Interesteg What makes it different from others?

Rio Hayward All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Yash Wade Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

fannyvanelewijck Yes we need more movies like this. Great acting, beautiful actors. Sun,sea,sand,surf...a beautiful story,what more do you need? I recently discovered this movie while researching Mark Harmon(Ihope Dave the dog is alright). I was able to watch the movie via streaming, the great story compensated the low resolution.

azayas-66828 Very predictable teen coming of age film. Borrows heavily from films like it before. Only this one is in the Surfing World. Dealing with life unfortunate events. Acting besides Harmon and Olsem was mediocre at best. However while not great Sumpter showed enough to secure himself future roles. Olsen GF plot seemed like a after thought an really her role was negligible. It was never really expanded on much. Other than to fill yet another predicable plot moment. Perhaps they meant to go another direction then a script change was introduced later on. Some cool surfing scenes This was a direct to DVD movie and it shows.Still not a bad movie just not that great.Olsen supporting cast his buddies performances where spotty. Them only had bit parts and were just used as fillers. Overall its just a average film at best. If its on the budget rack and you need something to watch i guess it will do. I caught it on network TV myself.

hbsnake1 I enjoyed this movie and yes, I'm a real surfer who is widely known in the surfing world. I'm not a movie critic and really don't care that there some minor mistakes, the theme itself made up for the problems. This film reminded me of many trips, surf sessions, and other things we used to do. I still drive groms to the beach, give them hints, help them along, and yes I've even given a few boards away. Don't think it doesn't happen as it happens all the time. Ask Chuck Linnen about how many groms he's taken under his wing over the years. Some became US and even world champions.Some may find fault with how surfers bargain for boards in the movie. Sorry but Dick Dale reminded me of my mentor Dale Velzy selling boards in Huntington Beach back in the early 60s.

dory215 altogether i think that this movie was pretty good. but at the same time it had its high and low parts. i enjoyed it when skeet (jeremy sumpter) found the new board where he buried his other one because the look on his face was just pure joy. but i didnt understand why wesly (mark harmon) left. because everything was going just fine. it was one of the best movies about surfers!! altogether id give this move an A-.
