In 2034, a deadly virus has wiped out a lot of the global population. In the rush to save humanity, Dr John Fig fast-tracks an experimental vaccine that becomes mandatory in every country around the world. The vaccine works, however, the injection instantly erases the ability to surf and any memory of surfing altogether.... With no idea what they're supposed to be doing with their lives, the world's best surfers aimlessly wander off into what's left of society. Now, it's up to the Surf God Hughie to pull together a team of former greats who dominated the riding of ocean waves, in a last ditch effort to save surfing. Can this bunch of forgotten outcasts work together to create the Greatest Surf Movie in the Universe, triggering the population's memories of mondo-tubes, full-rail carves and giant rotating airs? Or are we destined to become a pack of horrendously strook land-lubbing kooks?
