Fresh and Exciting

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

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.

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.

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-.

This is by far the best surfing movie I have ever seen. It has a great story and a perfect cast. Jeremy Sumpter and Eric Christian Olsen work GREAT together as brothers.Jeremy Sumpter is a very gifted actor. He is unbelievably talented. This movie is just good,clean entertainment,and we could definately use more movies like this nowadays. > Also,the surfing rocks! Mark Harmon has been a favorite of mine for a couple of years now. I'm not sure I agree with his moustache though. It would've looked better on him if it was shorter on the sides. I love the opening sequence,with Skeet (Jeremy Sumpter) riding his skim board near the shore. Skim boarding is fun to do, and fun to watch!I'm giving it an 11 out of 10! I SERIOUSLY recommend this to any surfing fans,surf movie fans, and anyone who likes great entertainment and hot beaches!
