Likable teenage soap about a tomboy (Sandra Dee) who falls for a beach bum (James Darren) while discovering her love for surfing. This is not at all a comedy and I'm not sure why it's listed that way, here and everywhere else you look. It doesn't even try to be funny outside of some of the surfer dudes' lines. It's a relic of its time and youth culture. Similar to the Frankie & Annette Beach Party movies, but without the singing and not as much fun. Sandra Dee's adorableness carries the whole movie. Inspired a later TV series starring Sally Field that I liked a lot as a kid.
