As someone that grew up in Hawaii, I always love a story set there. This was a true story about the beauty of the island and the preservation of the beauty and the lure of riding the perfect wave. 

We meet Iwa who is passionate about the island and is fighting the develop of more resorts on Maui. She meets Dane through mutual friends and tries to resist dating a haole surfer but their connection is just too irresistible. 

I enjoyed seeing them together and the tension of Iwa wanting to stay on the island to take on the developers while Dane travels the world for the big waves. 

The secondary characters played a great part in the story making me totally homesick.
