Film 35/365, Day 37/365 – Surf’s Up

Cody Maverick is alone in his colony of penguins. He is the only one who surfs, inspired by a visit from Big Z when he was younger. Now he has a chance at competing in the Big Z memorial surf tournament. When Cody goes head to head with the reigning champion, Tank ‘The Shredder’ Evans, he wipes out and needs to be rescued by the lifeguard. With his confidence shaken can a new found mentor help him rediscover his love of surfing?

Surf’s Up is told in the form of a documentary which works excepetionally well. One of the best elements is the excellent supporting cast, Chicken Joe is probably my favourite. Primarily this is a childrens film but there is plenty in there for adults. It’s lots of fun and definitely one to watch.
