This is a movie for people who really like surfing. It tells the story of this boy Michael who loves surfing and enlists the help of his next door neighbourhood to help him train for a mythic wave called the Maverick to survive it. Throughout the movie you see them train for it and Frosty has him do exercises to see what he knows about himself and his fears. There is also a focus on Frosty's home life as he seem's to neglect his 2 children throughout the whole movie. His wife seem's to notice this and talks to him about it but he never seems to listen. Throughout the whole movie he's seen bonding with Jay but never seems to have that relationship with his own children. That's the one aspect of the movie I didn't like. I know it's based on a true story but he could have included his daughter in the training aspect of surfing. The surfing scenes are plentiful and fun to watch. It's not a great movie by any standards and didn't seem to have much energy to it but I enjoyed it
