Story

Stick An 8 year-old Chinese boy, Li MuRong, is walking along the beach on his way home from school in costal city of Sanya on Hainan Island, when sees a vision that stops him dead in his tracks. This young boy is truly mesmerized by what he sees. As the setting sun’s sparkling light dances among the waves he sees a man in a “standing” positon moving along the inside of a large wave. The man’s feet are pressed together, his arms streached out wide, his head tilted back which helps his long, glistening, gold colored hair trail behind him in the wind as he faces the heavens with a grand and joyful smile. It looks like he is literally “flying” through the air. This is “Surfer Joe”, a lone American surfer whose life has been simplified down to a single task: that has been simplified down to a single task: that of finding uninhabited beaches in which to surf. As the waves crashes over the back of the surfboard Joe is performing the ultimate maneuver, “Hanging Ten”. To him this is just one of a million tricks on one of a thousand beaches he will visit in his life. To Li, it is far more.

From that day on, the man with long golden hair riding the magical board will be the only thing he thinks about. That image will possess his mind and spirit and become the dominating force in his life. He didn’t know it then, but that was the day he became a “surfer” who would some day compete for the title of the “Best Surfer in the World”.
