My 11 year old just surfed for the first time and I plan to take him to this movie. Fascinating look at surfer culture and brings up questions about life, fear, and personal quests that would be a good discussion. I think it would have been even better a half hour shorter.
This movie really put into perspective the stereotypes placed on surfers, it also was a great eye opener to those who have never been around the sport.
It showed a lot of the true nature of surfing and its legends.
