I've seen it eight times, a true surfer classic, true!, 10 February 2001
10/10
Author: Eris Perista (erisprods@cs.com) from Santa Monica

My kid bro and me have watched it many times, and we love the dialogue and the surfer speak, and the lingo Turtle speaks. We spent two winters in Haliewa and know that it is a true -- if occassionally exagerrated -- mirror of the life there. And I've never ever seen better rides on film. "Occy" and Jerry Lopez are always great, and Laird Hamilton -- what a hunk!
