Criticism
The lexicon of the International film wrote that the production going, " it only secondarily lost surfing ". In the center rather stand the " mentor -student relationship ", which let also be interpreted as " symbolic father -son relationship ." The " carefully scripted climax with impressive sea shots and rapid surf scenes " would succeed to weaken existing " genre clichés and linguistic platitudes " in terms of their negative effect.
