17-year old Jesse lives in the shadow of his older brother Victor's failure to become surfing's Next Big Thing. Even when he's in his natural habitat of magnificent surf breaks, his blue-collar future is brought home by the coal barges that constantly line his horizon. Jesse has the natural skills to surf his way out of this reality and onto the international circuit but can he overcome his equally natural ability to sabotage himself? A momentous weekend away with his mates that includes first love and tragedy leads him to discover what's really important, and also to the performance of a lifetime.

This wasn´t nearly as gay as I thought it would be.

I can’t believe people don’t think this movie is good. Like yeah it’s not the best and could be better, but I think this movie is so good. I consider this a lucky find since barely anyone knows about. Overall I like this movie, I like the characters and I think they seem very real. I really enjoyed the plot throughout especially the little fights they have and the death of Victor. To me it was very unexpected because the movie seems light hearted and teens just going through regular teen stuff, so I really liked they added something shocking and sad.

This was honestly better than I expected. Despite a bad ending to the film, it wasn’t half bad.

I really wish we got to see more of Andy and Fergus’ relationship because to me that was the most interesting plot point. Andy was also just so great for the whole movie, it’s too bad that they didn’t capitalize on that. I would’ve actually loved to see a movie where Andy is the main character instead of Jesse I think he was a much more interesting character and a lot less of a shithead.
