What'd You Do?

Skateboard Wreck.

Crashed Off

A Half Pipe.

He Tried

A 4 1/2,

Which Is

Of Course Nuts.

'Cause Nobody

Does A 4 1/2.

You're Just Jealous

'Cause I'm Gonna

Nail It

Before You Do.

In Your Dreams,

Plaster Arm.

I'm Outta Here. Laters.

Yo, Kai!

It's Bowling

Out There!

Go Charge It, Bra!

What,

Break Your Lens?

I'm Kona.

Sydney.

Hey, Come On.

Watch Mele.

Leg Drop.

Phat Snap.

Deep Bottom Turn.

She's Going Off!

That's Good, Right?

That's Hot.

See?

Totally Fearless.

But Don't Tell Her

I've Been

Bragging On Her.

We Wouldn't Want Her

Getting A Big Head.

[Shutter Clicking]

[Gasp]

Is She All Right?

Oh, Yeah.

You're A Surfer, Too?

I Mean, When You're

Not Wearing That.

Everyone Surfs

Around Here,

Unless They're

A Major Dork.

You're

A Longboarder,

Ey?

Sort Of.

I Ride Shortboard.

Uh, But I Like

Those, Too.

Exactly.

The Thing About

The Longboards,

Riding Them?

It's Like Cruising

On The Waves,

Slow And Fluid.

Keeps You Connected.

But A Shortboard,

It's Like Daring You

To Meet The Edge,

Slice Through

The Other Side.

You Make

Your Own Rules.

What?

You're A Poet.

I Didn't Expect It.

I Don't Know,

It's Nice.

It Must Be Hard,

I Mean,

Learning How To Ride

The Short Ones.

Must Take Forever, Huh?

You've Never Been

Out There Before,

Have You?

What?! Why Would You

Say That?

Because You Haven't,

Right?

Well, You Mean,

Technically?

Out There Surfing?

No.

Never Even Tried?

There's Not

A Lot Of Surf

In Lake Michigan.

I Mean, Besides,

I Know What My Parents

Would Say--

Too Risky, Too Dangerous,

Too Everything.

That Is So Crazy.

Keep Your Center

Of Balance.

Now Paddle.

Harder. Harder.

Ok, Now Stand Up.

Come On, Stand Up!

Yeah!

Yeah!

You've Got It,

You're Ready.

For What?

Well, What'd You Think?

Gia?

What?

You Scared?

No.

Yeah.

Hey, Being Scared,

That's Half The Fun.

Your Heart

Pounding So Hard,

All You Want To Do

Is Quit,

And Then

Doing It Anyway.

They're Gonna Think

I'm A Major Dork.

You Don't Surf

For Your Friends.

You Do It For Yourself.

For The Way

It Makes You Feel Inside.

It's Like Floating On Clouds.

Come On.

Don't Forget,

Keep Your Board

To The Side.

Hey, You'll Get It.

In How Many Lifetimes?

No Rush. The Ocean's

Not Going Anywhere.

I Am. I'm Only Here

For 2 Weeks.

What About Makai?

I Mean,

Isn't It Yours?

Aren't You Staying?

How Can We?

My Dad's

An English Professor,

And My Stepmom

Designs Fabrics

For This Big Company.

I Don't Think

They'd Want To Move.

What About You?

What

Do You Want?

Sydney? Your Things

On The Floor?

That's Why They

Make Hampers, Ok?

[Shower Stops]

[Curtain Opens]

Sydney?

We'd Like To, Uh,

Eat Dinner At 7:
00.

Can You Be Ready?

Yeah, Sure.

Good.

Did You Have Fun With

Your Friends Today?

Were They Helpful?

What?

About Having Their

Pictures Taken.

They Didn't Mind?

Oh, Yeah.

They Were Great.

Elizabeth...

Hmm?

Since We Got Here,

Dad's Been So Weird,

You Know?

More Than Usual.

Is He Like Mad

At Me Or Something?

Has He Said Anything?

No, No, Honey,

It's Not You.

He's Not Mad

At You.

It's, Um...

Sometimes Adults

Just Get Lost In

Their Own Problems

And They Don't

Realize--

What? Is Dad

Losing His Job?

Is He Sick?

No, No, No,

Nothing Like That.

It's Just Stuff.

Boring Adult Stuff.

He Treats Me Like

I'm A Piece Of Glass,

Like I'm Gonna Break.

Well, You're

His Little Girl.

He Worries.

That's What Dads Do.

They Worry.

But It's Not Like

I'm This Out Of Control

Crazy.

I'm Really Careful.

I Know That,

And He Knows That,

And That's Good.

Sometimes I Wish I Wasn't,

That I Wasn't So Careful.

I Could Just Try Things,

Like Everyone Else.

Not Think So Much.

Sweetheart,

We All Do Things

At Our Own Pace,

And There's Nothing

Wrong With That.

As Far As Thinking

Too Much,

Just Keep Using

That Head Of Yours.

You're Good At It.

All Right?

You Said That This Buyer

Made A Previous Offer?

Oh, Yeah, Not That

It Was Taken Seriously.

Old Mrs. Leilani.

She Was Such

A Dear Woman.

You Would Have

Adored Her,

But, You Know,

She Was Hardly

Interested In Selling.

Makai Was Her Home.

The Only One

She'd Ever Known.

She Loved It Here.

Which Meant

She Didn't Even

Take A Look

At Our Original

Proposal We Brought.

Oh, No, It Wouldn't

Have Mattered

If King Midas Himself

Had Offered

Every Ounce Of His Gold.

And That's

Pretty Much

The Kind Of Offer

These Horden Folks

Delivered.

Yeah. Here, Come Look,

You'll Absolutely Gush.

Let's Look.

Ta-Da!

The Detail's Amazing.

Look, Even

The Little Trees.

Isn't It Something?

Where's The House

And The Old Barn?

Oh, They'll

Keep The Name.

"Horden Resort At

Plantation Makai."

But You Could Hardly

Expect Them

To Keep The Original

Structures.

Why Not?

They're Historical.

Yes, 1912.

That's When

They Rebuilt It

After The Big Storm.

It Is A Charming

Old House.

It'd Be Almost

A Shame To See It Go.

Well,

There Is No Reason

Why We Can't Talk

To Horden

About Preserving

Some Of These

Buildings.

Uh, In Fact,

The Main House

Would Make A Darling

Little Restaurant.

That's

An Inspired Idea.

It's Brilliant.

What Happens

To The Beach?

Oh, Not One Thing.

It Remains

As Pure And

Pristine As Ever.

The Guests Would

Hardly Settle

For Anything Less.

So It Would Only Be

Open To Hotel Guests?

Everything's Negotiable.

Believe Me,

Every Little Detail

Can Be Worked Out.

Right, Bo?

Why Don't You Draw Up

The List Of Concerns

For Horden?

If That's What

The Millers Want.

It's Certainly

A Lot To

Think About.

Well, It Never Hurts

To Open A Dialogue,

Just See What

Your Options Are.

James; Well,

I Think Once Again

If We Take A Look At

Horden's Track Record...

Arlene:
Absolutely.

[Singing In Hawaiian]

Hey!

It's Only Water.

Where You Been?

I Was Busy.

You Didn't Chicken Out?

Thought About It.

Guess I'm Still

Thinking About It.

Don't Worry, Girl.

You Owning These Waves

Today.

I Can Feel It.

You Want Some?

It's Spam Musabi.

Total Energy Food.

No, Thanks.

Hurry Up,

We're All Ready

All You Need To Bring

Is Yourself

Kinda Go Slow,

Take It Steady

'Cause There's No Room

For Nobody Else

Sun Is High,

Sky Is Blue

It's So Right

We're Just Waitin'

For You...

Hey.

Hey.

Hey.

We're Just Waiting

For You

We Know What To Do...

That's It.

Come On.

You're Doing Great.

Yeah.

Ok. Here, Turn It.

Yeah. That's The Way.

Good.

Ok. Not This One.

Just Hang Loose.

Give It Up,

Mr. Blue Sky

[Nervous Whimper]

Speedin' Right On

Into The Bay...

We Have To Wait

For Just The Right Set.

These Lookin' Perfect.

Go! Kick It, Bra!

[Excited Yelp]

Go! Go For It!

Go, Girl! Whoo!

[Excited Scream]

Yeah, Girl!

Come On, Sydney! Whoo!

Yeah, Sydney!

It's So Right

We're Just Waitin'

For You

Whoo! Yeah!

We Know What To Do

We Know What To Do

So Rev It Up

I Said

We Know

Where We're Goin'

Rev It Up

Full Ahead

Closer

The Wind Is Blowin'

It's So Fine
