Cast

Tyler Byrd: John C. Ierardi

Tyler "Surfing's Lost Golden Boy", Tyler was once a pro surfer in the teen division who disappeared from the scene after the untimely death of his father. Upon his return to competitive surfing 4 years later, he finds that the industry has changed drastically in his absence and he enters a world he no longer understands. Although he is still a recognizable face to the industry, he battles personal let downs and faces difficulty finding his identity and place while re-making a name for himself amongst the companies and fans he grew up with. Determined to re-establish himself at all costs, He will be caught directly between the easy going pure surf life he loves and the big "Hollywood" business it has become. As Tyler rises through the ranks, his relationships and convictions will be tested.

Daniel Krone: Zachary Block

Tyler's best friend and the older brother character of the group. Dan is the voice of reason as he has already "Been there, Done That."

He is forced to re-evaluate what the sport means to him while still being a mentor to his friends. He must come to terms with the possibility that he may never surf again professionally and where that will lead him.

Vanessa: Amy Paffrath-Seeley

Bob's assistant at the surf shop. A hang loose, athletic girl who moved to the beach to embrace the surf culture and lifestyle while continuing an education in Marine Biology. Meant for bigger things than the surf shop, yet very much at peace with the simplicity and good nature of those she surrounds herself with. She's grounded and insightful with a very down to earth attitude. While not really a surfer, she can easily hang, and Vanessa and her friends frequently rock climb in Joshua Tree State Park. As Tyler's love interest, she handles constant competition from other girls with class and rivals his confidence.

Lucas Haller: Machi Block

The tag along, heart of gold, all-American kid.

He is a Jack of Far Too Many Trades, but he has the ability to surprise everyone when least expected and is quickly becoming a talented. He is also the group's inside connection to parties, prominent people, and all things subculture.

Zoesch: Darrel Cherney

The surfer dude frat boy of the group. Zoesch's hippie-esque mannerisms, overly competitive personality and party boy attitude adds constant fun and drama through the story.

Kelly: Erica Renee Davis

One of Vanessa's best friends. An active and outdoorsy girl, who enjoys rock climbing and camping and can easily hang with the guys while maintaining a soft side.
