Yes both the story/plot are rather familiar and trite but those surfing sequences are amazing and well shot. The cast members do a pretty nice job but none of the performances are really memorable. Those surfing scenes are just so amazing though but I feel like I didn't really learn that much about surfing. The biggest problem with the movie is that only about 40-50 minutes are spent in the water, the other 50-60 minutes are spent on land which is where the movie loses ideas and doesn't know what to do with its characters. I have to give credit though to the director, he manages to bring us into the experience, instead of just filming the movie from shore or far away while the actors are surfing, like the way most surfing movies are shot, he brings us all over the place, above the water(helicopter of course), in the water, and in the actor's faces as their surfing the wave. The best though is when the camera goes into the water filming the surfers surfing the wave. Everything else about the movie was ok, the thing that keeps this from begin your typical teen sports/drama flick is the surfing sequences without them this would be a very boring movie.
