    Storyline

    • Trivia
      The rainbow behind Kate Bosworth at the end of the competition was real. It was almost edited out because it was too cheesy, but since Hawaii really does have frequent rainbows it was left for authenticity.
    • Goofs
      In an early scene, Anne Marie is brushing her teeth, looking in the mirror. Her eyes are natural: one hazel, one blue. During the surf competition, her eyes are both hazel. On the movie poster, her eyes are blue.
    • Quotes

      Penny: You're going to surf in that?

      Leslie: No, I'm gonna surf in my da-na-da-na

      Penny: Your what?

      [Leslie whips off towel]

      Leslie: Da na da na!

      Penny: You're wearing nut-huggers!

    • Crazy credits
      The end credits showed a montage of people surfing.

    Its a surfing movie... Not Shakespear.
    I don't understandn the reviews people are giving that sound like they expected so much more from this movie. Pretention, I'm guessing. The cast was great. Plenty of laughs. Stunning shots in and out of the water and a happy ending. It certainly isn't the most profound movie, but I'm pretty sure they werent going for that anyways. I like it for a feel good movie. I've watched at least ten times and I still enjoy it for what it is. If i want a riveting storyline I'll watch something other than a surfing movie, duh.
