Ride the Wild Surf (1964)
Member Rating:  
Fabian, Tab Hunter, and Peter Brown star as three surfers--Jody, Steamer and Chase--who make a pilgrimage from California to the north shore of Oahu for a vacation. Surfers from all over gather here every winter to compete with each other for the title of "the last ride" champion. While surfing the gigantic waves of the Pacific, the three young men each find romance with attractive young ladies (Shelley Fabares, Susan Hart, and Barbara Eden). Ride the Wild Surf features extensive surf footage of the Hawaiian Islands by cinematographer Joseph Biroc. Biroc was credited for a total of five feature productions in 1964. ~ Kristie Hassen, Rovi

BOOMER ALERT: A stellar cast of 60s teen idols including Fabian, Tab Hunter, James Mitchum (son of Robert and darn near as charismatic). Also makin' the scene are Shelly Fabares, babe-a-licious Barbara Eden and forgotten heart-throb Susan Hart, who performs a slow thunder hula that shook what's left of my pimply teenage soul to the core. This isn't a "Beach Party" movie, it's spozed to be a serious flick, but don't hold that against it. The plot's an afterthought but there's just enough great vintage surfing shot at Waimea Bay to break it up nicely. Only problem is the music - there's a Jan n' Dean surf song but they tacked it over the end credits and the rest is Hollywood schmaltz. Okay, not for everyone - but If you grew up during the surfing craze you will probably get a kick outa this!
