After learning that the senior class will be traveling to Costa Rica for a surfing contest, new high-school student Jordan (Corey Sevier) and fellow misfits (Lee Norris, Sisqó) learn how to catch waves from a loopy instructor (Harland Williams). The teens stay in a commune run by a pair of former hippies (Taylor Negron, Diane Delano) while they plot to crash the surfing championships and snatch victory from their snobbish classmates.
