Blue Water High (2005–2008) User Reviews

WORTH A WATCH, ESPECIALLY IG YOU'RE A TEENAGER!

[philstrachan · 7/10 · 17 October 2022]

This was well made. Following the lives of teenage surfers in a exclusive surf school on the wealthy north shore of Sydney, Australia.

The actors do a very good job and their character development through each series is good. Well written, covering all the basic teenage dilemmas set in a surfing portal. Beautiful scenery and nice nothern Sydney beaches. It's ittle obvious during the surfing scenes that body doubles were used but the editing is really good to hide this as much as possible, as well of compliing all the other shots. The actors settle into their characters and each series progresses and give they gove worthy peformances.

Great show

I loved most of the episodes of Blue Water High and I've loved all episodes of season 1. It's a great show to watch for teenagers and even adults. It's a fun, interesting and quick watch if you just want to chill. All the episodes aren't too intense and it's just great to follow these kids along during their school year.

But I do want to say that season 2 felt like a copy of season 1, and season 3 was definitely a copy. I didn't mind it as they did add some twists, but in the end I enjoyed season 1 the most and I would re-watch Blue Water High again, that's for sure.

It felt like the further you got into the series the less surfing you saw. And also, it's very noticeable that they hired different actors to do the surfing, but that's okay, you can't forget it was the early 2000's. I also don't get why they called the show 'Blue Water High'; I get that it sounds good, but Blue Water High was the highschool these kids attended besides SolarBlue and you don't see that much about the school. It's about the opportunity SolarBlue gives them and the house they live in during this year, so it would have been more logical to call the show SolarBlue.

Great show Blue Water High

I think it is great that young Aussie kids are getting exposure to developing their acting skills. What better way to exploit the talent in a positive way and have young children get the feel of how good they are and how they can get better at what they do and so boost Australian drama. An injection of the ability of young up and coming actors is what we need right now. Any aid or enthusiasm directed at young actors should be embraced. Thumbs up to the carers of Blue Water High. I look forward to the next series. I hope there is one. The success of the past series should be a clear indication that it should continue. It is also exciting to see that it is shown overseas.Great stuff.

Loved every episode of Blue Water High

[neuroepidr · 10/10 · 20 July 2022]

As a surfer, I loved Blue Water High. The first two seasons were my favorite, because the first few episodes of season three, I did not like how it was written and the Blue Water staff actors. But overall, at the end, those actors did a fantastic job. I am glad I watched every episode. If you have been to private camps, even college, graduate school or retreats, it is something your moment experiencing that environment is a characteristic of your life, from, fun, hard work, crushes, and learning of yourself. Blue Water High did a great job mirroring this. I wish there were more episodes, or a feature film. Hint, hint!

Blue Water High!!

[tbirdrose1999 · 9/10 · 14 June 2012]

I love the show Blue Water High! It is one of my favorite shows. I was so upset when the show ended! =( I loved every single character/actor on the show. The pictures are amazing, the camera get right up the the surfers faces while they're surfing. It is so cool!! i have to say I think season 1 is my favorite. If you have not watched it you really need to. Blue Water High is full of drama and suspense and action, it's just unbelievable. Every season you meet new people but some of the old characters come back.The final at the end of every season are amazing, the surfers are so good. Once you watch this show you won't want to stop. I love it so much. I'm really sad it ended.

Deceptive amount of stars

[henryvic-38456 · 5/10 · 20 April 2023]

Australian writers are truly the best in the world. They seem to truly know the human psyche. It's no wonder their soap operas have lasted longer than any in the world. Of course this is not a soap opera but the writing still stands. I'm sure these actors consider this a true proving ground for a career around the world in acting, and I can almost assume, that some of the actors that felt they were graduating into American television and movies, may have found out they made a mistake. I know for a fact some actors who came to America, turned around and went back to Australia. I don't know the reason for certain but I can pretty much guess I might be right and I just described it. Yes this is another teen show. Which is probably something I would not say if I were from Australia. The writing really seems to matter here. That's the best I can say. They manage something big. What seem to be looking like apartheid, in season 1, went like whiplash, turning into the University of diversity in season 3. Now they still seem to be a part of that training involving one black actor and the rest of the cast being white. That's not a good thing. But even with that, they managed to feature the black characters in a way that America seems to have a problem. In fact, never subscribe to one black and the rest white because that's not the way the world really looks, I credit them for how they handled the writing in this series. So five stars for the writing, and acting, and five no stars, for still adhering to the big ratio. But in this series, they did so good, that it's fitting. But this outlier shall not be the rule. If it were for the writing alone, this would get 10 Stars.

blue water high rocks

[Victoire_The_Veela · 10/10 · 15 December 2006]

blue water high is about 7 kids who win a contract to stay at the solar blue surf academy and have the chance to win one of two spots on the world circuit. The students in the first season are Fly, Perri, Bec, Anna, Matt, Edge and heath. The coaches are Deb and Craig Simmonds (Simmo) and Jilly is the housekeeper.

In the second season however there are only 6 students Amy, Rachel, Brooke, Eric, Mike and Corey.

An overall amazing TV drama show. One boy and one girl win each year. The girl winner from series one defers her spot on the tour for a year and helps out at the academy as assistant coach.

Absolute banger

[simonfeduniw · 14 March 2018]

Blue Water High is an absolute banger of a show about a lit group of mates and this one german chick who all love to surf and chill.

A bunch of teenagers go to surf school

[atomius · 19 July 2005]

The plot of this show is basically all about a group of seven teenagers who have won a kind of scholarship to learn advanced surfing. Two of them, at the end of a one year contract will be able to become youth representatives of Solarblue Co., a company that designers surfing clothes. they will also be able to go onto a world circuit surfing competition. the characters all find out things about themselves and others and learn how to cooperate using there favourite skills. they learn about responsibilities, and most of all, the northern beaches. All in all it is a well made drama, and since i am a drama hater myself, it's fairly obvious the show is worth a few medals here and there. one thing i was disappointed about though is that the whole show is set on the beaches near the school. it would be nice to have some variation now and then. The overall show should be given at least a 5/10, probably a 7 or 8 for surfing fans or people of the age group in which the main characters are. Acting is very good,and so i would suggest this show to anyone who likes going to the beach or people who are into recreation and enjoyment.
