In Waves (1970)

AJ, a shy teenag­er, meets Kris­ten while in high school in Los Ange­les. Kris­ten is pas­sion­ate about surf­ing… and she’s the most beau­ti­ful per­son he’s ever met. He falls mad­ly in love with her. As life seems to final­ly come togeth­er for AJ, Kristen’s life starts falling apart, shat­tered by ill­ness. Togeth­er, they will fight adver­si­ty with dig­ni­ty and enjoy their now-shared pas­sion for surf­ing and for the ocean, but also their loy­al band of friends… even when they know Kris­ten is doomed. This is what hap­pens when love and friend­ship become a wave stronger than anything.
