It’s a good show for those who want something fun and hopeful to watch, especially for young adults. Go to Full Review Jason Flatt But Why Tho? A Geek Community 01/14/2023
8.5/10
Surviving Summer is a strong start to the season with its great YA character development. The plot is somewhat of an afterthought in viewing at times and there are a few eye-rolling elements, but as a whole, very fun. Go to Full Review Mel Campbell ScreenHub 08/29/2022
Best understood as Dance Academy for surfing … a straightforward YA melodrama that can be binged like fish-and-chips on the beach. Go to Full Review Stephanie Morgan Common Sense Media 06/09/2022
3/5
The gorgeous setting, upbeat soundtrack, and stunning surfing shots make this a series that will immediately pull in the viewer. Unfortunately, there's not a lot of reason to stick around once the visual impact of Surviving Summer begins to fade. Go to Full Review Joel Keller Decider 06/06/2022
With characters that have a little bit of depth and some stunning scenery, Surviving Summer is a fun watch for both kids and adults. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Kaya W @RT48339306 Apr 23 the story was good for a teen drama, but i did feel like there was holes in summer making friends and getting good at surfing. Also i found summer to actually be quite unlikable, because she didnt really care about much.... but the whole vibe was nice and also showed how its like to be young and competing in just any sport.
