He gets interupted by a gang of surfer dudes, and after some verbal exhchange, Johnny starts a fight by shoving his surfboard against one of the thugs. He gets beat up and and strangled, but he gets saved by Bodhi (Patrick Swayze) and ends up giving the thugs a taste of their own medicine. This is Keanu's breakout role.
