What Popular Surfing Movie Takes Place In The Summer And Isn’t Like Endless Summer But Is A Classic?
I used to watch this movie when I was a kid and it had 2 guys and two chicks at the end of the movie and they are all sad that 1 of them has to move while they were in a restaurant reminiscing about the great summer they had. I want to say that “SUMMER” was in the title of the movie but I’m not sure? I remember 1 of the guys learning how to surf in the movie on two crates or something elevated up just like every other Hollywood movie that looks cheesy.lol I remember that there was a surfing contest in the movie that one of the two were practicing for. It has to be from the 70s I think because you could tell the people surfing were stunt surfers and the actors would just get head shots while surfing (you know what I mean…lol). All in all it was a really good movie and I can’t find it anywhere in the greatest surf movies? Can somebody please help me find the title? I know it takes place in the summer and there’s a love story along with great great friendships and a big surf contest at the end. I really can’t believe that this one isn’t a classic favorite either?

not sure why people keep saying big wednesday. it’s not big wednesday. there is an exhaustive list of surf movies on page 758-767 of Matt Warshaw’s “Encyclopedia of Surfing”. Maybe you can jog your memory by reading through it here: http://books.google.com/books?id=-DWQSYR…
