It was entertaining enough for kids, but nothing special. A Disney version of an extreme sports video.
Decent for Disney Channel. Nostalgic for 95’-00’ kids
A ridiculous but heartfelt Disney channel original that has merit for nostalgia purposes only.
V nostalgic if you liked it as a kid but it’s a typical DCOM - kinda crunchy acting/writing & nothing really memorable except the title tbh
One of my favorites when I was younger. The 90s DCOMs hit different.
It’s not bad but like… these movies were basically all the same lol, at least this one had a cool setting
One of the good DCOMs from this era. The best Johnny tsunami movie by far.
The story is predictable, but the vibes are strong, and the message about staying true to yourself still hits.
Dreadful, even compared to the standards of other Disney channel originals. Super tough watch
The plot was too basic and predictable even for kids movie.

A Hawaiian teenage surfer shows off his skills when he takes to the snow slopes in Vermont.
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" (the 12-year-old son of his new step-grandmother) who resents the upcoming marriage. Chris's 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 their business down.
