    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      The rainbow behind Kate Bosworth at the end of the competition was real. It was almost edited out because it was too cheesy, but since Hawaii really does have frequent rainbows it was left for authenticity.
    • Goofs
      In an early scene, Anne Marie is brushing her teeth, looking in the mirror. Her eyes are natural: one hazel, one blue. During the surf competition, her eyes are both hazel. On the movie poster, her eyes are blue.
    • Quotes
      • Penny: You're going to surf in that?
      • Leslie: No, I'm gonna surf in my da-na-da-na
      • Penny: Your what?
      • [Leslie whips off towel]
      • Leslie: Da na da na!
      • Penny: You're wearing nut-huggers!
    • Crazy credits
      The end credits showed a montage of people surfing.
    • Alternate versions
      The TV edit does not show the end credits sequence.
