| User ReviewEvonne IExcellent Movie!!! Love this flick. One of my all time favourites. Even the baddies aren't too bad!!! |
| User ReviewChristieNot exactly brilliant filmmaking, but I have a real soft spot for this movie. It's basically a Beach Party movie, but with a cooler cast and trying to be realistic (or the early 60s/Donna Reed version of realistic). You gotta love watching a young Shelley Fabares, a pre-I Dream of Jeannie Barbara Eden, Tab Hunter, Peter Brown, and Robert Mitchum's oldest son James Mitchum (who looks just like his dad) as surfing champ Eskimo Dobbs. I also love seeing the 1960s North Shore location footage (site of future surfing films The North Shore, Blue Crush, and Step Into Liquid) which also happening to be one of my favorite vacation spots. Love it! |
| User Reviewdan bWow a surf movie that's actually about surfin', of course romantic subplots are thrown in for good measure not to mention it stars the ever dreamy Fabian and a pretty good theme song by Jan and Dean. It's a little rough around the edges and unintentionally funny at times but holds its own as far as surf movies go. |
| User Reviewjay nPretty people only go so far, eventually some acting is required which seems beyond the good looking cast in this. The ocean looks beautiful though. |
| User ReviewGregory WEnergetic but pretty bland B-movie. The characters are dull, the plot flimsy, and there are only slight touches of the kitschy weirdness you sometimes find in these movies. If you're looking for entertaining camp, this one's nothing special. |
| User ReviewKristal CBasically, I'm going to give this movie one star because the boys are cute. |
