When the movie attempts to tell a story on land, you might want to bring along a flashlight and a magazine.

Proves to indeed be the formulaic bore it appears to be, however nicely dressed up (or undressed, depending on one's perspective) it is.

Stockwell has made half of a good movie. Now he needs to figure out how to craft a film with words worthy of the beauty of its images.

Apesar de um ou outro diálogo se render ao clichê do “vença-seus-medos!”, o filme é bem realizado, conta com protagonistas carismáticas e transforma o surfe em um esporte com incrível apelo cinematográfico.
