Hawaiian: The Legend of Eddie Aikau

Since this is an ESPN film, I thought it would be strictly about surfing, but it is not. It's actually a well-balanced documentary that covers both Eddie Aikau's surfing life and his personal life. In addition, there is much surfing and Hawaiian history in it. Mr. Aikau quit school at the age of 16 to get a job, so he could focus more on surfing. He went on to become a surfing and lifeguard legend in his own time, at least in Hawaii.

What happened to Eddie Aikau on that last day when he went for help? I like to think he became exhausted, could paddle no more, went to sleep on his surfboard, and woke up to see a beautiful beach in front of him, where his late brother was waving to him to come ashore.
