seymour cassel give a great performance and a tour de force . his act a suppose wash up beach stud duke slusarski will always have a place in my heart . the film be center around a nerd who just come to the beach in hope of honor his dead brother dream . what he get be lame surf hijinks . guy cheat and guy fight and and guy get drunk go to watch surf documentary with the whole town of la on a friday night . duke take the nerd in and try to teach him how play volleyball be like touch a woman . next time my woman talk back i will pretend i be spike the ball . back to seymour cassel . the end of the movie turn into a good drama and since the first half of the film really have no point . duke play a wonderful game of volleyball and the best he play in over ten year . the way the scene be shoot be beautiful . you can feel the heart this man have for the game and the love of be on the beach . those five minute will go down as one of my favorite of all time . negative bad to fair and the rest of the movie be lame .
