Decent Surf Film, But Nothing More
There are other surf movies that are better for sure, but this is just fine.
Set in the early 70's, we get to see what surfing was all about during that time period. The surfing industry barely be taken seriously by anyone who isn't involved in the activity, and trying to break out of that draws criticism from those even within the community. It's a struggle of commercialism vs living life in the moment.
'Drift' has some great shots. The rest of the story is just okay, and is slow moving. The acting is decent enough, but love triangles absolutely drive me up the wall. Thankfully it wasn't over done, but seemed like it was heading that way for awhile.
