Succeeds at being laughably highfalutin.Full Review

Village Voice

Rich in its love of surfing but curiously short on such footage, well-meaning directorial debut by producer Robert Mickelson is boosted by winning performances, but ultimately about as memorable as a day of 3-4 foot swells.Full Review

Scott Foundas
Variety

There's some technical dexterity in melding the various formats and capturing some impressive surf footage, but the shaggy dog nature of the story proves exhausting. Full Review

Kevin Crust
Los Angeles Times

What comes off as clever at first quickly wears out -- even the sudden cutaways to spectacular surf footage can't save this wipeout.Full Review

Jon Strickland
L.A. Weekly

This amateurish picture was built around surfing footage that Mikelson shot for a Compaq computer ad and developed with an eye for accommodating a series of lush tropical locations: It's no wonder the plot and characters feel like afterthoughts.Full Review
