Other than the movie "Point Break," are there any other mainstream movies about surfing out there?

Question

I'm not talking about Endless Summer 1 or 2. Those are awesome movies, but I'm trying to find something about surfing that may be at my local video rental store. Something a little more mainstream..something less like a documentary and more like a regular movie. I can't really think of anything right now but I'm sure they exist. Thanks!!

Answer 1

...you might want to check out the classic film, "Ride the Wild Surf", from 1964, and starring Fabian, Shelley Fabares, Tab Hunter and Barbara Eden...

...one of my favorite surfing comedies, if you can find it, is the 1967 film, "Don't Make Waves...Make Love!", starring Tony Curtis; unfortunately, this one hasn't been released on video, but it DOES turn up on Turner Classic Movies, from time to time...

...then, of course, you have all of those Frankie Avalon/Annette Funicello surfing comedies from the 60's, including "Beach Blanket Bingo, and all the others...

...and if you are up for a challenge, try to find the so-stupid-it's-funny surfing comedy (...still has some outrageous surfing footage, though!), from 1984, called "Surf II"; it stars Eric Stoltz, Eddie Deezen, Ruth Buzzi, Lyle Waggoner, Cleavon Little, and the beautiful and ravishing Marilyn Monroe look-a-like, Linda Kerridge...
