This film has a bit of a niche following among surf enthusiasts and collectors, though it's not as widely recognized outside that realm. There are a few different formats available, but the original VHS is quite sought after due to its limited release. Scarcity plays a role in its collector status, and the film tends to pop up at surf festivals or vintage marketplaces, which adds to its charm and allure in collectors' circles.
