Shoot the curl and get tubular with this vintage surfing flick that includes a cast of cut-ups such as Fabian, Tab Hunter, Shelly Fabares, Barbara Eden and Jim Mitchum. Highlights include the ubiquito...( read more  read more... )us clambake (on the beach, of course) and a wild surf contest to see who rules the waves. Directed by Don Taylor, this comedy includes some campy, wave-riding close-ups with the stars looking like the Wallendas tiptoeing on a high wire. Radical!

    A sea of cheese.

    Wow a surf movie that's actually about surfin', of course romantic subplots are thrown in for good measure not to mention it stars the ever dreamy Fabian and a pretty good theme song by Jan and Dean. It's a little rough around the edges and unintentionally funny at times but hold...( read more)s its own as far as surf movies go.

    Wow the shots where the actors were supposed to be surfing and the camera went in for the close up were so bad that I laughed out loud. I could achieve those effects with a handy cam and a projector and still do a better job.

    Pretty people only go so far, eventually some acting is required which seems beyond the good looking cast in this. The ocean looks beautiful though.

    A fairly fluffy and frivolous movie- and some of the surf scenes went on FOREVER, but it was entertaning and good fun.
