Watching top surfers in action is never a chore, but the film's archive footage would have been even more enjoyable to lay viewers if the commentary had better explained why the men's innovations were so daring and controversial.

Times (UK)
Although you'd expect moist eyes from bitter, fading stars desperately trying to scrawl their names in the history books, the film avoids this indignity with engaging characters, an informative narrative and tons of awe-inspiring archive footage.

Rating: 3/4 --
Almost all of the surfing footage is beautiful stuff, though you'll likely want to see even more.
Florida Times-Union
Rating: 3/5 --
A subject worth exploring but, whilst old footage illustrates the storyline, this doesn't manage to strecth up until the present day.
Empire Magazine
3 stars out of 5 -- “[T]he vintage surf footage packs some thumping wipeouts...”
