better run through

the jungle

better run

through the jungle

whoa, don't look back

to see...

You boys know the fine for

pilfering another man's crayfish?

It's 10 bucks...

Per cray.

How many you got?

That's 20 bucks

right there, mate.

Honestly,

we're really sorry, mate.

Yeah, well, you will be

if the owner ever catches you.

I can't believe you get

away with living like this.

Who's gonna stop me?

I don't know.

Movin' around all the time...

...taking surf photographs,...

...not knowing where you're gonna

be one day to the next?

Doesn't seem like a job, right?

It's not.

It's not a job.

Look, I surf

and I get to document it.

If some idiot wants

to put diesel in my bus...

...and buy me a plane ticket,

sweet, but it's not a job.

Hey.

Just don't tell anyone.

G'day.

- Hey.

- Where'd you come from?

I was surfing that little

left-hander off the point.

What's that called again?

- Um, lefties.

- Of course.

So let me guess. What,

Southern California, right?

Malibu?

Hawaii, west coast of oahu.

So what happened? You get sick

of warm water and perfect waves?

- Something like that.

- Huh.

How long you and your

boyfriend in town for?

J.B.'S not my boyfriend.

He's my dad's friend.

Uh, dad wasn't too stoked

with the boys...

I was hanging out with

on the island,...

...so he asked j.B. If I could

tag along for a few months.

Figured it might

straighten me out.

What, he actually thought hanging with j.B.

Might straighten you out?

- Should have seen the other boys.

- Which other boys?

Jimmy Kelly.

Hey, I'm lani.

- Yes, you are.

- Oh.

Look, I don't know how long

you guys are around for,...

...but if you ever want to check

out some of the local breaks,

I'd be happy

to show youse around.

- Sounds good. Thanks.

- And once you've done the tourist trap,

I'll show you a few spots

even he doesn't know about.

Is that right, superstar?

Yeah, well,

I'd take you too, mate,...

...but it's a bit heavy

for beginners.

Oh, turn it up, mate.

There you go-- it does work.

Okay, uh, there you go.

Thanks, man.

- These all yours?

- Yeah.

Sh*t.

Where haven't you surfed?

Grajagan's.

It's a real fast left-hander.

Sucks real dry,

bowls you real big.

Yeah, only a handful

have ever surfed there.

Yeah, some American cat--

he found it.

Don't know how,

'cause it's right there...

...in the jungles of Indonesia.

Filled with scorpions,

tigers, monkeys,...

...other crazy sh*t.

Wow, sounds like a total

mission just to get there.

Yeah, well, the best ones

usually are, mate.

That's the trip

right there, man.

If God surfed,

that would be his home break.

That is exactly

what she was wearing, man.
