The dialogue is laughable, and the plot is by the numbers. But if you're a surfer (or an armchair surfer), this ultra-silly movie may prove hard to resist. It's the one about the kid from Arizona (Matt Adler), who's surfed only on artificial waves in that landlocked state, coming out to spend his last free summer hitting the serious water of Hawaii. He falls in with a mystical surf guru (Gregory Harrison), one of those surf-Zen masters obsessed with the cosmic significance of hanging ten, but he's also tempted by the flashier stunts of the younger surf crowd. Oh, and the Arizona kid also gets romantic with the prettiest girl on Oahu (Nia Peeples), which precipitates trouble with her resentful native family. If the story's no winner, the surfing action is excellent, with many real-life surfers contributing their talents. For shredders, a guilty pleasure. --Robert Horton

Turtle.......2007-03-10

the beach, the love, friendship and the moment all of which this chillout session creates. phenominal classic, your a barn if you don't watch and enjoy.

cheers with style

Classic!.......2007-03-05

The two biggest reasons to get this movie: 1. Turtle and 2. the soundtrack. The surfing scenes are great. You will never find a movie that tries so little to be good and ends up being so great.

The film of my dreams.......2007-01-25

this film is really beautifful, the history is wonderful, and at this moment i've not received that yet, so i'm really exciting for receive and see again tha Rick Kane's and kiany's love history.

'Rudy' Meets 'Gidget' (sort of).......2006-12-16

This is a cheesy 80's movie that was released at the height of the neo-surf craze in the 1980's. Unfortunately, I fell victim to that. Still, it's funny to see this movie- a time when Town & Country Surf Designs and Quiksilver reigned supreme.

This movie tells the story of Rick Kane (Matt Adler), a surfer from Tempe, Arizona, who decides to travel to Hawaii to conquer the 'monster' waves of the North Shore (filmed on location in Hawaii) before he heads to art school in New York in the fall. Rick thinks he has the skills to surf the North Shore after winning a surf contest in a simulated wave tank. Unlilke the proverbial 'fish out of water,' Rick soons finds that he is an unwelcome fish in water, and he's in over his head.

When he arrives in Hawaii, Rick meets a couple of surfers who teach him a few things- one of them being that he's not ready to surf the North Shore (great cinematography); however, Rick continues to insist he can surf with the best. Instead, Rick learns that the waves of the North Shore are nothing like the simulated waves of Arizona. After a run-in with the locals (the Hui), Rick learns that 'haoles' like him are not welcome in Hawaii and that he'd better stay out of the locals' way both on land and in the water.

Soon after, young Rick meets a local named Turtle, who introduces him to Chandler (Gregory Harrison), a local surfer and surfboard maker who has accepted the customs of the locals and their culture. Under the guidance and tutelage of Chandler (kind of like Yoda training Luke Skywalker), Rick gradually learns to surf. More importantly, though, Rick learns that true surfers are out on the waves because they love it out there, not because they seek fame and fortune. Rick also happens to meet a local girl named Kiani (Nia Peeples- hot!) who is sympathetic to Rick and helps him feel more comfortable during his stay in Hawaii.

As Rick gets better, he captures the attention of a local surf photographer who convinces him to enter the Pipeline Classic. This provides Rick the opportunity to compete with the world's best surfers even though entering the contest conflicts with Chandler's philosophy of being a 'Soul Surfer.' Still, Rick enters the contest and soon finds himself in competition with Lance Burkhart, his one-time hero.

Will Rick have enough skill to beat Lance Burkhart and achieve his dream of surfing fame? I guess you'll have to stay loose, barney, and watch the whole movie.

Brah, You So Haole...........2006-11-07

i cant add anything to the other 75 comments... back in the day, this was a cheesy B movie filmed in hawaii. we all watched it cause nia peeples was a HOTTIE! being born and raised here, we all made fun of the cheesy lines by repeating them incessantly. now the lines are classic and part of the local pidgin. turtle was everyone's favorite character cause he sounds like a typical haole trying to act local. our favorite line was "brah, you so haole, you no even know you haole" - turtle. my favorite word which i still use today... "KOOK."

i quoted turtle today (adapted to the person) "you're so clueless, you dont event know you're clueless." i had to explain the movie which led to me realizing, THIS IS A MUST HAVE CULT DVD FOR THE COLLECTION. the 18 year old girl whom i called clueless said she just read turtle's line on someone's surfboard (19 years after the movie was released!!). CLASSIC!!!

Short and Sweet.......2007-05-06

Just got back from the North Shore and was missing it. Saw the video and bought it. Its fast paced with no narration, just tunes. It was short only 30 minutes with only quick views of Halewia and none of the bay! . Its just basic nice waves and surfing. I was disappointed because a video is needed catching the whole vibe of the North shore Area. The story and feel beyond the great surfing. The Real shaved ice, the shrimp trucks, the ranch, the small great restaurants and the local "underground" flavor. Even hit on the locals vs. high rise development angle. Its a treasure, and by the way don't go.

For established champions and aspiring pipeliners alike, the Vans Triple Crown of Surfing is like a greatest-hits collection that never goes out of style. This 65-minute surf-orgy covers all three competitions in the 22nd annual Triple Crown challenge, which is essentially the Stanley Cup, World Series, and Super Bowl of surfing, all rolled into one awesome showdown on the most challenging breaks of Oahu's north shore. It's there, in the tropical winter of 2004, that the world's greatest surfers showed up to compete against the best of the best, a stellar lineup of veterans and newcomers including Derek Ho, Mark "Occy" Occilupo, Phillip MacDonald, brothers Bruce and Andy Irons, Tom Carroll, and many others. The TC tour is comprised of the Vans Hawaiian Pro tournament at Haleiwa (which many consider the "scariest" break of all, with huge waves on a shallow-water base); the O'Neill World Cup of Surfing at Sunset Beach ("the most challenging," some say); and the Rip Curl Pro Pipeline Masters competition at Pipeline, where the biggest breaks (and a deadly reputation) cause even the boldest surfers to get a case of the jitters. It's there that finalists Jamie O'Brien, Kalani Robb, Bruce Irons, and six-time Triple Crown winner Sunny Garcia (the first surfer to surpass $1 million in prize money) compete for the title of "best in the world," and director Bill Kiely's camera crew is there, in the roiling surf, to capture all the action. While not as visually awesome as Billabong Odyssey, this Triple Crown survey has more to offer for seasoned surfers and pros-in-the-know, providing an insider's view of the race for their most coveted prize. The pounding rock soundtrack (parental advisory suggested, for "f-word" lyrics) is excerpted on a bonus disc with eight tracks from various artists (Death by Stereo, Matchbook Romance, Pennywise and others) on the Epitaph label. --Jeff Shannon

Disappointment of the World's Greatest Sporting Event!.......2006-01-30

First, why not make a documentry of the best from ALL of the past Triple Crown's, instead of just one, OK winter?! Also, I can't watch this again because Sunny Garcia makes me ill. He's the most unpleasant person in the entire history of surfing!

2004 VANS TRIPLE CROWN OF SURFING.......2005-10-21

The Vans Triple Crown of Surfing is like what the Stanley Cup is to Hockey, the Super Bowl to football, and Indy 500 is to Cart Racing...Simply put its the mecca of surfing.

The crew at WINDOWSEATpictures captured the emotion, essence, and one of the best contests in years on the N.Shore. The cinematography, in-depth interviews and the drama of Sunny Garcia capture his 6th Triple Crown title was amazing. The edits were on point, the music just gets you psyched on wanting you to grab your board and hit the beach. If you are surfer this video is definitely worth checking out and keeping in the vault.
