Must-see!!!

What a sweet movie!! You need to see this. I am surprised I never heard about it before. Made before I owned a video player, It's a timeless about a surfer who decides to move to Hawaii. Normally skeptical, I give this 10 stars.

Lead actor Michael Cummings did a great job as the positive example in the surfer's life. The central character's surfer role was very convincing, including significant narration.

Michael Cummings later married the supporting actress, Maureen McCormick (best known as Brady Bunch's Marcia Brady). Now I see why! She really "stretches" in this movie.

I'm tempted to share the great parts of the story, because it seemed so real, but I'd spoil it. I'd be surprised if it wasn't based on a true story.
