A surfing safari down the coast of California, a few shocking and rather unpleasant secrets, and four inevitable relationships that seem doomed to fail - this is where six salt-encrusted, surf-stoked teenagers find themselves as they rocket down PCH in a beat-up Volkswagen surf van. Alana Walker was born and bred in the waters of Ventura, CA. She's known as the best surfer at C Street and has a heart for God. Cole Anderson, on the other hand, hates anything that has to do with church and loathes being second-best to a girl, especially when that girl is Alana. So when these two get stuck on a month-long surfing safari, they find that their relationships - and more importantly, their faith - is about to be compromised. However, the old saying still rings true: opposites do attract. [ adventure #3 ] SEQUEL: CAUGHT INSIDE
