It’s the tale of a haole from Arizona named Rick Kane, who wins an event in a wave pool and with it a chance to buy a ticket to Hawaii.
Once there he runs into all his favourite pro surfers, gets tutored by a North Shore legend, and if it wasn’t for Laird Hamilton’s character cheating, he would have been a Pipe Master.
Pure Cheese: The 1987 North Shore Trailer
Sounds like a standard cheesy Hollywood take on surfing gone very wrong, and it is, but it’s so wrong it is right.

Most surfers have seen the movie and can repeat classic lines like they said it themselves. But now, lead by Turtle, the shaper in the original, there is a campaign to make North Shore 2.
The pitch for the sequel
Is this taking things too far? Surely pro surfers like Occy and Laird Hamilton reached their acting limits in the first one, they have nothing else to give do they?
Well watch the pitch, catch up on a couple of lines and pray it doesn’t happen, you can’t beat the first one can you? But then again who doesn’t want to see John John Florence and Jamie O’Brien acting? http://www.iwantmynorthshore2.com>Check out the website and get involved if you want to.
