What The Cast Of Blue Crush Looks Like Today

Sanoe Lake was the only actor of the four main women cast in "Blue Crush" that knew how to surf, and she was also born in Hawaii. In an interview at the Oceanside International Film Festival in 2022, Lake shares how she started surfing. "Well, I started when I was 5. Both my parents were surfers ... when you grow up with parents that surf, just by default, you end up at the beach every single day. You eventually take a boogie board or surfboard out" (via YouTube). Prior to starring in "Blue Crush" as Lena, Lake had no prior acting experience. In a 2020 reunion special shared on Kate Bosworth's YouTube channel, Lake talks about her experience. "Originally, I read for the role Michelle played, Eden. Lena wasn't developed. So it was nice, they kind of met me in the middle on that, where they're like 'You know, just fly off the cuff on some of this, we don't have her all the way written,' So it gave me a lot of freedom to bring some authenticity," she said (via YouTube).

Since playing the role of Lena, Lake starred in three other films, including "Rolling," "Half-Life," and "Creature of Darkness." Now, Lake is married with two children and she and her husband own a Hawaiian restaurant called Tropicali, located in Big Bear Lake, CA. Apparently, the restaurant is a huge success and was ranked the best restaurant in California in 2022, according to Sunset.
