This film follows Anne Marie's courage to get back on her surf board after a near drowning incident. Her mum ran of and abandoned her with her little sister. Anne Maire struggles to pay the rent and buy food. She lives with her sister and two friends in a small leaky house near the beach. Working as a maid she doesn't earn much and still lives on the dream of becoming a famous surfer. We see Anne Marie train hard for Pike the competition that may make her dreams come true but then a footballer comes on the scene and catches her affections, she is distracted from her training and neglects her friends and sister. But soon she remembers what is important to her and the day comes when she must compete in Pike- the deadliest waves in Hawali. Competing against her is a famous surfer her makes Anne Marie feel inferior. They battle the waves out and the competitors both take a thrashing with Anne Maire's past coming back to hunt her. In the end Anne Marie gets her dream by becoming a member of the Billabong team. i thought this film rocked the waves have such a calming effect and the shots of Hawali are beautiful.
