Professional surfer David Monroe thinks he’s riding the height of his fame as the world’s most decorated surfing champion. He juggles agents, endorsements, and showers of affection from fans and adoring girls wherever he travels. However, when he is knocked out underwater during a competition, David awakes to an earlier era, 1911 Waikiki, after being rescued by legendary surfing figure Duke Kahanamoku. Stripped of all modern surfing habits, David is forced to learn the fundamentals of surfing from a master as he begins to appreciate the natural beauty of an untrammeled landscape. The Ride is a journey back through time that masterfully recreates the look and feel of early 20th Century Hawaii, its people and culture. -Suevon Lee 2003 Hawaii International Film Festival -Audience Award for
