Surf's up.
It was not a easy life for Carol who had 2 girls, Mindy and Ginger at a young age. Carol was a surfer in her 20s and was in Hawaii already married. She didn't want a life with her husband who left her and just wanted the good life as a surfer in Hawaii.
Mindy is the oldest who had a good head on her shoulders and Ginger, who was two years younger and sort of reliant on Mindy and sort of flaky I guess you can say, getting into a cult with her boyfriend and living like a vagrant. Mindy had her life as a surfer like her mom and then as an actress which she left behind in her 20s. Their mom wasn't really there for them and they lead independent lives without her. It was sort of sad really. They lost touch with each other, the girls going their separate ways like I said above and with their mother.
What an ending.… (altro)
