Ride the Wild Surf

Ride the Wild Surf is a romantic drama in the beach party style. It was filmed in 1963 and distributed in 1964. Unlike most films in the genre, it is known for its exceptional big wave surf footage a common sight in surf movies of the time, but a rarity in beach party films. Likewise, the film has only one pop song the titular Jan and Dean track, which is heard once, at the end of the film.

Steamer falls in love with Lily Kilua Susan Hart, whose mother objects to the romance because she considers surfers to be beach bums, since her husbanda surferleft home and family to follow the surf circuit. Selfdescribed college dropout and surf bum Jody falls for the demure Brie Matthews Shelley Fabares, who challenges him to return to college. In the case of the relatively straitlaced Chase, he finds himself pursued by the adventurous Augie Poole Barbara Eden.The main story, though, is the challenge to surf the monster waves at Waimea Bay, and fit in among the champion surfers there such as Eskimo James Mitchum. Despite conflicts, injuries and rocky romances, Wallis, Chase and Steamer prove themselves braveor crazyenough to try to be the last one to ride in the highest wave. ........
