Surfer Blue

About This Movie

Surfer Blue is a rather eclectic slice of early '80s cinema that dives headfirst into the sun-soaked world of Malibu. It’s this curious blend of surf culture and unabashed sexuality that stands out; the film captures a laid-back vibe while showcasing the youthful exuberance of its cast. The pacing meanders like the waves it features, giving you moments to soak in the atmosphere and appreciate the practical effects—like stunning beach visuals and some, let's say, interesting surf stunts. Performances are, well, variable, but there’s a certain charm in their enthusiasm. It’s a film that revels in its niche, distinct for its unabashed approach to both sports and sensuality, set against that iconic Southern California scenery.

Surfer Blue has remained somewhat elusive in the collector's market, with its original VHS editions being particularly sought after due to the film's niche appeal. Despite being released in 1983, it hasn't seen widespread re-releases, making it a rarity that sparks interest among collectors who appreciate its raw take on '80s surf culture. As a piece of obscure cinema, it often draws curiosity for both its thematic content and its period representation, giving it a unique place in the pantheon of surf films.
