Description

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.

    This movie got me into surfing and I never looked back. Sure most might have given it a “cheesy” nod to Karate Kid but it’s core message and aloha spirit has me hooked. Most of your top pros at the time were all in the movie...call it what you will but for me it’s one of the best surf movies ever made..a “classic!!”

    Truly one of the two or three greatest dramas about surfing ever made. A classic known to all the pros! A fantastic look at life on the North Shore of Oahu, the birthplace and capitol of surfing!!

    This is one of my favorite movies of the 80's. Before Point Break's surfing, there was North Shore. This was every kids dream in the 80's, to be able to go out and be surfer. If it wasn't Tony Hawk, it was Laird Hamilton.
