Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Big Waves
The previous reviews about the movie being all about the waves is correct. The plot was quite boring. Definitely, a "Grade B" movie. But the waves were quite nice. Although, filming isn't very good, and it's quite obvious the stars of the movie were not doing the actual surfing.
Rating:  - Ride The Wild Surf
Some people say it's a bit hokey but I think it is classic retro, with some of the best big Waimea footage that is around.
Rating: - Hart to Heart Wipeout
I bought this movie as a cap on my Frankie & Annette MGM Movie Legends Collection (8 movies - 4 dvds) available at Amazon.com. First, I am not a surfer; but if I was, I'd be an aging surfer - at my age! As a non-surfer, I am intrigued by the surfer mystique (no bills, no responsibilities, no laundry, endless respectable surfer ladies for the unmarried surfer dude, and awesome waves that never quit you). I was hooked into buying this movie by the other Wild Surf reviews after Amazon said, "If you're buying Frankie and Annette, why don't you buy this?"
Frankly, I wasn't expecting much. I feared that my family would weary of me foisting these surf movies (and I use that term loosely in relation to F & A) upon them. I'm afraid I'd have to apologize to my wife for making her watch such a corny, irrelevant throwback. Don't worry about her; she excused herself here and there throughout the movie to attend to some more relevant pursuits.
I won't cover the same ground that the other reviewers did. I will say that once the narrator started talking while they showed scenery of Oahu's north shore, my seat was staked to the seat. No cussing, no fists thrown, no groping (except for Barbara Eden doing her Judo)... a little vacation away from contemporary "reality driven" entertainment. It was as refreshing as a bucket of the Pacific's charms tossed upon you on a hot afternoon's labor. Here's what really drove me over the edge: Susan Hart's fully clothed Polynesian dance. When ...

Rating:  - Barbara Eden is a real Judo Blackbelt!
Loved this show as it typifies the surf 60's scene. What was most impressive to me is the stunning Ms Barbara Eden in one of her most down to earth characters yet. Few people know that Barbara Eden was a Judo expert and she gets a rare chance to show off her skills on this set as she playfully throws her would be boyfriend Chase to the ground after he taunts her abilities. After she humbles him to the ground while keeping him in a judo lock placing her bare foot down upon his face, he finally gives up and learns to also "lighten up" for the rest of the show. Overall some great surfing and cool waves, this is a cult classic for everyone who loves a good throwback to the early 60's innocence.
Rating: - Yep. It's a surfin' movie
Definitely a product of its time, if you are the kind of person who could watch people surf for hours then this is the movie for you! Lots of beautiful footage of Hawaii and some fun parts to it. Loved the Nike-Zeus skyrocket bit, but then again I'm an Air Defense Artillery guy.
