Kanani wants to help.

She's having a great time raising money to protect
the Hawaiian monk seal by selling shave ice at the
beach. If only she hadn't promised her best friend,
Celina, that they would be surfing buddies. Although
she doesn't want to admit it, Kanani thinks surfing is
a little scary.

When Celina finds another surfing partner,
Kanani finds herself alone- and lonely. She begins
visiting her kindly old neighbour, Tutu Lani, and
realizes that seals aren't the only ones who
need some help. As she searches for a way back
to her best friend, Kanani finds inspiration in an
unexpected place, and discovers where her own
true talents lie.
