Says
That You Can't Start A Fight With Another Student.
No Matter What The Circumstance.
Yes, Sir.
According To The Skyline By-Laws, I Could Expel You.
After Talking With Your Parents,
I've Decided I'm Only Going To Give You A Warning.
But, From Here On Out, You're On Probation.
Thank You, Sir.
You Have To Make A Pivotal Decision, Johnny.
About What?
Where Do You Want To Fit In Around Here?
I'm Sorry, Sir. I Don't Understand.
Your Friends, Johnny. I'm Talking About Your Friends.
Are You Saying You Want Me To Choose Between The Skies And The Urchins?
Skyline Has The Reputation That It Does For A Reason.
The Children That Go To School Across Town
Will Never Have The Same Opportunities
That You Will Have If You Stay Here.
But That's Not Fair.
I Mean, It Shouldn't Be That Way.
Just Like The Mountain Shouldn't Be Divided In Two.
It May Not Be Fair, But It's Reality.
In The Real World, It's Exactly The Same.
Good Or Bad, Right Or Wrong, It's Fact.
You Have The Chance To Be A Winner, Johnny.
I Would Hate To See You Give Up That Chance
Just For A Few Rides Down The Mountain,
Strapped To A Piece Of Wood.
At Least I Didn't Get Kicked Out.
You See That As Some Sort Of Victory?
Can We Please Wait Till We Get Home To Talk About This?
I'm Telling You The Truth.
I Didn't Start It.
Hey, Sam.
Look. I Can't Really Hang Out Right Now.
Me Either, But I've Got To Talk To You.
Sam, Whatever It Is, It's Gonna Have To Wait.
I Know, Sir, But It's Important.
If I Could Just--
Sam, I Said--
Peter, Why Don't You And I Go Inside
And Give These Guys... 5 Minutes?
Yeah, Yeah. That's All I Need.
Fine. But That's It.
Then Inside.
You're In It Deep, Huh?
Majorly.
I Don't Even Want To Think About It.
Oh, So What Were You Gonna Tell Me?
You Know How My Dad Said We'd Be Staying Here For A While?
Yeah.
Well, They Gave Him A New Post
And A Promotion To Sergeant Major.
We Leave At The End Of The Week.
For...?
Iceland.
And I Am So Over Being Cold.
That Is Way Harsh. I Can't Even Believe It.
You Can't Believe It?
How Do You Think I Feel?
My Dad Promised.
I Mean, He Promised Me!
I'm Sorry, Brah.
I Like It Here.
Hanging With You. Boarding.
I Don't Want To Move Again.
We Gotta Do Something.
Too Late.
It's Over.
What Was So Important?
Sam's Moving To Iceland.
Johnny, I'm So Sorry.
You May Not Want To Hear This,
But Sam Leaving Is Probably For The Best.
How Can You Even Say That?
You Have To Learn To Get Along With Your Peers.
Until You Do, I Want You To Stay Away From Those Urchins.
Pete!
And I Don't Want You Snowboarding.
I Can't Believe My Own Father's A Sky.
Johnny...
You Know, I Thought Moving Here Was The Worst Day Of My Life.
I Tried To Fit It. I Tried To Get Along.
And Finally I Start To, And My Best Friend Moves Away.
Now You're Telling Me I Can't Even Hang Out
With The Only Other Ones I Have.
This Reeks So Bad I Can't Even Take It!
Some Day You'll Understand Why I'm Doing This.
No, Pop. I Never Will.
There's Nothing Right About This, And You Know It.
I Wish Grandpa Was Here.
At Least, He Understands Me.
Hey, It's Me.
Let Me Ask You A Question--
Exactly How Cold Are You?
Look At This.
"Mom And Pop,
"I'm Sorry For Everything, For Letting You Down,
"But Sam And I Can't Live Here Anymore.
"Please Don't Worry About Us.
We'll Be Fine Where We're Going."
Where Is He?
I Don't Know.
I Don't Believe This.
I Do. I Have No Problem Believing This.
[ Doorbell Rings ]
Did You Get One Of These?
Can You Think Of Anywhere They Would Go?
They're Two 13-Year-Olds With No Money.
How Far Can They Possibly Get?
I Still Think My Dad's Gonna Have Me Court-Martialed
Once He Finds Out We Snuck Onto One Of Their Planes.
Yeah, But Tell Me This Isn't Worth It.
All Right. It's Worth It. It's Worth It, All Right.
Pono!
That's My Grandpa!
You've Got To Hand It To 'Em, Pete.
Hopping A Military Transport And Flying Halfway Around The World
Shows Some Serious Ingenuity, Huh?
No, Dad. What It Shows Is Some Serious Stupidity.
And I Can Only Imagine That You Welcomed Them With Open Arms.
Oh, Ho Ho Ho.
I Hate To Stop This Fight
Before We Get To The Later Rounds,
But It's Not About You And Me.
You Better Let Me Talk To Him.
They're Sleeping. Let 'Em Rest.
Fine. Then You Will Get Them On A Flight Back Tomorrow.
Well, I Guess I Could, But I'm Not Going To.
What'd You--
What Do You Mean, You're Not Going To?
Just What I Said.
I'm Not Gonna Force 'Em To Go Back.
This Isn't A Game.
You Are Going To Send Those Two Back. Do You Understand Me?
I'll Make Sure They Get Back, Pete.
But Only When They're Ready.
Otherwise They'll Do It Again.
Listen To Me--
Give It A Try. It'll Be Ok.
It'll Work Out, Son.
You Just Worry About What To Do When They Get Back To Vermont.
Aloha.
But, Dad--
What's The Matter?
Are They Coming Back Tomorrow?
My Dad Thinks They Need To Make That Decision On Their Own.
He Makes Me Absolutely Crazy.
The Boys Are In Good Hands, Really. Don't Worry.
Are You Sure?
Very.
You Know, When Johnny Was Born,
We Said That, No Matter What,
When It Came To What's Best For Him,
We Would Stick Together.
We'd Be A Team In Raising Our Son.
And It's Worked Pretty Well Up Until Recently.
It Has. But Something's Changed, Peter.
What's Changed?
What, You Think It's Me?
Somewhere Along The Way,
I Lost The Boy From The North Shore I Fell In Love With.
I Couldn't Stay A Kid Forever, Mel.
Not If I Was Gonna Provide For This Family The Way I Have.
Well, I Would Gladly Give Some Of It Back
To Spend One Day With The Pete Kapahaala
Who Was So Happy.
Who Loved Life So Much.
Don't You Think You're Being A Little Melodramatic?
All I Can Say Is, I Can't Sit By
And Watch You Strip Our Son Of The Same Joy
You Used To Have.
Can You Believe That Within This Two-Mile Stretch Of Beach
There're 15 Of The Best Waves In The World?
Hey.
Hey. Good Morning.
Uh, Grandpa,
You're Not Gonna Send Us Back, Are You?
Yeah, Mr. Tsunami, I Really Like It Here.
Well, If You Two Really Want To Stay,
I'm Not Gonna Stop You.
Are You Serious?
As Far As I'm Concerned,
You Can Crash Here As Long As You Want.
All Right!
Hey, Have Fun Today, Man.
Oh, Hey, Sam. You Sure It's Ok?
I Could Stay And Teach You.
Go For It. Your Grandpa's Gonna Have Me Riding
Before You Get Back.
Ready, Sam?
Oh, Yeah, Man.
Johnny K.!
We Heard You Were Back But We Didn't Believe It.
Hey, Guys.
Yeah, Dude. It's Like That Movie The Rock.
They Were Trapped In That Brutal Prison
And They Barely Escaped With Their Lives.
Jakey, It Wasn't That Bad.
You Guys Hear The Report?
Yeah. It's Raging At Pipeline.
Dude, Let's Go Before It Gets Zoo'd.
Uh, Look. You Guys Go Ahead.
I Gotta Take Care Of Something.
Sure. Right. Funny Man.
I'm Serious. I'm Staying.
Oh, Hey, Pono!
Man, That Was So Awesome.
I Wish My Dad Could've Been Here To See Me.
Your Dad Would've Been Plenty Proud, Sam.
I Can't Believe I Ever Left Hawaii.
Well, Sometimes I Wish I Could've Gone In Your Place, Pono.
No Way. Why Would You Ever Want To Do That?
Think About It.
You'll Always Know That You Can Ride Waves
As Good As Anybody In The Island.
But You, You Got To Go To A World Complete Opposite Of Here.
And Ride Waves There.
Grandpa, I'm Pretty Sure There Aren't Any Waves There.
At Least, I Didn't See Any.
You Sure Now?
Yeah. I Lived There For Awhile
And I'm Pretty Sure Johnny's Right On This One.
There's No Waves. No.
Sometimes They Don't Look Like Waves, Sam.
Sometimes They Look Like Mounds Of Snow
And Sometimes They Look Like Things You Don't Like To Do.
I Think What My Grandpa's Trying To Say
Is That You've Got To Deal With Everything That's Happening.
You Know, Kind Of Like A Raging Swell.
Yeah. Something Like That.
Mr. T., Is It All Right If I Go Call My Dad?
Sure. Help Yourself, Sam.
It Was A Righteous Thing You Did, Pono--
Staying, Helping Your Friend.
Well, That's What You Would Have Done.
You Know, Pop Says I Get More And More Like You Every Day.
That's What You Want?
Oh, Sure.
That's Ok, Isn't It?
Yeah, Yeah. But I'm Not Perfect, Pono.
But I Guess You Heard That Somewhere Before, Huh?
Ha Ha. Grandpa.
Don't Get Me Wrong, Pono.
I'm Proud That You Want To Bring A Big Wave Of Glory To The Family Name.
But I Want You To Find Your Own Greatness.
Guaranteed. When You Do, It'll Be Far Better
Than Anything I Ever Did.
Sam's Still Asleep.
I Guess That Lesson Yesterday Must've Taken A Lot Out Of Him, Huh?
Yeah.
Grandpa, When I Was First Learning How To Surf,
Was I Any Good?
What, You Don't Remember?
Not Really. I Was Kind Of Little.
Well, Pono,
It Wasn't A Pretty Sight.
It Took You A Long Time To Get Up,
But You Never Give Up And That's What Counts, Huh?
It's Just Like Everything Back In Vermont Is Just So Hard.
Well, For Some People That Would Be Reason Enough To Stay Here.
Probably A Better Reason To Go Back, Though.
Isn't It?
Hoo-Hoo-Hoo! Pono, This Is One Of Those Times
I'm Certain You're My Grandson.
So You're Not Mad At Me Then?
Nah. No Way.
In Fact, Remember I Said I Want To Go In Your Place?
Yeah.
Yee-Ha-Ha-Hee-Hee!
Watch Your Step.
Oh, It's Beautiful.
You Didn't Do This Place Justice, Pono.
Mom!
Hey, Pete.
Dad.
You Could've Just Put 'Em On A Plane.
What, And Miss This Look On Your Face?
Hey.
Is This Us?
Yeah.
Ok.
So, You Must Be Really Mad At Me. Aren't You?
We'll Talk About It Later.
Once I Get Over The Shock Of Seeing Your Grandfather.
You Know, Pono, I Think The Stars Are Even Brighter Here
Than Back Home In Kilauea.
Yeah. They Are.
Well, I Better Get To Bed Now.
You Better Rest Up.
You've Got A Big Day Tomorrow.
We Do?
What, You Think I Came All This Way
To Sit On A Porch And Look At Stars With You?
Good Night, Pono.
Good Night, Grandpa.
Good Night, Pop.
Good Night.
How'd You Get Him To Come Home?
I Didn't Have To Do Much, Pete.
Smart Kid.
More Like His Father Than He'll Ever Admit.
Well, Whatever You Did, I Appreciate It.
I Really Thought Moving Here Was Gonna Be The Best For Him.
I Wanted To Give Him A Great Opportunity.
Do You Know Why You Did It?
You Didn't Want Him To End Up Like Me.
That's Not True, Dad.
Of Course It Is.
It's Ok.
Dad, Listen--
Look. He's Just A Kid.
But A Kid Who Does Something Better Than Just About Anybody.
You Take That Away From Him,
You Take Away Part Of Him.
I Never Had The Passion For Surfing Like You Or Johnny.
Well, Maybe It Skips A Generation.
Your Grandfather Couldn't Even Swim.
If I Could Go Back,
There's A Lot Of Things I Would've Done
To Have Been A Better Father To You.
But There's One Thing I Wouldn't Change, No Matter What.
What's That?
You Know, When You Quit Surfing,
To Me, That Was Like Quitting School.
No Matter How Much I Wanted To Force You Back In The Water, It...
It's Good That You Didn't.
Nothing Could've Changed My Mind.
Exactly.
And Nothing's Gonna Change Johnny's.
He's Gonna Do What He's Gonna Do.
With Our Blood Running Through Him,
Not Even Kamehameha Could Stop Him Now.
What's Done Is Done Between Us.
But I'm Proud Of You, Son.
I Just Hope You'll Be Proud Of Johnny When The Time Comes.
Maybe We Should Get Home.
I Mean, I'm Still Supposed To Be Grounded.
And I'm For Sure Not Supposed To Be Over Here.
Did Your Dad Ever Teach You To Listen To Your Elders, Pono?
Yeah.
Well, I'm Definitely Your Elder.
So Listen, I'll Take Care Of Your Dad.
You Just Worry About Showing Me The Best Runs On The Mountain, Ok?
You Got It, Grandpa.
Grandpa, Check This Out.
Oh, Longboard Style.
Ha Ha! No Way, Dude!
Johnny Tsunami Right Here At Randy's Riders!
Aloha, Randy.
I Just Wanted To Come By Personally
And Thank You For Taking Care Of The Little Tadpole Here.
Oh, Not A Problem.
May I Say It Is Completely Out Of Control
To Have You In My Humble Establishment.
Sorry I Don't Carry Any Surf Gear,
But We Don't Get Much Call.
But You Can Help Us With Snowboards Then.
Oh, This Is Epic!
Johnny Tsunami's Going Huge,
Busting Out The Big Air Show Stick!
[ Crashing ]
Now Worry. I'll Get That Later.
Randy, We'll Take Two Of These.
So You Ready To Catch The Big Wave, East Coast Style, Pono?
Grandpa, Don't You Think You Should Learn A Few Of The Basics First?
Don't Worry About Me.
Just See If You Can Keep Up.
I'm Ready, Pono. Hee-Hee!
No Way Did That Just Happen.
How Did You-- How Come You Never Told Me You Knew How To Snowboard?
How Come You Never Asked?
Hey, Hawaii, Who's The Freak?
Johnny's Grandfather. Nice To Meet You, Brett.
How'd You Know My Name?
Lucky Guess.
Yeah, Well, Don't Even Think About Going Down This Trail.
It's Just Been Declared Urchin Free.
You Have A Right To Do That, Brett.
You're Right. I Do.
Well, Of Course, Until Someone Else Earns Their Place, That Is.
News Flash For You, Gramps.
That's Never Gonna Happen.
You See, This Side Of The Mountain Is For Skiers Only.
You Know, The Sport With Two Boards, Poles, And No Tattoos.
And You Think That's Fair?
It Sounds Fair To Me, Hawaii.
I Mean, You Get To Hang With Your Brahs
In The Snowboarding Park, Out Of The Way,
Where, Hopefully, You Won't Bring Complete And Total Shame
To The Winter Sport Community.
And We Get To Stay Right Here Where We've Been... Forever.
You Know, Back On The Island, We Used To Have This Contest.
The Best Surfer From Each Group Would Catch A Wave,
And Whoever Got The Best Ride
Got To Keep The Beach For The Day.
So, How About It, Brett?
A Race From The Cornice To The Bottom.
Just You And Me.
Yeah, Right.
No Lie, Dude.
If You Win, The Boarders Stay Off Your Side Forever.
But If I Win, We Share The Mountain.
All Of It.
That's Stupid. If I Win, Things Stay Just Like They Are Right Now.
Why Should I Even Bother?
'Cause The Winner Gets This.
Grandpa, No!
What Is That?
It's A Tsunami Medallion.
Given To The Best Surfer In Hawaii.
Yeah, But It's Not A Part Of This. Just Forget It.
I'll Do It.
Winner Gets The Medal
And The Right To Whatever Side Of The Mountain They Want.
Fine. First Thing Tomorrow. Here.
Done.
Hey. What's Up, Sam?
Hey, John-John.
What's Going On?
I Came To Say Good-Bye.
Didn't You Hear About Tomorrow?
The Race?
Yeah, Well, Sarge Says We've Got To Leave Early In The Morning
'Cause Of His Orders.
I'm Gonna Have To Miss It.
You Can Beat That Guy, Johnny.
Just Remember, Go Big Or Go Home.
Right?
Right On, Brah.
No Way That Bonehead's Ever Gonna Wear My Medal.
Cool.
Later, Man.
Hey, Sam.
Yeah?
Mahalo.
You're Welcome, Brah.
Sam Not Staying?
He Just Came To Say Good-Bye.
Did You Have Fun With Your Grandfather?
Uh, Yeah.
Look. I Know I'm Supposed To Be Grounded, Dad, But--
Listen, Johnny, Why Don't We Just Forget About The Grounding?
Really?
Really.
Pop, I Know I Messed Up
With The Fighting And The Running Away.
I Don't Know What Happened Or Why I Did It,
But Things Will Be Different From Now On.
And I'm Really Sorry.
I'm The One Who Should Be Apologizing.
You?
Yeah. I Never Could Have Imagined
How Tough It Would Be On You,
Moving Here, Leaving Home.
It's Not That Bad.
Johnny, I Know You May Find This Hard To Believe,
But Your Dear Old Dad Isn't Perfect.
You Sure You Want To Admit This?
Believe Me, The Older You Get, The Harder It Is To Admit.
And, Uh, The Harder It Is To Apologize.
So, If There's Anything I Can Do To Make It Up To You...
Well, There Is This Race Tomorrow.
And It's Something That I Really Want To Do.
If It's Ok With You, That Is.
As Long As You Win.
That Medallion Needs To Stay In The Family.
Hey. You Know?
Now Go Wash Up For Dinner, Huh?
All Right.
I Need A Eight-Letter Word For Miracle.
Very Funny.
Sounds Like You Reached A Treaty.
We Did.
Was It Painful?
Only When I Think Of All The Time
I've Missed With My Amazing Son.
So, You Here For Brett?
Not Really.
Mostly, I Wanted To Apologize To You.
For What?
My Dad Finally Admitted You Tried To Take The Blame
For What Happened.
Now I Realize What You Were Trying To Tell Me The Other Day.
I Should Have Listened To You.
It's Ok. Really.
It's Just That After You Went To My Dad,
He Got Even Madder.
And He And Brett And Everyone Were Telling Me To Stay Away From You.
Emily, Look. It's Ok.
Believe Me, I Understand When Your Dad
Wants You To Do Something That You Really Don't Want To Do.
You're Really Sweet.
Well, Good Luck, And Be Careful.
Yeah. I Will.
Hey, Urchin!
What Happened?
I Thought You Were Gone Already.
Sarge Got His Orders Changed
When He Realized How Epic This All Was.
We Leave In The Morning.
Hey, Your Stick, Dude.
Prepped And Ready To Rock.
I Even Used A Special Wax From My Private Stock.
Totally Nectar.
You Haven't Seen Nectar Until You've Seen These.
Hello, Randy.
Hey, Ronnie.
Wait A Minute. You Guys-- Are You--
Are We Gonna Do This Or What, Urchin?
Hey, You Da Man!
After You.
Hey. There He Is.
Hey, Pono!
Pomaika'i, Brett.
What's That, Some Kind Of Hawaiian Swear Word?
It Means "Good Luck."
Oh. Well, Pomi... Whatever To You Too.
Look. The First One To The Bottom On The Mountain
Through All The Gates And The Terrain Park Wins.
You Ready?
Say The Word.
See You At The Bottom, Loser.
Dude, Lay Off!
Whooa!
Take Off, Man!
Get Out Of My Way, Hawaii!
This Is Mine, Urchin!
Not A Chance, Brett!
Yea!
Hey, Brett, You All Right?
I'm Fine. Back Off.
Yeah! You Made It, Man!
You Rode The Wave, Pono.
The Medallion Is Yours.
Emily, What Are You Doing? He's Still An Urchin.
He Won, Brett.
He Earned It.
She's Right. It's Over, Brett.
We're Gonna Have A Big Party At Our House This Afternoon
And Everyone's Invited.
Your Dad And I Were Talking Last Night,
And We Came To A Decision.
About What?
We Decided That, If You Want,
You Can Go Back To Hawaii With Your Grandfather
And Spend The Rest Of The School Year There.
Cool.
For Real?
For Real.
Well, It's Not So Bad Here.
And I Think I'd Miss You Guys Too Much.
I Told You He Was Smart, Eh, Pete?
And Besides, The Urchins May Need Me.
You Know, In Case Brett Wants A Rematch.
Hey, Johnny Dude, That Was Killer.
We Just Want To Thank You.
For What?
For Showing Us How Bogus This Whole Fight's Been.
Brothers Shouldn't Go So Many Years Without Speaking,
No Matter How Different They Are.
No Way! You Guys Are Brothers?
Oh, Dude, You're Looking At The Last Remaining Original Sky And Urchin.
When We Were Kids, Our Folks Split Up.
I Went To Skyline. Randy Went To Maple Valley.
Yeah, Ten Years Ago Our Pop Passed Away
And Left Us The Mountain.
We Split It Down The Middle.
You Know, Boarders On My Side.
And Skiers On Mine.
It's Been That Way Ever Since.
But We Think It's Time To Put Things Back Together.
That's Why Next Month Will Be The Grand Opening
Of Edison Brothers' Air Summit.
All Access For Everyone, All The Time.
That's Pretty Catchy, Bro. You Come Up With That?
I Knew You'd Win All Along.
Well...
Think The World's Ready For The Next Johnny Tsunami?
Well, I Think They Better Be, Grandpa.
