While preparing for a regional spring surfing tournament, Rae runs into a crowd of local boys who insist the female competitions are child's play compared to the male contests, which are 'the real deal'.

Rae is determined than ever to prove them wrong, but how can she if there's no way she'll ever be able to compete against them in the males-only tournament! Or is there . . .
