Surfing is taken seriously in Ventura, Calif., and for JD (Khan Chittenden) and his shorts-wearing, job-hating, water-loving crew, nothing is more righteous than tracking down the heinous San Fernando Valley thief who's stolen JD's awesome custom-built surfboard. Veteran surfer Mike Mooney (character actor Matthew Lillard) encourages the dudes' antics as they gather clues, rally the locals and turn their fun-filled summer into a moral mission.
