I have always loved this movie. I am admittedly a bit biased towards it. My husband was sponsered by Bear Surfboards in the 1970's and was Gary Busey's stunt double (or surf double) for the "BIG WEDNESDAY" monster waves. Gary (and the others) did all their own surfing on the "normal" waves and were quite good. Enjoy!

How anyone can watch this and not like it, I don't know. A movie about life, growing up and friendship. First saw it back in the 70s and bought it as an adult 20 years later. A must see.

Great movie for a surfer, but entertaining for anyone. When John Milius is involved it is usually pretty good.(Appocolypse Now, HBO Rome)

A movie about kids doing kid things and how your friendships lessen when you get on with your life. A warm and fuzzy movie. I enjoyed it.

i always enjoy this and come away revived...its fun to see the locations where i've surfed, the piers and restaurants...the personalities are amazing. this is a true time capsule and if you weren't there it might seem more fictional than it really is. memories of a simpler time. i toss out lines from this movie all the time in my day to day dealings. "and turn off that crappy music" "hey you guys...split!" andf charlene tilton lobs out a "bitchin"...sweet.
