Wissenswertes
Adam Horner was apparently hard to work with on set. It was told that at times he refused to put on an American accent because he found it difficult, refusal to learn lines and instead wanted to have cue cards to read off, and was often late or didn't show up at all to set.

Patzer
During the surf competition, Jake is introduced as "Jake Reynolds, grandson of surfing legend Lou Reynolds" but earlier in the film it was established that Lou was the maternal grandfather. Since Jake's mother was married to Jake's father, Jake would not share Lou's last name.

Decent family film

A teenager moves to the coast with his mom, to live with his grandad following the death of his father. He struggles to fit in until his ex surfboard champion grandad teaches him to surf.

It's a straightforward story and one that's been done a million times before however I found it quite entertaining if a little predictable. There is a strong performances from Eric Roberts as the grandad and he steals most of the scenes he is in. Sydney Penny as his mom offers good support but unfortunately the lead actor Adam Horner is a bit wooden.

I must admit I know zip about surfing so I don't know how realistic the surfing scenes were but I'm guessing not very. This is really a film about fitting in and overcoming your fears more than surfing though so I guess that point doesn't really matter.

This is a safe and watchable family film that's probably worth a 6.5 but as it provided a nice distraction from the cold dull English winter I'll give it a 7.
