Plot summary

On Skeet’s twelfth birthday his older brother Randy buys him his first surfboard. Suddenly his summer turns to the endless search for the perfect wave, wild times and beach parties and eventually, finding his own daring adventures when Randy’s attention turns to a girl. Beyond his wildest dreams, Skeet is taken under the wings of surfing legend Jim Wesley who gives Skeet first-hand lessons in hot-dogging. Meanwhile, Randy, still dealing with the loss of his father and trying to fill his shoes, is jealous of Jim’s influence on Skeet and isn’t thrilled when Jim begins a relationship with their single mom. Tangled by the conflict between his brother and his newfound father figure, Skeet retreats to his room while longing to surf.

let's go surfing

Mark harmon is Jim, surfer dude. He was already 50 by now, but he shows the Dobson brothers (Eric Olden and Jeremy Sumpter) the moves. Except the older brother never seems to keep an eye on the younger squid; first it's Jim helping him, then it's the asian guy. And mom ( Stacy Edwards) is only 12 years older than her son Randy ( Eric Olsen)... how bizarre. Some bad acting here. A litlle cool wave riding. There's going to be a show down with the rough dudes at some point. Pretty lame script... it needed fixing up. It's just barely okay. Directed by ron moler. One of the two films he directed. But he was the producer of Bachelor Party with tom hanks - that was a righteous movie indeed. Story by Norman Bradley and Thomas Stewart .

SUMMER SURF TEEN DRAMA

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.

Top of the line Action / Drama!

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!
