Although Nalu Tanaka, Masakis best friend and a half-Hawaiian, enjoys surfing, Masaki hasn't shown any interest in it himself. However, after witnessing Shous impressive surfing style, Masaki decides to give it a try-even though he doesn't know how to swim. On his first attempt on the surfboard, Masaki demonstrates surprising balance and talent. With encouragement from Shou and Tanaka, Masaki enters a local competition and eventually becomes proficient in surfing.
