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!

I guess what made the movie so intense was the fact that Skeet had an Anxiety Disorder. Overall, I thought that the plot was good. I lowered my opinion a bit because of the cussing, but other than that, I loved it. My favorite part would have to be the part when Skeet first tries his new board. It was funny in a humiliating way. I liked how the actors new what they were doing. It's just neat to see a movie where that actor know how to act. Eric Christian Olsen, Mark Harmon, and Jeremy Sumpter portrayed the characters wonderfully. It was great to see how Jessica and Jim kind of liked each other, and then Jim suddenly disappeared. I was, however, surprised to see how Randy reacted to Jim.

Great coming of age on the beach surfing movie, the usual ups and downs of male teens and growing up. Troubled little brother has a mentor who is a famous surfer. Excellent movie.

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.

Every minute is important in this movie! Hit the pause button when you need to go to the bathroom, because every moment counts here! Of course there is a lot of cool surfing action, but that is not all this movie is about! It is about family, emotion and standing up for what is right! If you like "Searching For Bobby Fischer" you should like this one as well! Not to mention (or should I??)--> The sound track is perfect!
