AN ARIZONA SURFER COMES TO OAHU, MEETS A BOARD SHAPER, FINDS AGIRLFRIEND AND RIDES EPIC WAVES.
The dialogue is laughable, and the plot is by the numbers. But if you're a surfer (or an armchair surfer), this ultra-silly movie may prove hard to resist. It's the one about the kid from Arizona (Matt Adler), who's surfed only on artificial waves in that landlocked state, coming out to spend his last free summer hitting the serious water of Hawaii. He falls in with a mystical surf guru (Gregory Harrison), one of those surf-Zen masters obsessed with the cosmic significance of hanging ten, but he's also tempted by the flashier stunts of the younger surf crowd. Oh, and the Arizona kid also gets romantic with the prettiest girl on Oahu (Nia Peeples), which precipitates trouble with her resentful native family. If the story's no winner, the surfing action is excellent, with many real-life surfers contributing their talents. For shredders, a guilty pleasure. — Robert Horton

- Quotes from this movie are golden! Definately a 'B' movie but it is a great 'B' movie. Cheezy and week but entertaining and fun. It grows on you so watch it more than once. Possibly learn a few new terms and watch some great surfing. Laird Hamilton and Gerry Lopez can be seen in unpredictable roles. And Turtle, you gotta luv… More reviews
- A cult classic
- O.K. so it's a goofy unrealistic surf movie. If you're looking for serious don't bother. But if you're looking for fun, cheesy, & over the top this is your movie. I know several surfers & we love to laugh at this one and always baulk at those who haven't seen it & force them into a chair. Heck it has Occy in it! A great cult classic in my circle… More reviews
- 80's Surf tuff enough
- I saw this movie a couple of times growing up and liked it. I have to admit i was really excited when i found it on dvd and a little nervous about the acting from the 80's. This movie is GREAT and totally what i expected! It is really good to watch it all come together for the little Howlly boy from AZ. The surfing is great in this… More reviews
