On his usual pickup route, Shigeru finds a broken surf-board in a pile of garbage. His introduction to the world of surfing. Shigeru fails in his attempt to catch a wave. Takako looks on as the locals heckle the first time surfer. Un-hindered by the world around them, Shigeru and Takako commute to the beach every day. Impressed by Shigeru’s determination, owner of a surf shop hands Shigeru a wet suit and an entry form to a contest. Ironically, Shigeru is disqualified from the contest for missing the announcement. Not to be discouraged, Shigeru’s love for surfing consumes everything around him. He is able to fit in with the local crowd and even finish respectably at the second contest. Summer comes to an end and the cold wind starts to blow between Shigeru and Takako…

参考翻译：
生下来就有听力障碍的Shigeru是卫生服务部门的兼职人员。他的女朋友Takako也有同样的情况。在他通常的取货路线上，Shigeru在一堆垃圾中发现了一块破冲浪板。他对冲浪世界的介绍。Shigeru未能抓住海浪。高子看着当地人质问第一次冲浪的人。在周围世界的阻碍下，Shigeru和Takako每天都要去海滩。一家冲浪店的老板被志古的决心深深打动，递给志古一套潜水服和一份参赛表格。具有讽刺意味的是，Shigeru因错过公告而被取消了比赛资格。不要气馁，Shigeru对冲浪的热爱吞噬了他周围的一切。他能够融入当地的人群，甚至在第二场比赛中取得令人尊敬的成绩。夏天结束了，冷风开始在Shigeru和Takako之间吹来。。。-北野办公室
