A must have for your surfing movie collection, a piece of cinematic kitsch as well.
The surfing scenes (a montage of various places, apparently in SoCal) are all too brief, but worthwhile.
The fake-surfing and stunt-surfing are a hoot and leave you wanting more.
Precious scenes of Malibu and Santa Monica pre-building explosion.
And of course, Eric Von Zipper. Personally, I think Bob Cummings is adorable, and there's such a cheapie, near-porn subtext to much of the film, everyone gets to camp it up a bit.
