Synopsis

Nothing gets between Anne Marie (Kate Bosworth) and her board. Living in a beach shack with three roommates Eden (Michelle Rodriguez), Lena (Sanoe Lake) and her rebellious younger sister Penny (Mika Boorem), she is up before dawn every morning to conquer the waves and count the days until the Rip Masters surf competition. The friends eke out a living by working as maids in a luxury resort hotel, which helps pay the bills as well as allowing them to keep their focus on the water.

Having transplanted herself to Hawaii with no one's blessing but her own, Anne Marie finds all she needs in the adrenaline-charged surf scene ... until pro quarterback Matt Tollman (Matthew Davis) comes along. Like it or not, Anne Marie starts losing her balance - and finding it - as she falls for Matt.

Crafted by filmmakers dedicated to the sport, BLUE CRUSH brings together world-class surfers in front of the camera and behind-the-scenes, and features some of the best sequences of women surfing ever captured on film.
