Johnny Kapahala: Back on Board Page #7

- Really?

- Yeah.

Oh, sweetheart. I love you.

- So what do you think about these?

- I like that one.

- I want you to see this.

- Oh, cool.

- Hey.

- Hey.

OK, put it there.

No, no, no, don't do that.

How 'bout over here?

Around this corner.

Hang on, I think there's... over here.

It's perfect.

Can you just put it here? Great.

Let me think...

Sam! Sam!

- She's just like my mom.

- Sam!

- What, bro? She scares me.

- Listen, listen, listen.

- Hey! Look...

- When my buyer backed out,

- you said you'd step in.

- You come all this way to tell me...

What's going on?

- My life is riding on this deal.

- Gee.

It was great

not doing business with you.

- Look. Listen, all right, man.

- Uh-oh.

Can't do this.

We had a verbal contract.

Negotiating.

Our negotiations broke down.

- No, they didn't, man.

- Whoa, whoa, whoa.

- What's up?

- Troy here was hoping I'd buy his shop

as a site for my new condo development.

- Condos?

- It appears as if your mentor

- is moving to California.

- Wait.

What about the Dirt Devils? Troy,

you said that I could be on your crew.

- This isn't about you, C.

- No, actually, it is.

It's about all these kids,

including my daughter.

Wait, she's... No. I had no idea.

Oh, you're surprised?

Now you know how we feel.

Val, all right, this is business.

You don't understand.

I do understand. I understand

that you don't even care about us.

You were gonna move

and leave us in the dust.

So I told my dad that we don't need

any more condos on the island.

We don't need Troy's shop.

There's a new board store in town.

One that cares about the sport,

not just the money.

Oh, this is...

This is really funny. Man, this is good.

I mean, you've got, like, what? You've

got five mountain boards over there?

No real rider

is gonna give you a second look.

- Johnny T!

- Hey, Akoni! How is it?

- Where you want these?

- That's Akoni Kama! Akoni!

How you guys doing?

Hey, man. Check it out.

- Akoni Kama!

- This is so cool.

You do what you have to, Johnny T.

You have your little moment in the sun.

Once Akoni Kama goes back to the

Mainland and his signed boards are gone,

those kids are going

to be back riding for me,

'cause I'm the real deal.

I'm going to crush you, old man.

I'm gonna make sure that you lose

your whole place and everything in it.

- It's never gonna stop, is it?

- Doesn't seem like it, Pono.

Hey, Troy.

I thought you were

the godfather of dirt-boarding.

I just realized

I've never seen you ride.

Uh, you got a point, surfer boy?

It's sort of a tradition in our family.

We settle things with our skills,

not our mouths.

- What did you have in mind?

- Mountain-board race.

You win, we take the four-wheel boards

out, drop 'em here at your doorstep.

You get all the dirt gear you want.

I win, both stores sell what they want.

These guys get a choice.

You can't be serious.

- Dad, are you sure about this?

- Yeah. I'm sure.

- I got faith in my grandson.

- Well, that's fine with me.

You bring it.

And what do you know. I've got just the

spot to hold this little race, don't we?

You remember how I told you

my dad likes to own things?

Yeah! All right!

- Daddy, this is fantastic!

- Well, it was John's idea, actually.

He wanted someplace safe

for kids to dirt-board.

I made contacts, but his vision

got the bank to fund the development.

I thought I was your partner.

- Ah, it was a secret.

- He did this for you.

You're one lucky young man.

When Johnny was little,

he had the whole ocean to do his thing.

I thought you needed a place

to do what you love.

- Here's where you say, "Thank you. "

- Oh, got it. Thanks.

- Thank you.

- You're welcome.

- You really are a great dad, Dad.

- Thanks.

Come on! Let's scope out the track.

Race you!

Whoo!

It's another mountain, eh, Pono?

How do we keep on

getting ourselves into this?

The Kapahala way, that's what.

- You're not nervous, are you?

- No. Why would I be nervous?

No pressure at all, right?

Remember when you was a kid,

you asked me who the best surfer

in the world was?

And you told me the one

who's having the most fun.

That's the one!

Mahalo, Grandpa.

- Yo, J, you ready?

- You know it.

Hey, bro, listen. Stay frosty, all

right, man? Stay frosty. You got this.

- It's dirt-boarding.

- Oh, yeah.

I'm just playing, man.

Hey, stay dusty, man.

Stay dusty, all right. Troy who?

Hey, OK, guys. OK.

I, uh, scoped out the whole course.

Remember up at the top

there's a wall ride.

Uh, the tree barrel

and the right hand berm.

- Right.

- When you come out of that,

keep your speed

'cause of the crazy water feature.

- Then...

- Scrub speed for rollers...

And then you hit

the three big tabletops jumps.

- Right.

- All right. Cool.

Oh, and, uh, Johnny? Be careful.

Hey. Thanks, man.

Listen, you're the one that should

be racing Troy. You're better than me.

Dude, it's just a snowboard...

...on wheels.

All right. Good luck.

Hey, since it's a race,

I don't have to know how to stop anyway.

Hey, where you going?

I'm gonna make sure that

the ambulance has the motor running.

Oh, yeah. Thanks, but you

think you could drop the gate for me?

Yeah, come on. Of course.

Oh, you're in way over your head.

Maybe.

But, hey, at least I know how to swim.

All right, check it out.

Here are the rules.

Get to the finish, three jumps,

three tricks to win. All right?

Now the winner has to nail

three tricks before the finish.

Cool? All right.

Riders ready...

...set...

Man!

Come on, J!

Come on! Come on, Johnny!

- Yeah!

- Whoo!

- Johnny!

- Pono!

You all right, Pono? Say something.

That was sweet.

Nice.

The Kapahala way.

Whoo!

Yeah!

Congratulations!

- That was nice.

- Man!

- Sweet, man.

- That was so great. My gosh!

- You know, this isn't over.

- Yes, it is.

Shouldn't you be watching Jared

or something?

I can see Jared.

He's right there.

See, Jared's been released

to the custody of his parents.

- It's you we wanna talk to.

- You got nothing on me.

The night of the break-in,

you heard about Chris's jump.

The only way you could've

is if you talked to Jared.

He gave us a full confession. Told us

all about your little powwow that night.

So I figure, aiding and abetting,

coercion of juvenile

to commit a felony.

- Hey, Oki...

- Don't talk, Troy.

Your attorney probably wouldn't like it.

Hey, Chris.

- Hey.

- Hey.

- Cool park.

- Yeah. Good race.

- Thanks, man.

- So, you wanna try it out?

- Sure. Yeah.

- Let's go.

I just want to go home, put my feet up

and look out at the ocean for a while.

Oh, I'm right behind you.

Well, we might have to put

the hammock time on a little hold.

- Oh, now what?

- You know, I was just thinking.

It would be such a shame to let

that beautiful dress to go to waste.

Ta-da!

Oh! Oh, my gosh!

- Close one, eh?

- Congratulations, Dad.

- I'm really happy for you.

- Thanks.

I now pronounce you man and wife.

John Kapahala, you may kiss your bride.
