Straight flush.

I sure hope

this doesn't screw

things up between us.

[ raucous laughing ]

glory bound

- Hey, keoni ! Happy birthday.

- Thanks.

Ah, it's

a good life.

gettin' glory bound

a song could do it, do it

glory bound

ain't no foolin'

come on around

ain't no foolin'

ain't no foolin'

come on around

[ electric drill whirring ]

This isn't just

a skateboard ramp, all right ?

We-- we build temples

to adrenaline.

This is like chinese

architecture, you know ?

'cause they didn't build

to the size of the human body.

They built temples to the size

of the human spirit.

I add some pain

I became your satellite

got to get it all right

psyched, I know

a man called sylvester

have to wear

a bulletproof vest, y'all

no kinda way

no kinda way at all

music myth

children learn

ride on

ride on

into the foam

into the foam

ride on

into the foam

hey

[ continues, indistinct ]

ride on

You know where

waves come from ?

Imagine

you're a giant...

Standing in the middle

of the bay of alaska.

You drop a boulder

in the water.

And the rings fan out.

The swells keep going until

something gets in their way:

An island, a continent,

A reef, something

that forces them to peak...

And break...

And roll.

That make

sense to you ?

Probably not.

If you understood what

I was saying, I probably

wouldn't be saying it.

Say a big swell hits Hawaii,

And you ride one of those

huge waves there.

The wave folds back

together on the other

side of the island,

And back out

across the ocean--

Like these rings--

to wherever it needs to go.

Then all you would

need to do to ride

it again...

Is find out where

it's headed next--

To beat it there...

However you can.

It's what

I've been doing.

I'm trying

to figure it out.

Why is it, when the waves

are just right,

When it's big enough

and hollow enough,

And I'm inside of it,

Everything--

whatever I'm doing,

Why I'm doin' it--

In that moment

it all makes sense ?

Most everybody wants

something else from it.

I'm afraid

if I ask for more,

it'll all disappear.

Hey, I'd be careful

if I were you.

I know you're

the captain's daughter and all.

We just got into a bunch

of trouble because of a woman.

- Scared me to death.

- You're very young.

Yeah. I am young.

Where's your home ?

I live with my friends.

Wherever the surf's good.

You know mickey ?

He used to be number two

in the world.

Pro tour and everything.

Could have been

number one, but--

I don't know. See him ?

He's the best in the world.

That's what mickey says.

That's what everybody says.

Won't compete

on the tour, though.

Don't know why.

Guess he doesn't

like hotel rooms

or something like that.

But... He's a hot surfer.

I guess that's all

that matters.

When I'm old enough,

I'm going on that tour...

And cashing in,

making a million bucks...

And buyin' my mom a house

and fixin' her teeth.

'cause everybody's got

to have beautiful teeth.

Even moms.

Do you know

that salt water...

Is the most closely

related to human blood ?

And you know what

that reminds me of ?

Our own essence, gentlemen.

[ vocalists,

african dialect ]

Lookin' sharp.

Lookin' sharp.

[ continues ]

[ fades, ends ]

She wants

to go with ya.

When my wife

was alive,

We found her

on the streets of rio

as a child.

I brought her on board

to save her life.

She recognizes herself

in ya. Same eyes.

Same heart.

Without lies.

Takin' only

what you need.

Givin' only

what you can.

She feels safe with ya,

Although she knows

she'll never stay

with ya forever.

[ loud cheering ]

[ shouting, jeering ]

Kick his ass !

Go to him,

go to him.

[ keoni ]

no, no. Go on, mickey.

Take this hippie.

Whaddya mean ?

I got him right

where I want him !

I got this f***in' guy

right where I want him.

- Kick his ass !

- [ grunts ]

[ camera clicking ]

[ keoni ]

four and 0, four and 0.

Come on !

How much we bet ?

- All of it.

You lose, we don't eat.

I'm gonna

kick your butt.

A little hot sauce'll

fix this guy.

The old caliente.

Come on, mickey.

Now !

You enjoying

your visit to bali ?

Jet lag's

got me down a bit,

but I'll get used to it.

[ grunting ]

[ blues ]

[ camera clicking ]

baby, please

baby, please set a day

baby, please

baby, please set a day

please don't say tomorrow

Soon as my friends and I

get it together...

And all these people

move out of the way,

we're gonna move the car.

[ camera clicks,

typewriter clatters ]

Yeah, if I understood a word

you said, it would be helpful,

but obviously I don't.

Wyatt, my man !

Hey, nice to see you,

man. How you been ?

[ speaking

native language ]

no problem.

[ speaking native language ]

these guys are

friends of mine.

Mab.

- Hey, domo, man.

How's it, man ?

- Hey !

Good to see ya.

What's happening, rush ?

[ camera clicks,

typewriter clatters ]

Rush ! Brian !

Unreal, man.

Good to see ya.

Long time.

Wow.

[ typewriter clattering ]

baby, please

[ brian ]

gotta get back in shape.

It's been a long summer.

baby, please set a day

- I believe these belong to you.

- Keep them. You never know

when you might need them.

Who are you ?

- Just a fan.

[ laughs ]

What's up, darrick ?

I was hoping I'd get here

in time to train with you guys.

[ wyatt ]

there are only a handful

of surfers in the world...

With the courage and skill

to ride really big waves.

And here, in a marketplace

in bali,

On the other side

of the world,

He was about to become

one of them.

[ man's voice ]

some mornings, when I wake up,

Before my first cup of coffee,

i look in the mirror.

I think to myself,

is today the last day

I'm gonna be alive ?

'cause you never know

when you're gonna go.

When you come out of that wave,

if something goes wrong,

The jet ski is

your only salvation.

Jet skis, tow ropes.

You guys got equipment

on the brain.

I'm comin' to Hawaii

this winter,

and I'm gonna paddle...

Into one of those

40-foot sons of b*tches

with my bare hands.

What are you talking about,

mickey ? There's no way you can

paddle in. It's just too big.

- It's just a wave, man.

- It's too fast.

- That is horseshit ! It's just a wave.

- You can't paddle 35 m.P.H.

It's just a wave, man.

A big mother of a wave, yes.

But it's just a wave !

You gotta be in the right place

at the right time !

Dream on.

Then why don't you tow me in ?

You, no problem.

For him ?

No way.

- And just why the hell not ?

- [ keoni ]

because, Mickey, you're crazy.

- Everybody knows that.

- Well, thank you, keoni.

I love you too.

But I will tell

you three guys one thing.

For us,

the partying's over.

Starting tomorrow,

we train all day, every day.

That's reality.

all around the world

Two... Three !

no one understands me

no one knows

what I'm tryin' to say

everywhere I go

no one understands me

they look at me

when I talk to them
