Trivia:
As seen on the most recent DVD release of the film, originally the role of Kiani was played by another actress. However when she didn't work out they brought in Nia Peeples to re-shoot all her scenes. The film's original ending can be seen in the special features of the DVD. moreGoofs:
Factual errors: When Rick picks up Kiani at the party, it is night time. Almost immediately after the couple leaves, it is day time. This is the part of the movie where Kiani shows Rick her true home. moreQuotes:

This movie is so bad, that it hilarious and has become a cult classic because of it. Let's think about the story... a boy from Arizona that wins a surfing contest in a wave pool (a few feet high) then goes to Hawaii to surf the North Shore. Have a few drinks and sit back and watch it. If you like surfing, partying and/or Hawaii, you will probably enjoy this movie.
