All language subtitles for johnny_tsunami

Hey, Johnny, check out your grandpa.

Yeah, he's the best.

That's okay, Jakey. We really didn't
want any.

Sorry, bro.

Oh, hey, there it is.

There.

Oh, see? I told you it was real, dude.

Hey, Johnny, tell him the story.

Oh, well, it happened a long time ago.

My dad was still a baby. And there was
this small plane that crashed over there

past the reef.

Grandpa paddled out there, found those
people barely alive.

Yeah, but I thought that was just a
story. Someone made it from the tourist

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, Bono, you never get tired of
looking at a messed up old book.

Hey,

can I show Jake the medallion? Yeah, all
right.

Can we see it? Yeah, you know it is.
Yeah.

A 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 serve,
brotherhood. The Hawaiian way, huh?

And maybe someday, if you're lucky, one
of you might win it.

Cool.

Cappahallan Snacks yet another wave here
in the finals.

Notable mention, he is the only amp to
blow to the semis and make it to the

finals. Not surprising when you consider
the fact he is the grandson of the

legendary Johnny Tsunami.

Well, you couldn't ask for better
conditions today here at Pipe. Slight

chop on the water, but the offshores
prevail.

Hey, Johnny.

Hey, you look good.

Johnny Tsunami.

How's it, bro?

Hey, Mike.

Came by to make sure the tadpole carries
on the family's good name, huh?

How are they doing?

Oh, looks kind of close.

Think your boy's going to need a 10
-point ride here.

Hey, Mike, how much time?

Uh, 20 seconds. 20 seconds?

He's never going to make it.

Dude, don't send him the negative vibe.

Okay, Jake, you get plenty of time.

There's a set, but he's only got 10
seconds left.

He's got to get up before that horn
blows or he's out. He has priority over

Tamayo. That's too big.

No way.

Perfect.

Just made the wave.

It's almost closed out.

Where is he?

Right there.

It's okay, Jackie. I thought it was,
too. See? He thought he was, too.

Hey!

Grandpa,

touch Jane.

Oh, no.

When was the last time I missed a major
serving contest? Especially one with my

grandson in it, eh?

Who was Bob?

Uh, he had to work, but I know he wanted
to be here, honey.

Oh.

Eh, no matter.

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 I 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.

Hey, um, so 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.

You want to see how it works?

Sure.

Since we're only, uh, connected here on
the island, let's go with something

local.

$34 ,000.

Wow.

You'd think these guys would be earning
a lot more than that.

Real subtle, Pop.

You know what? 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 decided to have a
family, you'd have a job that would

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 going to 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 going to win that argument
with him, you know.

There's got to be something that can
counteract the influence my lunatic

has on him. Hey, I love that lunatic and
so does Johnny, so watch it.

Johnny spends way too much time with him
now.

Pete, your dad is a good man.

He would never do anything to hurt
Johnny. He would never mean to.

I take it you haven't told him yet.

No. It's never easy to deliver news you
know is going to break someone's heart,

but we have to tell him.

Soon.

There's a killer swell.

We need to talk to you first.

Can we do it later? Jake and Eddie are
already out there. Johnny, this can't

wait.

Is everything okay?

Yeah, we just, um... Well, we have some
news.

We just got our first really major net
study contract.

That's rad, Paul.

Yeah, it'll be the pilot program in a
series of prep schools, starting with

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 going?

It's not just a matter of a quick trip.

It's more like a move.

A move back east.

Moving back east?

Like where? Kauai?

Back east like the east coast of the
United States.

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, car.

I know how you must be feeling right
now, but I really think you're going to

love it there. You'll get a great
education. Can I just go surfing now?

You sure you're okay about this?

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah, man. Like, why didn't you just say
something?

Well, 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

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 the TV
they said a storm was going to come

ashore? Yeah.

I thought it was going to 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 got to come back for this.

Got to make sure it stays in the family,
huh?

Johnny! Come on!

We're going to miss the play!

And I don't think they give them for
surfing the internet.

I'm going to miss you, Pony.

I'll see you to your grandpa.

Remember, you always get 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 okay.

How bad can it be?

Oh, man.

Wow.

Vermont sure has its own beauty.

Is it always going to be this cold?

You'd be amazed at how much warmer it is
after you put on the right clothes.

What do you think?

Well, it's different.

That's for sure.

That's right, New England.

Sirs up.

Hey, Pop, can I call Grandpa?

I want to let him know that we're here.
I'm sure he knows, Johnny.

But I told him that... Tell him what?

Why don't we try looking forward to
what's in front of us instead of what's

in Hawaii?

Besides, your grandfather's not going
anywhere.

Except maybe the beach for a couple
hours.

Okay. And speaking of what's ahead,
here's your class schedule.

There's also some information about the
academy in here.

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

Yeah.

That's great, Pop.

Come on.

You've got your class schedule?

Yeah.

Want me to take you in before I head to
the computer room?

No, I can do it.

You sure?

Pop, I'll be fine.

I'm not going to make a break for it or
anything.

All right.

Remember, I'm staying late, so you have
to catch the bus.

No problem, Pop.

Arthur? You must be Johnny.

Yes. Welcome to American history.

Why don't you have a seat over by Brett?

What planet did he beam down from?

Hawaii, Ron.

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 Hawaiian Islands? Cultural,
historical, anything you can muster?

They'll 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 principal
islands of the Hawaiian chain?

Emily, how about you?

Hawaii, Kauai, Lunai, Maui, Molokai,
Oahu, and I think it's

Kuala Lumpur. Very good, Emily.

Very good.

Johnny, why don't you tell me something
about Hawaii?

Hey, you ever seen a volcano blow up?

What? I was just asking.

Well, there are two volcanoes on the big
island that are still active, but I've

never seen one actually erupt.

Well, 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 every day.

I mean, unless it's blown out or flat,
or if I'm sick.

But, I mean, I have to be really, really
sick, like I'm dying.

Or there's also windsurfing, fishing.

There's great hiking on 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've got.

Who's next?

Pineapple or peaches?

Not in my nose.

Sorry,

Hawaii. This is my seat.

No problem.

I'll just find another one.

Bye -bye.

No way this is pineapple.

Guy's a loser, huh?

Yeah, what a loser.

Uh,

you can take a look at it if you want.

That's eating ribs, brah.

Ribs, brah?

You're an American now, why? Try
speaking English.

Oh, sorry, dude. I just meant that it
was slamming. You know, totally nectar.

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, okay?

Hey, Brett, look.

And? It says here, Johnny, Kappa,
whatever.

The most promising young rider in the
North Shore goes Richter at back door.

Hey, Brett, how do you go Richter? Does
it look like I care?

What's going on?

Oh. Not much. We're just welcoming a new
kid.

So, we skiing?

Yeah, let's go.

All right.

Hey, Hawaii, wait up a sec.

You ever ski before?

Uh, well, um, yeah, a couple 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?

Whoa.

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, John.

I really am. I'm sorry.

Forget it.

Just go.

You think I've ever been near a mountain
that doesn't have lava coming out of

it?

Come on.

So where'd you say you skied before?

Um, well... Snowmass.

Yeah. That's a great place.

Oh, man. Well, I hope you don't get
bored. I mean...

The runs can be pretty tame for somebody
who skied out west.

I don't think I'll get bored.

Whoa.

What's wrong?

My binding's loose.

I'm going to see if this guy has a
screwdriver.

All right. We'll wait here for you.

Hey Brett, you think you could give me a
hand?

Sure.

Sorry about that. Bye.

you hit the highway?

Well, 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 going to
get somebody hurt.

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,
Brent.

I wanted to stop it. What?

Hey. Hey.

So, how was school? Did you make any new
friends?

Yeah. Uh, they took my skin.

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.

Your grandfather not home?

No.

You know him.

He's probably camping out on the other
side of the island, chasing some huge

swell.

I think I'd 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 definitely blend in a little
better.

Hey.

Never thought I'd see you in here.

What'd you do?

Sue?

Oh, nothing.

He's my father.

Principal's your dad?

We like to call him a headmaster.

Wow. I thought it was intense, my dad
working on the computers.

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
violation.

Well, better get going.

I'm going to get worse.

It's Johnny, isn't it?

Yes, sir.

What is it I can do for you, Johnny?

Well,

Miss Arthur said that I wasn't dressed
right.

Ah, well, Miss Arthur may have a point.
Not that that isn't a fine shirt, mind

you. No, 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. And 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 had
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 professional, man. It was
professional. It was sweet.

It was nice.

And you know, you get props on that one.

Is it cool if I sit here?

Oh, sure.

Hey, you're the Hawaiian kid who bonds
out the peak yesterday, right?

More like Kamikaze did.

You were there?

Nah, but everyone was talking about it
on the hill today.

Oh.

Oh, so you go to Skyline?

Maple Valley.

It's the public school.

My name's Sam.

Johnny Capahala.

So, uh, you any good on that thing?

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 school is bored.

It's been that way since snowboards were
invented.

Well, this is me.

Good luck, Skye. Keep your tips up.

Skye? Whoa!

Not bad.

You're actually starting to look like a
sky.

Hey, uh, some kid called me that
yesterday.

What's it mean?

Shh.

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, 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 got to pull
that 360 today, you know, just to show

you who's the best.

Hey,

can I talk to you for a second?

Oh, yeah, no problem.

Dude, did you miss your stop or
something?

Oh, no, it's cool, Brian. Just give me a
minute. Yeah, go ahead.

I'll catch up.

Sam.

He's a sky.

Still there.

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
going to lose it big time.

Since there's no big way beach in
Vermont, I figure I got to do the next

thing. That's where you come in. Wait a
minute. Look, 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.

Yeah. Follow me. There's someone you got
to meet before we head up the hill. All

right.

See, you thought I was going to kick
your butt, didn't you?

Yeah, right.

In a drive.

Hey,

you better button that coat up.

We're on the other side of the mountain
now.

Yeah, I found you a new customer.

Randy, this is Johnny Capo... Capo.
Yeah, what do you think?

He just came in from Hawaii.

Oh, aloha, bro.

Aloha.

Hey, uh, don't I know you from
somewhere?

Have you ever been to the islands? Oh, I
wish.

Wasn't there this outrageous surfer over
there named Johnny Capo? Dude was an

animal, man. They used to call him, uh,
uh, Johnny Tsunami. They still do.

He's my grandfather.

No way.

No possible way!

Yes, Ray. Oh, man, this is truly
phenomenal, dude. I'm going to fully

up, man. Whatever you need. No charges.
You know, take a look around, man.

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 hair.
Maybe.

So this is just like surfing, full of
snow, right?

If you say so. Go for it.

Oh!

Now,

I've never surfed, but all the magazines
say there are two big differences.

You know, you... You could have told me
that before I ate all that snow.

Yeah, but it's better to learn
firsthand, dude.

So you're going to tell me?

Yeah. First is steering.

In the water, you steer with the front
of your board, right?

Basically. Yeah, but on the snow, it's 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's out of
the question.

Yeah, that's the other big difference.

Now try again, but go slow.

At least this wave doesn't thrash you
after you fall.

All right, try again.

When do we get to do that?

You got to learn to stand up first.

Yeah, that'd probably help.

You

know,

Dr. Santa, here, come across.

Oh, okay.

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 the skyline.

Wow, I guess no matter how much you
dress up in urchin, the true loser

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
these things is anyway.

I mean, where's the challenge?

Whoa!

Yeah, man.

Nothing to it. Hey,

Johnny. You want a ride?

Gotta go.

Keep your tips up.

See? I told you to make new friends.

Hey, it'll happen.

You're the first one from the academy
who's ever crossed the line.

You're sort of in no man's land.

You know, 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, see, the whole mountain used to
belong to this one dude. When he died

years ago, his family divided it down
the middle. The border's on this side,

ski is 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?

Whoa!

You're still letting the hill work you.

You 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 words glacier

or ice in its name.

I think my core temperature is like five
degrees lower than most humans.

So just remember, you know, put your
weight on your front leg and whip it

with the back. You know, just be
aggressive.

All right.

There you go.

That's it.

That's it.

When are you going to bail on this dude?

Hey, come on, man. At least you didn't
face plant this time.

Whoa! Ooh.

You sure it's cool with your dad that I
came over?

Oh, absolutely.

Whoa. Do those plants fly over all the
time like that?

I guess so.

I've been living on bases my whole life.
I don't even know this anymore.

Where are they all going?

Oh, everywhere.

South Carolina, Texas, Montana.

Hawaii?

I don't know. Probably.

Oh, is this your mom?

Yeah.

She passed away a couple of years ago.

Oh, 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, though.

Hey, Sarge, what are you doing home?

Finished up early today.

Figured we'd head in 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.

Aloha, Johnny. Pleasure to meet you.

And 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, you give me a minute to
change into my civvies, I'll give you a

ride. That'd be great.

Dude, your dad's so cool.

Totally.

Um, 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 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 doesn't surf.

How come?

Well, he's about as much like me as this
place is like Oahu.

Next time it's raging like that, I'm
going to be

there, no matter what.

Well, if you end up snowboarding like
that, you'll be getting bigger hair than

anyone around here.

Except me, of course.

Hey, Sam.

Thanks for doing all this.

What? 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

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 in the sky... The harder it

is to board.

From what I can tell, you were born in
the sky, so you might as well stick to

skiing.

Besides, you wouldn't want Brett to get
mad, would you?

Surf's so broad.

Can you believe you went urchin?

How pathetic is that?

You're getting better, except for that
little Superman dive you pulled on the

hill. Yeah, right. But you caught your
toe on that one.

You sure no one followed you? Very
funny.

Now I do, I do.

Sam, this is Emily.

Sky number two to balance skiing.

I'm not bailing on anything.

Then why are you here?

I have to have a reason.

No, I just thought that... Are we going
or not?

Okay, I'm ready for a wheel run now.

No, Emily, you're doing pretty good for
your first time, but I don't think...

Can't keep up. I'll wait for you at the
bottom. Wait, Emily, don't...

Can you see her?

Yeah. Yeah, I see her.

Emily! Are you okay?

Yeah, I'm fine, but I'm stuck!

Okay, just hang on!

Just hang on!

You've got to get her some help.

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.

Whoa.

How you doing, Emily?

I couldn't get my footing with the
snowboard.

Okay. Well, just hold on. I'm going to
try to reach down and get you out, okay?

Just hold on, because it's going to be
all right.

Hurry up, Sam. I can't hold on much
longer.

Yeah, dude.

Is that the sky?

Can we stop that landing?

My friends need help! Where are they?

Up at the cornice!

Daddy, I'm fine.

Yes.

No, I promise, I'm not hurt.

All right.

No, I don't need to see a doctor.

Thank you, you know, for everything. No
problem. Just make sure you tell your

friend to watch the signs next time.
Daddy, that's not fair.

Let's go.

Yeah.

Look, Kawhi, 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. You know,
the only reason she's been nice to you

because her father made her. That's a
bunch of... It's true. But now that you

got her grounded, it's not going to be a
problem.

You're an urchin now, Hawaii. You made
your choice. So why don't you stick with

your little maggot pal and leave Emily
alone?

Just forget about it. Sammy!

Down here!

You know, you two are lucky that there
was a patroller with a snowmobile.

I'm sorry, Dad. I was just trying to
help Emily. I thought I could get to

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 Master 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.

The kid needs to understand that my
father is not a role model. He's not a

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 going to
end up like? Today he 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 hope 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

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?

Oh, stay big as ever.

I got a big swell coming in this week.

Oh, man.

You can come visit anytime you want.

I've got a hammock here with your name
on it.

Say the word.

It's yours.

Uh, 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 that... I think you
pretty much learned your lesson, huh?

I did.

Mom, why does Daddy 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.

It's weird thinking of dad any different
than he already is.

I mean, caring about stuff besides work.

Johnny, there are a lot of things that
your dad cares about more than just 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.

You need some help?

I'm okay.

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 to... Did you

talk to my father?

Yeah. Why'd you have to go and do that?

You're just going to 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
okay, didn't it? Please, we can't see

each other for a while. Can't you
understand that?

But... I have to go now.

This is insane, bro.

You know that, dude?

Hey.

Let me guess. No scars allowed?

Huh. What you did yesterday.

Getting massive air off that jump to
help salmon that sky girl?

Mad props, dude.

You're a real charger.

Oh, thanks, bro. I didn't even know you
saw that.

Sis. Hey, now you're cool enough.

Going on a sky raid.

What's that?

Well, that's the new powder on the back
summit.

The fattest runs on the hill, man.

You wanna come?

Can we get busted for that?

Hey, only if they catch us.

Urchin's motto, man. Go big, 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 said 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 them,
turn in your jackets and learn how to

snowboard. Not me.

I'm never getting on one of those things
again.

Look, Wyatt, 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 them too.

I'm serious.

Take a break.

Are you going to leave or what?

You're toast.

Let's go, Emily.

Remember what your father said.

Hey, are you all right?

Yeah.

You guys all right?

Oh, yeah, yeah.

It must be the altitude.

You might want to head back to Air
Summit.

Yeah, yeah, that's...

If my dad finds out about this, I'm
gonna be toast.

Well, maybe he won't find out.

But 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 Snowboard started.

That's completely bogus.

Did you talk to Emily?

What'd 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 you can't start
a fight with another student, no matter

what the circumstance.

Yes, sir.

According to the Skyline bylaws, 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 that you want me to
choose between the Skies and the

Skyline has a reputation 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

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 is 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.

Um, look, I can't really hang out right
now.

Me either, but I gotta 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 five 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 going to 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.

Man, 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, bro.

I mean, I like it here.

Hanging with you, boarding.

I don't want to move again.

We got to 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, uh, urchins.

Pete! And I don't want you snowboarding.

Oh, I can't...

I can't believe my own father's a Skye.

Johnny. You know, I thought moving here
was the worst day of my life.

I tried to fit in. I tried to get along.

And finally I start to, and my best
friend moves away. And now you're

that I can't even hang out with the only
other ones I have?

This reached so bad, I can't even take
it.

Someday you'll understand why I'm doing
this. No, Pop. I never will.

There's nothing right about this, and
you know it.

And I wish Grandpa was here.

He still 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

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.

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 is going to 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.

Hopping a military transport and flying
halfway around the world?

Shows some serious ingenuity, eh? No,
Dad.

What it shows is some serious stupidity.

And I can only imagine that you welcome
them with open arms.

Ho, ho, ho.

Look, I hate to stop this fight before
we get to the later rounds, but you know

what? It's not about you and me. You
better let me talk to them.

Fine. Sleep a little less.

Fine.

Then you will get them on a flight back
tomorrow.

I guess I could, but I'm not going to.
What do you...

What do you mean you're not going to?

That's what I said.

I'm not going to force them to go back.

This isn't a game.

You are going to send those two back. Do
you understand me?

Look, I'll make sure they get back to
you.

But only when they're ready.

Eliza, do it again.

You don't want that. Listen to me.

I'll be okay.

Get a workout, son.

You just worry about what to do when
they get back to Vermont.

Look.

What's the matter?

Yeah, they're 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 was 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 going to provide for this
family the way I have. Well, I would

gladly give some of it back to spend one
day with the Pete Tapahala 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

used to have.

Can you believe within this two -mile
stretch of beach, there are 15 of the

waves in the world?

Hey.

Hey. Hey, good morning.

Hey, uh, Grandpa?

You're not going to send us back, are
you?

Yeah, Mr. Tsunami. I really like it
here.

Well, if you two really want to stay,
I'm not going to stop you.

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 okay?

I can stay and teach you. Go for it.
Your grandpa's gonna have me riding

you get back.

Ready, Sam?

Oh, yeah, man. Good.

Johnny K!

Hey, we heard you were back, but we
didn't believe it. Hey, guys.

Yeah, Dina's like that movie The Rock.
They're having that brutal prison, and

they barely escaped their losses.

J .D., it wasn't that bad.

You guys hear the report?

Yeah, it's raging at Pipeline.

Dude, let's go for a good dude.

Uh, look, you guys go ahead.

I gotta take care of something.

Yeah, right.

Funny, man.

I'm serious.

I'm staying.

I wish my dad could have been here to
see me.

Your dad would have been plenty proud,
Sam.

I can't believe I ever left Hawaii.

Well, sometimes I wish I could have gone
in your place, Bruno.

No way.

Why would you ever want to do that?

Think about it.

You 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.

Ride waves there?

Grandpa, I'm pretty sure there aren't
any waves there.

And, well, at least I didn't see any.

You sure now?

Yeah, I've lived there for a while.

You know, I'm pretty sure that Johnny's
right on this one.

There's no waves. No.

Well, 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 got to deal with everything that's
happening.

You know, kind of like a raging swamp.

Yeah, something like that.

Mr. C, is it all right if I go call my
dad?

Sure, help yourself, Sam.

The righteous thing you did, Pono,
staying helping your friend.

Well, that's what you would have done.

You know, Poppy says I get more and more
like you every day.

That's what you want?

Oh, sure.

That's okay, isn't it?

Yeah, yeah.

But I'm not perfect, Pono.

But I guess you heard that so many
before, huh?

Come on.

Look, don't get me wrong, Pono.

I'm proud that you want to bring Big
Wave 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.

Hey,

Sam's still asleep.

I guess that lesson yesterday must have
taken a lot out of him, eh? Yeah.

Grandpa?

When I was first learning how to surf,
was I any good?

What? You don't remember?

Not really. That's kind of little.

Yeah.

Well, Bono, it was not really safe.

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, it's just so hard.

Well, for some people, there'd be reason
not to stay here.

Probably a better reason to go back,
though, isn't it?

Oh, no.

These 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.

Beautiful. You can do this place
justice, porno.

Ma!

Hey,

Pete.

Dad.

You could have just put him on a plane.

I didn't miss this look on your face.

Hey, how are you?

Is this us?

Yeah, me too.

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,

Better get to bed now.

Get a bit of rest up. We 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, Grandpa.

Good night, Grandpa.

How'd you get him to come home?

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 going
to be the best for him.

I wanted to give him a great
opportunity.

No way you did it.

You didn't want him to end up like me.

Of course it is.

It's okay.

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, 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 have 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, I didn't.

It's good that you didn't.

Nothing could have changed my mind.

Exactly.

Like nothing's going to change Johnny's.
He's going to do what he's going to do.

With our blood running through him?

That even Kamehameha could stop him,
huh?

Stun is stun 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.

I'm for sure not supposed to be over
here.

Did your dad ever teach you to listen to
your eldest, Pono?

Yeah. Well, I'm definitely your elder,
so listen up.

I'll take care of your dad. You just
worry about showing me the best running

moms, okay?

You got it, Grandpa.

Grandpa, get this out.

Longboard 5.

Oh, no way, dude.

Johnny Tsunami right here, Randy's
riders.

Aloha, Randy.

Just wanted to come by personally and
thank you for taking care of a little

tadpole here. Oh, not a problem. And 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

going huge.

I'll get that later.

Randy, we'll take two of these.

So you ready to catch the big wave East
Coast style, Pono?

Uh, 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.

All the good times fade away. Well, I
don't know where you are, but I'll walk

you back.

When you left, when life got hard.

I can't move on.

Johnny's grandfather.

Nice to meet you, Brett.

Don't 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.

Newsflash for you, Gramps, that's never
gonna happen. You see, this side of the

mountain's for skiers only.

You know, the sport with two boards,
poles, no tattoos.

And you think that's fair?

Sounds fair to me, Hawaii.

I mean, you get to hang with your bras
in the snowboarding park out of the way,

where hopefully you won't bring complete
and total shame to the winter sport

community.

And, well, we get to stay right here
where we've been forever.

Hey, you know what? Back on the island,
we should have this contest.

The best surfer from each group will
catch a wave, and whoever got the best

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 board will
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

even bother?

Because 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.

When it gets the meadow 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 goodbye.

Didn't you hear about tomorrow?

The race?

Yeah, well, Sarge says we gotta leave
early in the morning.

Because of his orders, I'm going to 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 going to wear my medal.

Cool.

All right, later, man.

Hey, Sam.

Yeah.

Mahalo.

You're welcome, brah.

Sam not staying?

Oh, no. He just came to say goodbye.

You have fun with your grandfather
today?

Um, yeah.

Look, I know I'm supposed to be
grounded, Dad. 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.

Yeah?

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

Sure you want to admit this?

Believe me, the older you get, the
harder it is to admit.

And 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 okay 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 an 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.

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 okay, 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 okay.

Believe me, I understand when your dad
wants you to do something that you

don't want to do.

You're really sweet.

Well, good luck.

Be careful.

Yeah, I will.

Hey! What happened?

I thought you were gone already. Saul's
got his orders changed when he realized

how epic this all was. We leave in the
morning.

Hey, you're sick, dude.

Prepped and ready to rock. I even used a
special wax in 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 going to
do this or what, Urchin?

Hey, get him in. After you.

Hey, Dave.

Hey, there he is. Hey, funnel!

What more I got you, Brett?

What's that? Some kind of Hawaiian swear
word?

It means good luck.

Oh. Well, homie, whatever to you two.

Look, first one at the bottom of the
mountain through all the gates in the

park wins.

You ready?

Say the word.

See you at the bottom, loser.

Woo -hoo!

He earned it.

She's right.

I'm excited that, if you want, you can
go back to Hawaii with your grandfather

and spend the rest of the school year
there.

Oh, for real? For real? Oh.

Well, not so bad here.

And I think I miss you guys too much.

Hope you were smart, Empty.

I'm excited.

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

years without speaking.

No matter how, uh, 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

the mountain, and we just split it down
the middle, you know, borders on my side

and skiers on mine. It's been that way
ever since, but we think it's time to

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.

Wow.

Think the world's ready for the next
giant tsunami?

Well, I think there better be, Grandpa.
