A mystical coming-of-age story about Kamea, a teenage Hawai'ian girl living on Oahu's North Shore who falls in love with Thomas, a cute surfer boy who's obsessed with Hawai'ian surf legend Duke Kahanamoku. Kamea studies up on Duke to impress Thomas, but when her own attempts to pique his interest fail, she makes her own connection to Duke and gains a sense of self.
