Surfer, Dude tells the story of Steve Attington, played by Matthew McConaghey, a soul-surfer, who returns to his hometown, Malibu, only to find it tainted by new age technology. Attington rejects virtual reality video games and reality television sponsorship offers, instead choosing to take the moral high ground and surf for the fun of it. One day, while out on the surf, the waves suddenly stop and stay that way, a worst nightmare for any surfer. The wave drought causes Attington to lose his big sponsorship deals, forcing him to either give in to the virtual reality world or wait around for the waves to come. Also starring Woody Harrelson, Scott Glenn, Willie Nelson, and Alexie Gilmore. The Pride caught up with Surfer, Dude director S.R. Bindler and Matthew McCo- naghey at a press junket at the Hard Rock Hotel in San Diego.
