The story centers on the Yost's, a famous surfing family in Southern California. Mitch, the pater familius, is a surfing legend from the 70's who has become a recluse. His son, Butchie, was a famous surfer in the 80's/90's but became a junkie. Shaunie, Butchie's son, is a future star.

The hook is John. He's this weird college preppy looking guy who shows up out of nowhere in Episode 1. He could be anything. The second coming of Christ, an alien, who knows. He repeats everything that is said to him as if he's giving you a message, but he also repeats things he's heard before at sometimes odd and sometimes poignant times, and he also appears to have the ability to heal and read minds. Mitch's levitating never happened prior to meeting John.

If you have HBO, watch it.
.. Butchie's mom( Rebecca De Mornay ) taught him how to spank the monkey ..




.. Forgot that part ..
