Aug 13, 2011 this was fantastic! i love all the characters: skeet, jim wesley, randy. it was touching and i liked the story. i think it would have been just as good if they didn't have all the cussing. See more Dec 19, 2009 Not bad little film with decent performances, too many pointless side stories detracts from the overall effectiveness of the main narrative. See more Jun 5, 2009 A great surfing movie. Mark Harmon play the part of Jim Wesley (legendary surfer) very well. This movie makes me want to go and surf (in the middle of winter). An emotional movie aswell. See more May 28, 2009 Good one, a lot of friendship going on! See more Jan 24, 2009 A good movie with some nice surfing added too.
