About this movie

The adventure of a lifetime begins. Featuring breathtaking surfing action and some of the most dangerous waves on Earth, North Shore is an adrenaline-powered look into the high-performance sport of big wave surfing. Rick Kane (Matt Adler) is a teenage surf champion from Arizona who dreams of conquering the legendary waves off Oahu’s North Shore. When he finally makes it to Hawaii, he learns the harsh reality of life on the beach: the waves are tough and the locals are even tougher. But with help from a surfing guru (Gregory Harrison) and the love and support of a local girl (Nia Peeples), Rick conquers his fears, gains the respect of his adversaries, and discovers the real secret to mastering the powerful waves of this island paradise. North Shore captures the essence of surfing life and the harmony that can exist between a surfer and the massive ocean waves. Also featuring appearances by wave legends Gerry Lopez and Laird Hamilton and World Champions, Shaun Tomson, Derek Ho and Mark Occhilupo.
