Volite li gledati zgodne momke na plaži? Ako uživate u tome onda je ovo pravi film za vas. Iako se nemože svrstati u film gay tematike, film odiše nekom jedva primjetnom homoerotikom! Naravno tema filma to uopšte nije , niti se priča dotiče previše toga , osim ako ne računamo na prepucavanja tipa: pederu popusi mi kurac! ( ja bih odgovorio: peder ti popušio dabogda!)Medjutim sigurno je da se u tom pubertetskom dobu svaki muškarac susreće sa svojom homoseksualnošću. U to vrijeme sam sa skoro svim mojim drugovima drkao kurac gledajući slike iz časopisa, a sa mnogima od njih sam imao i nešto više!

Danas neke od njih srećem po gradu ( uh kako su poružnili) pa ih ponekad pecnem podsjećajući ih na to. Samo kažu nešto kao : Uh nemoj me podsjćati na to, na šta se ja uglavnom iskreno zagrcnem od smjeha!
A ima ih koji kažu mogli bi opet koji put. Pa zar da pokvarim lijepo sjećanje , ne dolazi u obzir! Uglavnom im to i kažem tako! A sa nekolicinom se ipak podsjećam! Onako drugarski ga izdrkamo, ponekad popušimo , popijemo piće , ispričamo se i idemo dalje.
Takav je život, svi se udubimo u neke svoje probleme.
Ovaj film dakle nije gay film a zbog čega se ipak našao na ovom blogu zaključite gledajući ga . Volio bih i vaš komentar na to!

Every second of surfing footage in this film is so mind-blowingly gorgeous, you won’t want to take your eyes off the screen. Which is good, because almost nothing else is going to grab your attention.

The Hoff family has three brothers: Jesse (Lachlan Buchanan) , a 17 year old wanna-be surfer, living in the shadow of former surf champion and half-brother Victor (Reshad Strik), whose life is in ruins due to a knee injury and a drinking problem; and Fergus (Xavier Samuel), who dies his hair purple, wears nail polish and Clash t-shirts, and is in the midst of discovering that he might be homosexual.


Opening with tryouts for a surf competition that would catapult the winner into the International circuit, the film meanders through the various struggles of the three boys and their friends, broken up by those gorgeous surfing shots mentioned earlier (and speaking of gorgeous, it’s worth noting that every young person in this movie is extremely good looking, and often nearly naked as well).



A turning point is reached when the teenagers decide to lie to their parents and take a camping trip on the beach to do what typical teenagers do: smoke pot, drink, have sex – and surf, of course. When Victor winds up at the same beach and finds Jesse practicing in order to be the next champion, egos rise and a fierce competition results in (highly predictable) tragedy.
