You remember Disney's made-for-TV cinematic classic Johnny Tsunami, right?
Okay, well here's a quick refresher...
It's a story about a Hawaiian surfing prodigy who has the perfect life.
Plus his grandfather is a Hawaiian legend and most likely the coolest dude in the universe.
But his dad is an asshat who tells him surfing isn't a viable career.
Meanwhile, Johnny's dad gets a job opportunity in Vermont and uproots their family to the snowy Northeast...
Where Johnny attends a stuffy private school filled with pretentious skiers (and one babe that totally digs him).
Soon enough Johnny becomes BFFs with a super cool snowboarding bro from the nearby public school named Sam.
Because Johnny's such a natural athlete he learns to snowboard after one important tip...
Then he gets a really cool hat.
Soon enough, Johnny races some smug skier named Brett down the mountain, victoriously breaking the skiing-only mountain rule and allowing snowboarders to use the slopes.
And then Johnny swoops in and steals Brett's girl.
Johnny Tsunami went on to spark our nation's snowboarding craze* and made children of every Disney Channel subscriber want this hat.
Fuck yeah, Johnny Tsunami!
Only, that's NOT Johnny Tsunami...
That's right, the title character in the film is ACTUALLY the uber-cool grandfather.
Our little Hawaiian snowboarding hero was actually named Johnny Kapahaala.
