Zuna Surf Newsflash - 2006 Surf Movie Night - Sept

SURF MOVIE NIGHT \| SEPTEMBER FEATURE
North Shore, (1987) \| Rating: PG \| view trailer

The movie's tagline is "The Peak, The Dream, The Ultimate Test"...Rick Kane (Matt Adler), the 18-year-old wave tank surfing champion from Arizona, tries to fulfill his ultimate dream of riding the perilous waves of Hawaii's legendary North Shore.

It's a classic story of invasion by the mainland "Towheads" vs. the "da Hui" locals. Kane has neither the skills nor the attitude to survive the North Shore. He fortuitously meets mystical surfer Chandler (Gregory Harrison), who teaches him the difference between 'soul surfers' and those who surf for fame and money. He also finds the beautiful Kiani (Nia Peeples), who shows him how to survive, and a challenge unlike any other. Turtle, the surfer played by John Philbin (who also starred in Point Break and taught Blue Crush's Kate Bosworth to surf), has all the best comedic lines.

Starring: Matt Adler, Gregory Harrison, Nia Peeples, John Philbin, and Gerry Lopez. With appearances by surfers Shaun Tompson, Derek Ho, Laird Hamilton, Mark Occhilupo, Ken Bradshaw, Mark Foo, and Christian Fletcher. Director: William Phelps. Entertaining Reviews: 1 | 2 | Goofs

Memorable Quotes:

Turtle: Stay loose, haole.
Rick:   What's a haole?
Turtle: A tourist, a mainlander, like you.
Rick:   I'm not a tourist.
Turtle: Whatever, Barney.
Rick:   What's a Barney?
Turtle: It's like Barno... Barnyard... a haole to the max, a kook in and out of the water. Yeah?

Turtle: (to Rick) "I can tell you're a pretty lame surfer by the way you wear your shorts"
