Johnny Kapahala, a teen snowboarding champion from Vermont, returns to Oahu, Hawaii for the wedding of his hero--his grandfather, local surf legend Johnny Tsunami--and to catch a few famous Kauai waves. When Johnny arrives, he meets his new family including "Uncle Chris", his new stepgrandmother's 12-year-old son, who resents the upcoming marriage and whose only interest is to join a mountain-boarding crew led by a teenage bully. When Johnny's grandfather and his new wife open a surf shop that also caters to mountain boarders, they are soon embroiled in a turf war with a rival shop-owner who wants to shut down their business. Chris' antics cause complications for the store-opening and the wedding, but eventually he reaches out to Johnny, who helps him find his place within the new family and settle the dueling sports-shops' turf war.

"The Formula" is the story of Quinn (Baker) and Graham (played by Iowa Native Mike Schminke), two engineering students who discover a mathematical formula to pick up women with ease. Quinn is a hopeless romantic who falls head over heels for a young student teacher. Graham is a chauvinistic womanizer who thinks the key to finding the woman of his dreams is by wooing as many as possible. As "The Formula" follows Quinn and Graham from one date to the next, they discover that there is no shortcut to finding true love.
