“Hunky young men and their tan-lined butts fill the screen… These young characters and their problems would fit right in on one of those CW Network teen soaps, but [director Dan] Castle and his cast aren’t afraid to explore tough topics, including the awkwardness of sex (frankly staged) and the open homosexuality of Fergus.” — LA Weekly
“Taken as sheer sensory spectacle, Dan Castle's colorful flick is a "Top Gun" with waves; a "Rocky" with board fins...” -Film Threat
“An engaging yarn buoyed by spectacular surf action. Emotional discord aside, it will strike the right note with any teenage surfie heading to the beach this summer.” – Filmlink Australia
“Overall, [Castle] has captured what I remember of the fantasy of the classic Newcastle adolescence -- all day at the beach, string bikinis and juicy blond teenagers.” – MovieTime, ABC Radio National
“Lingering images, loved for their beauty and composition, the pretty young cast and the contrasting scenes of industrial and scenic Newcastle help keep our attention.” – Urban Cinephile
