synopsis
Life for Anne Marie has been one long Pipe dream. She's about to make that dream a reality if she can keep from drowning in her own fear. As the clock ticks down to the Pipe Masters surf competition on the North Shore of Oahu, more is at stake for Anne Marie than the pressure of competing in one of the world's most dangerous, aggressive and male-dominated sports. She must first win a dreaded contest within. Sharing a beach shack with her best friends Eden and Lena, and her rebellious younger sister Penny, Anne Marie lives for the adrenaline-charged surf scene, rising before dawn every day to charge the Pipeline's deadly waves. The friends eke out a living as maids in a luxury resort hotel. The humble job pays the bills and lets them keep their focus on the water. But things change when a pro football team with slovenly habits and fat wallets checks in. Like it or not, Anne Marie starts losing her balance--and finding it--as she falls for quarterback Matt Tollman. Suddenly there are options: trophy wife or trophy winner? But there's really only one choice for someone like Anne Marie. Matt knows it, too--that's why he likes her. And when Anne Marie faces a paralyzing moment of truth on the biggest day of her life, Matt is there along with Lena, Eden and Penny, to help her remember why the goal that has driven her for so long matters so much.

Her drunken mother took off to Las Vegas with some schmuck, leaving her to raise Penny all by herself, so she and her friends eke out a living working as maids in a posh resort hotel.

You're hot for this DVD because of the special features on the history and terminology of surfing. Yeah, right. If you want to watch Blue Crush to leer at the beach babes in Hawaii, go for it. As the film's blond (of course) board queen, Kate Bosworth looks great competing on Oahu's treacherous Bonzai Pipeline, even if stunt people (including a stunt guy) do the dangerous stuff. Our heroine is raising her hellion kid sister (Mika Boorem) and feuding with her roomies (Michelle Rodriguez and Sanoe… Continued
