Review of North Shore (1987) by Don S — 11 Nov 2012

This is like a mash up of Spring Break and the Karate Kid. The first part, kid goes to destination with no place to stay, hooks up with partying surfers, etc., is completely horrid. Awash with poor acting and lots of surfer jargon, I nearly turned it off (and I don't do that).

Then kid hooks up with surfer guru and learns humility and other life lessons. Becomes awesome surfer and enters contest. This part is pretty good. Throw in the absolutely stunning Nia Peeples, and the movie is saved!
