Actually I would not have watched this on my own only because I didn't know about it. But i ended up liking it. If I cry to it, that's how I know I enjoyed it.

Short Summary:
Boy grows up loving surfing. In the meantime, he is always near his childhood sweetheart and also has family issues of his own. Like I said, he likes to surf so in order to ride the big waves, a guy teaches him how to handle it. (Based on a true story.) They also show you a little interview of the real guy at the end of the movie.
I really liked the part towards the end (I'm not spoiling it here), when he asks what are you afraid of.. It really made me think of what I personally am afraid of, but just like the main character I felt like I didn't want to know..
What are you afraid of?
