To me, this movie is perfection.

A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

The movie is made so realistic it has a lot of that WoW feeling at the right moments and never tooo over the top. the suspense is done so well and the emotion is felt. Very well put together with the music and all.

I hate that there is not a real full length feature surf movie with a Young Black Male Lead, showing the truth! That Not only do we as Blacks around the world surf but, that the surfing originated like everything else from Africa !!!! It is also demonstrated in a great Documentary "White Wash" Unfortunately not in this movie "Surf School" with Sisqó as the token Black guy who can't surf! just enforces White Supremacist American Racism ! It's sad because this stereotype makes Blacks locally and all people Locally or abroad think that it's true! I had a fellow Black guy tell me that I don't surf, When I just told him that I surfed before in Myrtle Beach,SC USA ! LOL So besides that,overall Great Movie: Performances by Characters and Story! Must Watch!

I rented Surf School, and the 1st time I saw it, I hated it, and wrote a very negative review. Then, being a huge fan of Harland Williams, I saw it again, and I have to admit I laughed very hard. It might be misleading since for months I have had a spiteful review of it up on IMDb. Now, here is my apology letter to Harland Williams: I am sorry, Harland for saying you were creepy in this, I found you quite funny, and sorry for saying you're career's drowning, it's just beginning. Williams plays R.I.P., a deluded ex-surfer in this. The first time I saw this, I thought he was creepy. When I watched it again, he was absolutely hysterical. This movie is absolutely hysterical, and does not deserve the crap it's taking. I can't believe I didn't find this funny the 1st time. I think maybe because this movie has gotten so much hate I thought it had to be terrible. I am glad I took a second look at this. Harland Williams is hilarious, and I say to all the people who hate this film that all these people who wrote how much they liked it on IMDb who only wrote a review for Surf School, well now there's someone who likes it who has 12 pages of reviews and growing. When I saw it the 2nd time, I found it absolutely hysterical, saw it a couple of more times, and still found it funny, so sue me if you will for loving a movie everyone else seems to despise.

OK i guess most of the clowns who post here are movie snobs who can't just enjoy some silly humor. This movie probably made me laugh out loud 10 times which is more than most movies do. The surf bum from Half-Baked is freaking hilarious. When he talks about stacking onion rings on his shaft i lost it. The girls are hot as hell and there's some decent waves. I bought this and probably watch once a month and it really grows on you. It may not really be a 10 compared to the great movies but for this kind of movie it's a 10. Relax and just enjoy it for what it is which is silly fun. the topless stuff is pretty damn cool since the chicks are natural and hot.

A group of highschoolers head off to learn how to surf because the leader wants to win the heart of a girl who only has eyes for surfer champs. They answer the ad of a surf instructor only to find that photoshop makes a junk pile look like a paradise. You are left not knowing which has more beer cans, the lawn or the surf instructor.As another commenter said, this is not a 1. It is a great comedy, carried by Harland Williams as the washed up surfer dude/instructor. The mysterious woman is an excellent payoff.Admittedly, you have to check your brain at the door before watching it. If you are in that kind of mood, you will enjoy it. The women are gorgeous. The comedy is deadpan. The music is radical. The acting leaves everything to be desired. Think of it as a modern version of Beach Blanket Bingo.About a month after seeing this, I saw Harlan in person at the DC Improv. I asked him why he didn't list it in his credits on the Play Bill. His response, "You actually saw that piece of sh*t?"
