    no soulfly..
    there is another
    (cue yoda moment..)

    NORTHSHORE!!!!!!!

    c'mon..can't believe some of you folks didn't mention this one..

    possibly one of the greatest 'summer' movies of all time.
    about a young guy ( a graphic design student) that leaves the mainland after winning a surf contest in wave pool, to go to hawaii to compete at the pipeline classic at North Shore..

    it's like Karate Kid, but with surfing.
    and they play a Killing Joke song in the soundtrack..how cool is that man?!!!

    along the way he meets a variety of cool and intersting people...
    one being his mentor, a guy that designs surfboards (a shaper)
    anyhow, the hero of the story pays for room and board by designing a new logo for him (which was pretty inspirational to me when i was bout 16 and first saw this movie..)

    a must see, and now available on DVD..
