    • Synopsis
    • Len is a surfing legend in the community. When the younger, faster, fitter Phil arrives, Len’s status starts to crumble. Then Len sees Phil arriving in the company of another man; a man Phil gives a farewell kiss to. Phil is gay. Over the summer season, Len starts to form unexpected, confusing feelings for Phil. When Phil beats Len at the annual surf competition, Len and his buddy Meat take Phil out on an intoxicated and dangerous night out through the seedy city.
