[boy] In case some of you
don't remember,
my name is Johnny Kapahala.
I've probably changed a litte
since the last time
some of you saw me.
A few years ago, I moved from
sunny Hawaii to snowy Vermont.
Traded my surfboard for a
snowboard. But this week,
if I'd have known
what was coming,
what a wild ride it would be,
I might have just
stayed on the mountain.
Whoa! Whoa!
No! No! No!
[screaming]
[continues screaming]
Whoa!
Whoa!
Whoa!
[man] Johnny. Johnny.
[gasps, sighs]
- You OK?
- Yup.
Gnarly dream.
- How does it feel
to be back in Hawaii?
- Awesome.
- Like we've been away forever.
- Never thought we'd come back
to see my father get,
you know...
Hitched? Tied down? Hooked up?
- How about just "married?"
- [sighs]
- Are you OK with this, Dad?
- No. Yeah, I'm good.
It's because we haven't met
Grandpa's squeeze yet, isn't i?
- Her name is Carla.
- No, that's not it.
This is about Carla's son,
isn't it?
Well, don't you think
it's just a little strange?
I've always been an only child
and now, what's his name, Chri?
Dad hasn't said
two words about him.
I think it's nice that Johnny's
gonna have an uncle.
Dad, this isn't the way
to Grandpa's house.
We're gonna stay in the city
for a couple of days.
Your dad has a
business meeting
and, uh, I wanna
buy some summer clothes.
OK, well, how am I
supposed to get there?
[father] We arranged a ride
with a friend of ours.
- [mother chuckles]
- What up?
Sam!
Sam. Ah! What's up, man?
- [both grunting]
- Yeah!
- You gonna be OK, Johnny?
- How's it, bro?
I'm good, man. Better,
now that my boy is here!
- I think he'll be fine.
- [Sam] You got ugly on me, ma.
- See you at Grandpa's.
- You look good, bro.
Thanks, man!
[rock music plays]
Aloha, sun!
- Aloha, palm trees!
- Yo, yo. Chill, bro.
I mean, I'm the one that's
been in Iceland for
four years, remember?
- Yeah.
- I should be the one saying...
Oh, mahalo , Hawaii. [laugh]
- Hey, hey, hey,
eyes front, junior!
- I got it.
Whew! Man, I still can't
believe you live here.
[Sam] Yeah. I thought it
was a joke when Dad told me
he was transferred here to
Hickam. Whoa, bro, check it ou.
[rock music plays]
- You saw that, right?
- Uh, yeah.
[Johnny laughs]
All right, man.
- All right, thanks for this.
- All right, OK.
- Tell your grandpa I said hi.
- You got it.
- All right, man. Push out.
- Later.
Grandpa?
Right on. Surf's up.
What is this?
[grunts]
Whoa! Ah!
Hey! [grunts]
I told you, this is stupid!
- I don't want to surf!
- Hey!
Hey, Grandpa!
Hey, Pono! [laughs]
What's up?
Hey, how are you, Pono?
- Nice haircut!
Kinda short, huh?
- [laughs] Yeah.
Whoa! [laughs]
I never thought I'd see that.
Well,
let me tell you, Pono,
there are plenty of changes
around here.
- Like you giving surf lessons?
- Ah, only to tourists.
- Why, you need one?
- Who you callin' a tourist?
[both laugh]
- Hey, you got a visitor.
- Oh, no, that's not a visitor.
That's my Carla, Pono. [laughs]
You ready for this?
If you love her, Grandpa,
I know I'll love her.
- That's my grandson.
- [chuckles]
- [laughs] Hey.
- Hey.
- Carla, this is Johnny.
- Nice to meet you.
Oh, give me a hug!
I have heard so much about you!
- Great to meet you.
- It's good to meet you too.
- Should we go inside?
I made dinner.
- Yes!
[Carla] Where's Chris?
I thought he was with you.
Hey, he'll be here.
He's hungry.
- Mmm, I smell
Huli Huli chicken.
- [Grandpa] Your favorite.
I'll have you know it was
the first Hawaiian dish
that I learned to make.
Oh, hey, Johnny, um,
about your room.
Um, the house that
I'm renting down the beach
ended up being small, so Chris
stays here. Hope that's OK.
Totally cool. You know,
I can't wait to meet him.
Never had an uncle.
He might not want to
hang around with a teenager,
but I've always
related well to adults.
- [footsteps approaching]
- Uh, Johnny...
- What?
- [Grandpa] There's, uh...
- No.
- That's my Chris.
[door slams]
- Your new uncle.
- [objects clattering
and banging]
- [video game sound effects]
- [knock on door]
Hey, Chris.
- This is Johnny.
- Hey.
- This, uh, used to be his roo.
- Yup.
Yeah, well, uh, he can have it.
It smells like fish.
Dude, that's just the salt air,
or... it might actually be fis.
[laughs] I used to bring
buckets of stuff in here.
Mom thought it was gross,
but Grandpa was cool.
[laughs] Yeah.
Well, Chris had his
first surfing lesson today.
- Yeah, that's right.
That was, um...
- Lame.
I was gonna say cool, but,
um, dude, I totally understand.
When I was first learning,
I wiped out constantly.
[both laugh]
- Well, Chris is
gonna surf just fine.
- Yeah.
He just needs practice.
Right, Chris?
OK.
[sighs]
[Grandpa] Oh, unreal, huh?
We don't got waves like this in
Vermont, I tell you that much.
- Chris is a real
challenge, huh?
- Uh-huh.
[laughs] Come on, Pono,
you can say it.
Look, I'm sure Chris is totally
cool once you get to know him.
Yeah.
Thanks for coming, Pono.
It's the biggest day of my lif,
and you being here
made it bigger.
I wouldn't miss it
for anything.
- [both laugh]
- Oh, Houston on the outside!
- Oh, drop in, drop in.
- Whoa!
- [laughing]
- Some things never change, eh?
[laughing]
- Pono.
- Hey.
- So we hitting Sunset?
- Ah, nah.
- No time for surf today.
- Rewind.
I heard you just say something
crazy like no time for surfing.
Yeah. Come.
I wanna show you why
Carla and Chris came to Oahu.
This is why
they came to Hawaii?
Carla's father
owned this shop.
- When he passed away,
he left it to her.
- OK.
And, uh, I'm going
to help her get it going.
[laughs] Wow.
- You're gonna run a shop?
- Don't look so surprised, Pon.
- [bell jingles]
- Ta-da! Whoo-hoo!
So this is where
old surfboards go to die.
- What you think, Pono?
- It's, um...
- ...um... It's nice.
- [Carla] Hey.
- Hey!
- The cavalry's here.
[laughs] Hey.
- Hey, Johnny.
- Hey.
So, uh, where's Chris?
I thought he was with you.
Oh, no. He's, uh, across the
street with his, uh, friends.
- [Grandpa] OK.
- [Carla] Yeah.
So, Pono, I got plenty of work
for you to do around here.
Whatever you need, Grandpa.
- Well, um, there's one thing..
- Sure. No problem.
- Thanks, eh.
- I'd love to baby-sit my uncl.
[rock music plays]
Oh, look, Chrissy.
Here comes the nephew.
[sighs] Great.
- [Johnny] Hey. How's it, brah?
- Great.
- I'm Johnny.
- Jared.
This is Bo,
Spidey and Rooster.
I'm Val.
- Hey.
- Hey.
That's, um,
a dirt-board, right?
Some people call it
a mountain-board.
- Do you ride?
- He surfs.
Wow, that's so
Hawaiian of you.
You live here, right?
For now, yeah.
Tomorrow, who knows?
OK. I get it.
You're all from the Mainland
and you all don't like surfing,
and you all get your matching
outfits at Dirt Devils, huh?
They bring the dirt
and I supply the devil.
[laughs] Aw, man.
Look, I'm kiddin', bro.
Come on inside and see what
everyone's been talkin' about.
Sure. Why not?
Oh, this is all
state-of-the-art gear.
On this side we got dirt decks,
all-terrain trucks, suspension,
helmets, leathers.
Spidey, do not touch that.
And over here
it's all street.
You got your, uh,
custom decks, suspension...
Oh, man, out the back,
we do the sickest taping
this side of Carlsbad.
There's nothing but the best
for my crew, huh? Am I right?
- Yeah.
- Yeah, right.
Yeah, this stuff is,
uh, it's pretty sweet.
Yeah, well, Troy is the
godfather of dirt-boarding.
He's gonna help us get sponsors
so we can do a tour.
We can get off this rock and
make the world our dirt pile.
- You ever ride?
- Well, I skate back in Vermon.
Here, it's all
about North Shore.
Well, then the answer
would be, uh, "No."
Carving rock is gnarly, dude.
When you stack,
you don't float.
- You bleed.
- OK, I think he gets the poin.
We were gonna hit some trails
we found west of Cloud Break,
- so you could come with us.
- No, Johnny can't come
because he has
stuff to do, right?
Actually, I'd be down to give t
a try. I'll need a board.
- Cool.
- Yeah.
- Rental's on the house.
- And a helmet. And pads.
Oh, of course.
Yeah! Safety first, right?
- [all] Yeah.
- Right.
Whoo-hoo!
Whoa! [chuckles]
Yeah!
That was tough!
That was crazy!
I don't think we should be her.
The only one who
shouldn't be here is you.
These guys, they're not
your friends, are they?
You need to shut up.
All right? We're friends.
I'm sure you'd
like them to be.
You don't have the uniform.
- You're not a Dirt Devil yet.
- I will be.
Right. When you prove
you're good enough.
So prove it.
[rock music plays]
Whoa! Whoa!
Whoa! Whoa!
[grunts]
[laughs]
[Val] Johnny.
- Here.
- Whoa. Deja vu.
- Yeah, are you OK?
- Yeah, no, I'm cool.
Man, you can't stop
this thing like a snowboard.
Brah, you are awesome!
Compared to what?
Johnny "Who-nami?" [laughs]
Yeah. Kid,
that was a nice try, C,
but you know what you gotta do
to be one of us.
You gotta impress Troy.
And to impress Troy,
you gotta impress me first. OK?
So I think that you
should ride the Toilet Bowl.
- [laughter]
- Jared...
Val, chill. Thanks.
You want the gear, right? Yeah?
You gotta face the fear.
[laughter]
[Jared] Come on,
you can do it.
[Spider] What are you
waiting for?
[Jared] Get in there.
Come on.
- Chris, can you do this?
- I don't know.
- [Jared] Do it.
- Bail then.
No shame in backing off
a sketchy run.
The pros do it all the time.
- You scared, C?
- Mommy! Hold me!
- You'll never do it, C.
- Little chicken! [clucking]
- Scaredy-cat!
- Wait, dude.
- Chris.
- [siren bleeps]
[over megaphone]
You're trespassing on
private property. Bring it in.
- Right now.
- [siren wails]
- Johnny T. How's it, brah?
- Officer Oki, how's it going?
Double overhead
at Rocky Point, eh?
Yeah, I'm gonna try to catch
the glass-off later, so...
Hey, I got something for you.
What's going on?
I found these two ripping up
some private property on this.
It was my idea.
I asked Chris to teach me.
- I guess I chose
the wrong spot.
- What were you thinking?
So, what's it gonna be,
Officer Oki?
Well, this is
Chris' second warning.
Next time, it's wikiwiki
to the juvie judge.
Inside with me.
Come on. Right now.
You know,
I would have been outta th.
- Face planted
at the bottom, brah.
- Brah?
Do me a favor and just stop
calling me that, all right?
I'm not your brah,
your bro,
or any other part
of your family.
So Chris, uh, we talked about
what happened today.
Johnny knows, uh, I'm not
into this punishment thing.
When his dad was your age,
we disagreed.
But I believed that in time
he'd find his own path.
I believe in you too, Chris.
This path you're on
right now... it's dangerous.
So we've, um... we've decided
to take away your wheels.
No more dirt-boarding
for the week.
- But, Mom...
- No, no "buts."
What about him?
He said that it was his idea!
You know what, Chris?
I don't want to hear it, OK? G.
[Chris] Great job, brah.
Grandpa, I'm sorry.
Yeah, well, I appreciate
what you tried to do. I do.
I just wish it would've
turned out better.
You OK, Grandpa?
I never told you, if we
don't open the shop in time,
generate some cash right away,
Carla may lose everything.
Well, is there anything
that can I do?
- Chris.
- I know he's kind of...
Angry? Bitter?
A pain in the...?
Pono, look.
Please, for me, just keep him
out of trouble till Saturday.
- Dude, where's your board?
- I can't go surfing.
- Quick. Get in the car!
- Why?
Uh, 'cause I'm taking you to te
hospital. You've gotta be sick.
Uncle doesn't surf.
- Chris, Sam. Sam, Chris.
- What's up, Chris?
Whatever.
Look, bro, all I'm saying
is your grandpa doesn't
seem like the business type.
He isn't. Wasn't.
The place is gonna
crash and burn.
Hello? Anybody here?
Weird. Grandpa's car's
out front.
Maybe he went to
the barbershop for a trim.
[laughs] Yeah, right.
- You're kidding?
- Not really.
"Gone to the barbershop
for a trim."
[laughs] Well,
I'm gonna go ask him
to see what he
wants us to do first.
- Um, keep an eye on him for m?
- Gotcha, bro.
- You don't have to watch me.
- Right.
[laughs]
- [Grandpa] Hey, brother.
How's it?
- Sorry.
- Hey, Pono!
- Grandpa?
So, what you think, Pono?
Crazy, huh?
Uh, yeah,
you could say that.
Gonna meet Carla at the bank.
Where's Chris?
- He's back at
the shop with Sam.
- Oh, late.
You're wearing a watch?
You never wear a watch.
Not since... Wish me luck. We'l
tell you about it later, eh?
All right.
- Hey, Carla.
- Hey.
Whoa, bro. I haven't
seen that look since the...
Come to think of it,
I've never seen that look.
- What's going on?
- I saw my grandpa.
- Yeah, so?
- He was wearing a suit.
[laughs] Don't joke
about something like that.
Hey, where's Chris?
[indistinct chatter]
He isn't skating and he's not
doing anything ill*gal, so...
We need to
help Grandpa with this.
- Guess we'll call it
volunteer work.
- Cool. Thanks, man.
- No, it's cool.
- All right.
So let's see
what we got here...
[laughs] Man,
do I love summertime.
- Best time of the year.
- [mother] I'll take that.
Mom! Um, dad?
You guys came back early.
Yeah, well, your grandfather
called. He sounded strange.
You should see how he looks.
- Looks?
- Never mind.
- We're here to help.
- Good. There's all this stuff
to put on the racks
and no one surfs anymore.
I'm supposed to take care
of my new uncle-to-be who,
you probably know by now,
is 12 and a punk...
- Johnny. Breathe.
- [Sam] Listen.
I got the DSL up, but the
wireless router's jacked.
There's tons of
software to load...
Come on, Sam.
Take it easy.
- [Sam] Nothing I can do...
- Calm down. Take a break.
- We'll handle
the computer and the...
- Merchandise?
Right.
You two go have...
Well, have some fun.
- All right. I love my parents.
- [Sam] Yeah, me too.
All right, got the wax
'cause you always forget.
- I know, bro.
- Let's get my board
and go surf.
Whoa, bro.
Where's Chris going?
[engine starts]
[car doors slamming]
Chris, hold on!
We gotta go after him.
- You sure?
- Yes.
Maybe you'll get lucky
and they won't give him back.
I promised I'd keep
Chris out of trouble.
This looks like trouble.
[indistinct chattering]
- Hey, Troy.
- Yeah.
What, uh...
What we doin' here?
Well, I'm leaving and they're
gonna... do what they do.
- Chris isn't allowed to skate.
- As I understand it,
he's not allowed to, uh,
dirt-board. [laughs] Come on.
It's cool. Val heard
that Chris couldn't ride dirt,
so I set up this little street
course on my buddy's barge.
Hey, uh, Johnny?
Look, I'm on Chris's side.
I know how much skating
means to these kids.
They really stick together.
You take Rooster, for instance.
He's from Montana.
He came here.
He doesn't surf,
he had no friends,
then he found the Dirt Devils.
And Chris, well, I was just
telling him he might be
almost ready to wear the logo.
Oh, really? Did he do
something impressive?
I hear you have to be impresse.
[laughs] Man, Jared just says
that to scare off the posers.
Look, man,
Chris is 12.
His mom doesn't
even know he's here.
He'll be fine, bro. I mean,
isn't that why you're here?
[engine starts]
I don't get that kid.
I mean, he knows that everyones
stressing this week, you know?
With the shop and the wedding?
Now he's pullin' this.
Maybe it's his way
of dealing, bro.
I mean, it ain't easy
to move to a new place.
And it can't be easy
to suddenly have a new parent.
All I'm sayin' is you know
Chris is going through things
that you did when you
moved to Vermont. All right?
- Yeah, yeah. You're right.
- So what'd you do back then
- to feel better?
- Hung out with you.
That's what I'm talking about.
Yeah, and we became boys
'cause we loved riding boards
more than anything else.
No doubt. No doubt.
[sighs] All right,
let's go make friends.
That's what I'm talking about.
You on the right page.
- [rock music plays]
- [indistinct chatter]
Hey, Chris!
- What's up, man?
- What are you guys doing here?
Hangin' out. Skating.
If that's OK with you.
- So surfer boy's gonna drop i.
- Yeah.
- Yeah? You sure you can hang?
- Go big or go home, right?
- You know it.
- You ever actually
skated like this?
- It's not exactly cruising.
- Hmm. I don't know.
- You think we can handle it?
- Yeah, I don't know, bro.
- Looks pretty gnarly.
- [laughter]
If we stack, we quit. Deal?
- Hey, you know what?
He's your nephew.
- [Johnny] Cool.
[laughs] Sweet.
Yeah, OK.
This should be comedy.

What?
They're cool with you.
Come on. You surf, you snowboad
and now you're, like...
- You're like some Tony Hawk.
- What can I say?
I mean, we got a great
skate park in Vermont.
Hey, it doesn't snow all year.
I tried, Grandpa.
I really did.
Chris just doesn't like me.
Ah, Pono,
it's not that.
You know,
I don't just get him.
You know, the kid's got the
best room on the best beach.
He lives with you. There's
nothing bad about his life.
[sighs] I'm sorry, Grandpa.
I'm out of ideas.
I don't know what to do
with him tomorrow, I...
Tomorrow,
I'll handle Chris.
He's my responsibility,
not yours.
I'm sorry
I laid that on you.
[laughs] And now that
your mom and dad are here,
the store's gonna
get opened in time.
There's one thing left
I need you to do.
You're gonna
like this. [laughs]
- [Val] Need one of these?
- Yeah. Thanks.
Heard the swells are mellow.
Well, I'll ride anything,
as long as it's water.
I'll get this. I tried surfing
once, back in California.
- Mmm. And, uh, what happened?
- I chipped a tooth.
- [laughs]
- Yeah. It wasn't pretty.
It must not have been too bad
'cause, you know, you look OK.
- I mean, um, you look good.
- Thanks.
So, uh, you gave up surfing?
Yeah, I guess I just
got comfortable on dirt.
My dad doesn't
like it so much.
There's not a lot of
safe places to board.
But hey, surfing's cool.
I mean, you know,
if I knew what I was doing,
I'd probably
really get into it.
Oh, well, we could...
I mean, I could teach you.
If you want.
Uh, if that's cool.
- Are you always this slow?
- I'll grab an extra board.

I'm gonna get
this kid to like me.
Excuse me, have we met?
I mean, bro, aren't you
Johnny "It's all good" Kapahal?
You don't care
if people hate on you.
I do when they're
part of my family.
No, man, there has
got to be a way.
Dude, don't!
- [groans]
- [laughs] Told you.
- I just got an idea.
- That's the magic
of brain freeze.
Hold on.
[heavy metal
plays over headphones]
Oh! Ow! Ow! Oh!
- [laughing]
- Knock it off! No!
Come on. I don't wanna
go anywhere with you guys!
[both] All right.
Go ahead. Hey, yo, J,
you wanna watch our new video?
Ah, yeah. Good idea. You know,
we should roll by Dirt Devils.
Jared and Spidey and the guys
would be into seeing this.
It's their kind of humor?
You know, me personally, bro,
[laughs]
I can't stop laughing.
Gimme that!
All right, here's the deal.
You spend the day with us,
- doing what we want to do...
- And we destroy the file.
- I believe that's a yes.
- [laughs]
You guys know that
blackmail's a felony, right?
Staying at home on a day
like this is a crime.
You guys are in so
much trouble when we get home.
- You don't even wanna know.
- Wow, J. Your uncle is so coo.
You know what? Can you just
chill, for, like, five seconds?
- Don't worry, all right?
It'll be cool.
- Yeah, seriously.
OK, brah. Stupid surfboard.
[Chris] Oh, whoa!
This is so cool!
Hey, guys.
- Hey.
- What's up?
Whoa, wait a minute, Val.
You, uh, you live here?
Yeah. I mean, it's kind of
embarrassing. It's so...
- Totally sick!
- Well, I was gonna say big.
My dad owns a lot of property
and businesses and stuff.
- He likes to own things.
- That's cool.
- You wanna see something
way cooler?
- Sure.
- Come on.
- Cool.
Here they are.
- Yeah.
- Oh.
- What do you all think?
- Whoo-hoo!
Sure we're
allowed to ride these?
Absolutely.
Sweet 16 present from my dad.
- You always get what you want?
- Well, pretty much.
My dad feels guilty
because he works all the time.
- And my mom lives in Chicago.
- That's gotta be hard.
When I get lonely,
I just hang out at Dirt Devils.
- That's a lot of boards.
- Everybody pick one.
All right.
- Hey. It's cool.
- Yeah?
I talked to my grandpa.
Dirt-board ban lifted.
- Thanks.
- All right?

What an improvement.
- Whoo!
- We saved that
window display for you.
Ooh. Hey.
- You sure you want to do it?
- Oh, yeah.
Wait till Chris
gets a load of this.
- [laughs] Oh!
- All right.
- There is no competition.
- [man on phone]
Not what I heard.
This is a great deal and
I'd hate to see you miss out.
I'm not buying your shop.
Deal's off.
[dial tone]
[rock music plays]
- Jared.
- Yeah.
Are you sure that Chris's mom's
place is just a surf shop?
Yeah. Nothin' but surfboards
and wetsuits last time I looke.
All right, well,
check it out again.
Something tells me
they might be diversifying.
- Uh, might be what?
- Just check it out.
OK.
How sick was that, man?
That was really...
- Hey. You don't
need to clean up.
- You sure?
- I'll clean later.
- What about when I fishtailed?
Thank you so much, Val.
I had so much fun today.
That's not a problem.
I had a great time.
- It was sick.
- You were impressive.
- Really?
- Yeah.
- [Johnny]
You totally rocked it.
- Daddy.
Either we're being robbed
or these are your
dirt-boarding friends.
Everybody, this is...
Hi. Nice to meet you,
Mr. Clark.
I'm...
I'm Val's... I'm...
- ...Chris. I'm...
- And this is Johnny and Sam.
- How's it going?
- All right, then.
I hope you kids
are boarding safe.
[Chris] 'Course.
- Definitely.
- Sure.
Pumpkin, get cleaned up.
We've got dinner
with the Nakamuras.
OK. Well, there's something
to look forward to.
- Um... Pumpkin?
- Get out of here right now.
- No. You sure we can take off?
- It's fine. I'll do it later.
- All right.
- Later.
- Thanks, Val.
- See you later, Val.
- I'm Val's Sam.
- And I'm Val's Johnny.
- What was that?
- I don't know
if you guys heard,
- but Val said
I was the greatest.
- Whatever.
Anyway, I got shotgun.
Remember how I told you my
grandpa was talking to some due
- outside the bank?
- Yeah, yeah.
That was him.
- You sure?
- Yeah.
Why's my grandpa hangin'
with a guy like that?
- [Chris] I call shotgun.
- No!
- [bell jingles]
- [indistinct chatter]
[soft rock music plays]
- Oh, hey.
- Hey.
Hi.
- I was, um...
- Looking for Chris, maybe?
Yes. Absolutely.
- Is he here?
- No, no.
He's, um,
hanging out with Johnny.
Great. I'll go find him.
See you later.
[heavy metal music plays]
I knew it. I knew it.
Axel trucks, aluminum wheels.
Hey, Spidey.
Up, up, up,
up, up, up, up.
Toe straps, bindings,
tires and tubes...
Hey, guys, do you want me
to find you something to do?
- Go. Come on.
- Cool.
This is all
just like your stuff.
You picked up on that,
did you?
All right, come on.
It's time to go pay a visit.
Hey, I guess if you're
too old to ride 'em,
you sell 'em, huh?
[laughs]
- Hello, Troy. How's it?
- It's all good on
my side of the fence.
Now, uh, over here,
I don't know.
- Is everything OK?
- Oh, yeah, yeah.
There's no problem.
I am surprised that you'd want
to go toe to toe with me, John.
Eh, just a few dirt-boards.
Don't worry, brah.
Oh, I'm not worried.
Not even a little.
- Competition's
good for community.
- Right.
Well, just remember,
it was your idea.
[Chris] Hey! Troy, we were
just at Val's. It was sick.
You should have been there!
She had dirt-boards, ATVs...
It was so cool!
Oh, and now that
we're competing, you should
probably keep your little spy
away from my store.
Spy?
- What did you say to 'em?
- Nothing, Chris.
- No, you obviously
said something.
- Chris!
I knew
you'd ruin it for me.
Don't talk to
my grandpa like that.
God, whatever!
[bell jingles]
- What happened?
- [laughs] No big thing.
[Carla] Chris? Let's go.
Maybe he'll talk to me
if we're alone for a while.
- [car engine revving]
- [scraping]
When I was 16, Pono,
I decided I was ready
for Surf Pipeline, eh?
In my mind, I was
not just a good surfer,
- I was great. I...
- You still are a great surfer.
But when I was 16,
I was immortal.
All my friends and I,
we were working at
a shrimp shop down in Waimea.
Some pros that we knew
came in one day
and they said
the pipes was going off.
Huge.
- Triple head plus.
- Whoo!
Said it was too big.
That's all I needed. Couldn't
get down there fast enough.
- Man! You must've been scared.
- Yeah, I should have been.
So I took off
on this huge wave. Oh.
Ate it big time.
Waves were breaking so fast,
I couldn't get out.
Took on too much, Johnny.
Promised myself
I'd never do that again.
[Johnny] It's weird. Grandpa
was gone before I got up
this morning.
He's just gone to pick up
last-minute things for the shop.
I'm just glad it's finally
ready for the opening.
I, for one,
am relaxing today.
No, you're not.
We've got a million things
to do before the rehearsal lua.
- Hey. Where's John?
- Is everything OK?
No. Chris is gone.
- Do you see him?
- Nope. Not yet.
When you do,
you tell that kid to run,
because he's choked
my vacation buzz.
[Val] I don't believe you.
- [Jared] Don't believe you.
- You can't stop me!
- We're the same crew.
- Not anymore.
Hang with the competition,
lose your ride.
All right, man, stay here.
- Let me by!
- Hey, let her go.
It's cool, nephew.
Just relax, OK?
I already
bought my ticket, Troy!
Well, that's, uh, great. Now
all you gotta do is find a rid.
- Where are they going?
- A pro dirt-boarding demo.
We all bought our tickets
a month ago.
- Did Chris buy a ticket?
- I guess so.
Troy was gonna introduce us
to sponsors.
Akoni Kama's
gonna be there.
He's like the god
of all-terrain.
How am I
gonna get there?
What? You can't
ride in my whip?
[rock music plays]
All right, let's do it.
[announcer]
Ladies and gentlemen...
[announcer 2] Give a big hand.
- [cheering]
- [Sam] Yo. Check it out.
- [cheering]
- We need to go see that.
- No, Val. Chris.
- Sorry.
I'm sure
we'll find him.
- Dude!
- That was crazy.
- OK!
- Guys!
Chris! Chris!
[announcer] Akoni Kama!
He's got brown hair...
[announcer] Oh, yeah!
Way to punch it!
I'm just saying,
call me anytime you want.
- I'm sorry.
- Whatever.
[announcer] Tony Cabo
with the nice back flip!
Excuse me, have you
seen a kid about this tall?
[announcer] Oh, backside
fakey 180 from Leon.
[announcer] Trick, ladies and
gentlemen. 360 indie grab.
Backside 360 double grab.
Whoa! Massive one-footer.
Good ride, man.
[announcer]
That's Akoni Kama.
Give him a big hand! He'll be
here all day signing autogra.
Grandpa? Yeah.
We haven't... found him.
- I...
- Just back off!
No, no! I actually...
I just found him!
Tell Carla not to worry.
I will bring him back.
[Chris] I'm sick of this.
I've been working.
- You have not proven yourself!
- I haven't?
Hey, hey. Everybody chill.
I'm way better than you!
Listen, Barney. Maybe you
should take your training whees
and go home before you say
something really stupid.
- Whoa, barney?
- That's not cool.
I know your problem.
You're afraid to race me!
Yes, Chris,
you caught me. I...
I am afraid. I'm afraid
I'm going to die...
- ...of boredom.
- A-ha! Classic.
You're gonna die...
OK, uh,
the guys at ProBoards,
they, um... They want
to meet the Dirt Devils!
[cheering]
- Yes!
- All right, Dirt Devils.
Follow me.
Hey, hey, Troy?
Troy. Troy, listen.
Listen, I really
want to be on your crew.
I'm... I'm ready.
- Just give me a chance.
- Troy, Chris is really great.
- Give him a chance.
- We gotta get back home.
Whatever you want, I'll do it.
I'll do it now.
Oh, OK. Uh...
Here's what I wanna see. I wana
see you tellin' your new dad
if it's a board and it has
wheels, it sells at my shop.
- Period.
- Yeah. OK, man. Whatever.
- Just let me ride.
- Chris, we gotta jet.
- Let me go.
- Jared's my team captain.
He knows what it takes to be on
this team. If he says you're i,
then you get to wear
the D-squared logo.
You want to be a Devil, grom?
You gotta get air. Big air.
Not those baby bumps
you been ridin'.
No problem.
Name the place.
How about... Pupukea?
The gap at the bottom
of the south trail.
- When?
- Tomorrow. 3:00.
Chris, come on.
Let's go.
- I'm there.
- Can't wait.
[announcer] That's Akoni Kama.
He'll be here
all day signing autographs.
He ran away
from home, John.
He went to
hang with his friends,
- and do what he loves.
- He took the bus! By himself!
Old lady tourists
take the bus around here.
That's not the point, OK?
[sighs]
As he gets older,
he's going to make mistakes.
- He's gonna
do things he regrets.
- I know.
Sometimes he'll
need his mother.
But right now, what he needs
most is to be part of somethin.
To belong.
Ah, great.
You know, they say that
if you're a pipeline surfer,
you're gonna get hurt. It's
not a matter of if, or when.
- It's inevitable.
- You know, as usual,
I have no idea what
you're talking about.
Your mom and my grandpa.
They are
going to get married.
Whether we like it or not,
it's gonna happen.
We are gonna be a family.
So all this yelling and
slamming doors, running away,
it's not gonna change anything.
In the meantime, you're
making everyone miserable.
You know what?
You can leave me alone.
You know, all I want...
All I want is for
my grandpa to be happy.
And I think your mom
deserves the same.
She seems like a really nice
person. That's all I'm saying.
Yeah, thanks.
I'll always cherish this momen.
Later, brah.
Ooh! Oh...
- [straining]
- There. No, back.
- Back.
- [Grandpa] You sure?
Yes. Back. That's it.
Unless...
You know
where we could put this?
Right here.
Perfect.
- How's that checklist, Mel?
- Very checked, thank you.
- Flowers finally came!
- Check.
- Oh, music.
- Uh, check.
- Thank you.
- [father] Hula dancers?
- [Mel laughs] Double check.
- OK.
Um, you do realize this
isn't even the actual wedding.
It's just
the rehearsal dinner.
Just wait till
you get married, Pono.
Hey. Do I have to
worry about you today?
- No. No.
- Hey. You're my boy.
Kiss me.
- [Grandpa] Uh, Pete?
You ready to go?
- Yeah. sh**t.
- Go where?
We still need muscle.
- What?
Oh, don't worry.
We'll be back.
We just have a few, uh,
details to take care of.
We'll be ready for the
grand opening tomorrow.
Grand opening in the morning,
wedding at night. Am I crazy?
A whole day
of new beginnings, Pono.
- So what? You coming?
- Nah.
Somebody's gotta stay behind
and... be the muscle.
- Thank you.
- Don't rip your shirt, Rock.
Very funny. And just
so you know, it's The Rock.
OK, The Rock.
We'll see you hula time, eh?
[Johnny] All right.
Hey, um, come on, man.
I need some help.
Come on.
- All right, we'll look at...
- Hey, um, thanks.
- For what?
- You know,
for not telling anyone
- about the jump today.
- Oh, well, that was easy.
- Really?
- Yeah.
- Because there isn't
gonna be any jump.
- Says you.
- What's up?
- You see those
flower arrangements?
- The stupid pineapple ones?
- Yeah.
My mom has spent
hours on them.
My dad has set up
every chair and table here.
- So?
- So for the next 24 hours,
you and your
miserable little life
consists of doing
whatever it takes
to make this day special
for your mom and my grandpa,
just like the rest of us.
- Or what?
- Trust me.
You don't want to know.
- Johnny?
- You win. Fine.
- Good.
- I need you to go into town
and pick up things from
this list. Don't forget ice.
[Johnny] Yeah, sure.
No problem.
- Hey, um, can I come?
- Why do you want to come?
I thought I'd help you out
with the ice bags.
- OK. Thanks.
- Yeah. Gotcha, bro.
Just, uh,
wait for me in the car.
I'm impressed.
How'd you do that?
I, uh, guess I appealed to his
sense of self-preservation.
OK. [laughs]
Seat belts.
- All right. Bye, Mom.
- Seat belt!
Hey, uh, gotta go
to the bathroom.
Why didn't you go
before we left?
Didn't have to go then.
[sighs]
Well, all right.
Just come and find me when
you're done. This list is craz.
Hold that.
I can't believe I fell for tha.
Great. Flat tire.
[Spidey] Yo,
that's at least 15 feet deep.
[Bo] Don't fall in.
It's looking pretty gnarly!
[Spidey] That's your jump,
Chrissy.
[Jared] Let's go.
I can't believe
you fell for that.
- OK, really not the point.
- You gotta admit, it's funny.
Mom, dad and grandpa are
going to think it's hilarious.
There they are.
- Do this and I'm a Dirt Devil?
- Absolutely. It's all you, br.
[Johnny] Tell me he's not
gonna try that gap.
- I wish I could.
- Chris, wait!
Decision time, C.
Better hurry. Nephew
doesn't look too stoked.
[Johnny] Chris, hold up!
Oh! Oh!
- Chris!
- [laughs]
- You all right?
- My arm! It kills.
- Stay still. Just stay still.
- That was awesome, dude.
Back off, all right?
I'm serious!
It's cool, OK?
- Does anything else hurt?
- No.
- I'm gonna get help, OK?
- OK. All right, go. Thanks.
- You all right?
- How could you
let this happen, Johnny?
You were
keeping an eye on him.
I was. He's like some
Johnny tried to stop Chris.
We just got there too late.
You gotta give him props for
that jump. It was pretty sweet.
I think we'll hold off on
the props for a little while.
We're lucky. It's a simple
fracture. Nothing serious.
I am so sorry
about all of this.
No, I'm sorry.
I should've kept an eye on him.
Sorry about your dinner...
No, Johnny, please. It's OK.
Chris told us everything.
- [Grandpa] Hey, Mel, Pete.
Help me clean up?
- Yeah.
- Can I help?
- Yeah. Come.
Does it hurt?
A... little.
That was a pretty
sweet jump, though.
- [car approaching]
- [indistinct radio chatter]
- This should be fun.
- Hey, relax.
This ain't about you.
Hey, Johnny T.
[Oki] I've got bad news.
There was a break-in at
the store. It's been trashed.
Who would do
something like this?
I've got officers
canvassing the area.
We'll do an investigation,
see if we can find fingerprints
on that window in back.
We've been here every day,
every night.
Whoever did this probably
knew you'd all be busy tonight.
- Jared.
- Jared.
We found him behind Dirt Devils
with a key to the store room.
He was stashing this.
- [siren wails]
- Copy.
That's affirmative,
dispatch. Over.
There are three more bags
of stolen gear
where we found that one.
- Troy's on his way.
- Speak of the devil.
Oh, this is brutal.
It's not good for the opening.
[Oki] You know
anything about this?
Uh, no.
- Hey. Put in him the car.
- Come on.
- Sure we have to
call my parents?
- You're joking.
Troy. We're gonna need
access to your storeroom.
Oh, yeah. Absolutely.
You have my full cooperation.
- Hey, John.
- Yeah, Troy.
I just want to apologize
for the other day.
- Ah...
- I have to admit
that I was nervous
about having the legend, the
great Johnny T., as competitio.
But, man,
this just makes me sick.
And If there's, uh,
anything I can do to help...
You know, I don't think
there's much anyone can do.
Well, I better go and help out.
But hey, I heard about the jum.
Oh, you did? Cool.
It's impressive, man.
Why don't you come
by the store tomorrow?
I got a Dirt Devils helmet
in your size.
- Sweet.
- That's not going to happen.
What are you talking about?
You going to ride
for these guys
- after all that's happened?
- Johnny, please. Not now.
Hey, Troy.
- Time to go, brah.
- Oh, hey. My bad.
I guess when I see real talent,
I have to go after it.
But I hear ya.
Family first, right?
Come on, Val, we gotta get
you home. Chris, Johnny.
No. I'm not riding with him.
- He ruins everything for me!
- Christopher, please.
I hate this family.
Dad, listen, we'll all
sort this out tomorrow.
- Together, all right?
- Thanks, eh.
[Carla] I don't know
what I was thinking.
This place
might be paradise,
but it's still real life.
[Grandpa] A life
we can work on together.
All this can be fixed.
We'll ask the bank for an
extension on the loan...
It's not the shop, John.
I think I made a mistake.
Staying here,
thinking I could just
bring Chris with me
on my little
Hawaiian adventure.
And he's not luggage,
you know?
- He's a boy and...
- He just needs some time.
He'll come around.
I can't take that risk.
I just...
...can't marry you, John.
I'm taking Chris
back to Philly.
We'll sell the shop and, um,
- of course
you'll get a share...
- Share?
I don't want a share,
I want you.
I want to be Chris's father.
I've barely been his mother.
I've been so wrapped up
in opening this business.
Hey, you're always saying
that things will work out,
let nature take its course.
But for the good of my son,
I can't wait that long.
I'm sorry.
Waves look
pretty tasty today.
Eh, don't feel like
getting in the water much, Pon.
[Johnny] It's funny.
I was getting used to the idea
of having a 12-year-old uncle.
Yeah, I can't imagine
them not being here,
Carla and Chris.
They've become
such a huge part of me.
You ever tell Chris that?
Hard to face that...
...whatever I say to Chris
is perhaps too late.
No! No, it's not.
We just need to figure out a wy
to make things pono again.
You and me, all right?
It's what we're great at.
It's right there
on my bedroom door.
- [Grandpa laughs]
- What?
You're not a tadpole anymore,
eh, Pono?
Not exactly.
I've been too busy
to even recognize that.
Mahalo , Pono.
You know what?
I know the one person
on the planet
that Chris might
actually listen to.
[knocking on door]
You, uh, go away, please.
- I'm sorry, I can't do that.
- Val!
- Val, what's up?
- I need to talk to you.
Why?
Somebody has to keep you
from becoming a Jared.
- Jared?
- Yeah.
It's Hawaiian for "loser."
Chris, Johnny Kapahala is,
like, the best big brother.
Or nephew or whatever
you could ever ask for.
And since he came here,
he's done nothing
but try to be your friend.
- You don't understand...
- He learned how to
dirt-board for you.
He made a fool of himself
for you. He skated the barge.
He tracked you down
when you ran away.
He stood up to Troy and Jared.
And yesterday, when the rest
of your so-called friends
didn't even care whether or not
you jumped to your death,
- he tried to stop you.
- I didn't ask him
to do all that.
- No. Mr. Kapahala did.
- What?
Johnny's grandpa, he asked his
his entire Hawaiian vacation
with his 12-year-old,
soon-to-be-stepson.
And Johnny did it.
I just don't get it.
You've got this whole family
of people who love you.
They want to be with you
and they want you to be happy.
Why would you
walk away from that?
[door slams]
- Do you see?
- Johnny and Chris talking?
- Should we be worried?
- Only if we hear police siren.
[Chris] This whole thing
is my fault.
If I would've listened to you
and not have gone for that jum,
Jared would have never
known about the party.
And...
...my mom would
be opening the shop today,
and she'd be marrying
your grandpa tonight.
Look, I... I really
want to fix this.
I just... don't know how.
- You really do?
- Yeah.
Then I guess it's a good thing
that your nephew's a genius.
[laughs] Come with me.
[Mel] Carla, what if you staye?
Just... postpone the wedding,
give the shop a chance. I...
- Give Dad some time with Chri.
- No, it's complicated.
Well, of course it is.
I just...
I want you to know
we'll all be really sad
if you leave.
I mean, what's a
Hawaiian vacation
without some police
intervention
and a couple trips
to the emergency room?
[laughs] Hopefully,
we'll outgrow that.
- Exactly.
- Well, we got most
of the restaurant deposit back
for the reception.
We do, however,
have to eat there tonight
and order the entire
right side of the menu.
[phone rings]
Hello? Yeah. OK.
All right.
That was Johnny.
- What's up?
- He's at the store with Chris.
Well, is Chris OK?
Chris? Open up.
It's locked.
Pono!
[Grandpa chuckles]
[Mel] This is incredible! Oh!
- [Grandpa] Unreal, eh?
- Look at that.
- [gasps]
- [laughs]
- Surprise!
- Chris! Did you do this?
Yep. Me and my friends.
- Oh, my...
- [Johnny] We debated.
Fix up the shop or do something
dangerous and/or ill*gal.
- We settled on this.
- Good choice.
- You no need do that, Pono.
- Yes. Yes, we did.
Yeah.
- Hey, uh, you know Val, right?
- Mom.
- Hey, Val.
- She's really bossy.
I am. But in a good way.
Mom, I don't want to move...
...yet.
You know, I think
I could like it here.
- Really?
- Yeah.
Oh, sweetheart.
I love you.
- What do you think about thes?
- [girl] I like that one.
- I want you to see this.
- [girl] 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? Grea.
Let me think...
Sam! Sam!
- She's just like my mom.
- [Val] 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.
[Troy] Can't do this.
We had a verbal contract.
[Mr. Clark] Negotiating.
Our negotiations broke down.
- [Troy] 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.
- [Chris] 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
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.
[laughs] Oh, this is... This is
really funny. Man, this is goo.
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 ma.
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?
- [Grandpa] Mountain-board rac.
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.
[laughs] 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 thin.
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. [laughs]
- 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 , Grandp.
- [Sam] 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.
[laughs] I'm just playing, man.
Hey, stay dusty, man.
- Stay dusty, all right.
Troy who?
- [laughs]
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 anywa.
- [laughing]
- Hey, where you going?
I'm gonna make sure that the
ambulance has the motor runnin.
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.
[laughs]
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.
[Sam] Riders ready...
...set...
[cheering]
- [cheering]
- [laughing]
Man!
[cheering]
[cheering]
Come on, J!
Come on! Come on, Johnny!
[grunts, groaning]
[cheering]
- Yeah!
- Whoo!
[gasping]
- Johnny!
- Pono!
You all right, Pono?
Say something.
- That was sweet.
- [laughs]
- [grunting]
- Nice.
The Kapahala way.
- [laughter]
- Whoo!
- Yeah!
- [cheering]
Congratulations!
- That was nice.
- Man!
- [Chris] Sweet, man.
- [Carla] That was so great.
My gosh!
- You know, this isn't over.
- [Oki] 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.
[Rooster] 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 thinkin.
It would be such a shame
to let that beautiful dress
to go to waste.
Ta-da!
[Mel] Oh! Oh, my gosh!
- [Grandpa] Close one, eh?
- Congratulations, Dad.
- I'm really happy for you.
- Thanks.
[man] I now pronounce you
man and wife.
John Kapahala,
you may kiss your bride.
[speaks Hawaiian]
- [Hawaiian music plays]
- [applause]
- [Grandpa] Whee!
- Yeah.
So, you ready
to give that a try soon?
Whatever, whatever.
Surfing's no big deal.
No big deal? Did he
just say no big deal?
- I think he did.
- No!
- Whee!
- [Chris laughs]
- Here it comes! Here it comes!
- Whoo!
You guys
were gonna throw me in.
Yeah, and
you were scared.
Ooh, yeah.
Scared. For sure.
No, no, no. I saw your eyes.
I saw fear in your eyes...
