Sinopsis Surf This Love Gelora Juara
Billy (20s) works with his sister, Siti (30s) as a tour guide on Tioman Island. Since childhood, Billy has been passionate about surfing because he was inspired by the memory of his late brother Bobby, who was a famous surfing champion. Besides Bobby, Mike Malaya (30s) and Jimmy (30s), who were also friends of his late brother, are also skilled in surfing and have become Billy's idols. Although obsessed with surfing since he was 12 years old until now, Billy has never truly become skilled and proficient at handling a surfboard and waves. His progress in this sport was halted when his late brother Bobby died in a surfing competition in Bali.

The impact of his leg injury and Bobby's death has left Jimmy 'heartbroken' about surfing. Mike Malaya, since Bobby's death, has traveled around the world participating in surfing competitions.
