Oscar-winning actor Russell Crowe makes his feature directorial debut with this surf drama that follows rough-and-tumble wave riders Sunny, Koby, and Jai Abberton as they spark an underground movement in the Australian seaside suburb of Maroubra. In addition to directing the fictionalized version of the true-life story, Crowe also served as narrator of the 2007 documentary of the same name, which was produced in close collaboration with the Abberton siblings. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide
