Johnny Kapahala, a teen snowboarding champion from Vermont, returns to Oahu, Hawaii, for the wedding of his hero -- his grandfather, local surf legend Johnny Tsunami -- and to catch a few famous Kauai waves. When Johnny arrives, he meets his new family including "Uncle Chris" (the 12-year-old son of his new step-grandmother) who resents the upcoming marriage. Chris's only interest is to join a mountain boarding crew led by a teenage bully. When Johnny's grandfather and his new wife open a surf shop that also caters to mountain boarders, they are soon embroiled in a turf war with a rival shop owner who wants to shut their business down.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The sequel constructs its conflict around the clash of two generations and two extreme sports cultures—surfing and mountain boarding. It relies on the proven formula of family values, exploring the acceptance of a new family through shared adversity.

What lingers after the credits is the energetic mix of volcano-slope stunts, warm Hawaiian scenery, and a predictable yet sincere lesson about loyalty and understanding. — MovieFinder Editorial
