    Storyline

    • Trivia
      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.
    • Goofs
      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.

    Really Bad

    It's not like I was expecting some great movie. I knew it would be following a basic formula, but wow!! This was really really bad. Let's just start with the fact that the 22 yr old is lead actor is supposed to be 17. Add to that, that he's a terrible actor brooding around for 1.5hrs. It's too bad because the movie had potential, but they managed to botch it at every level.

    The plot is dumb, the bad guys are weak, the backstory is not compelling, and the execution was terrible.

    The kid is so lame, you can't even root for him. His love interest is supposed to be a great surger with family problems and we don't see that either. All the way around a total waste of time and potential.
