Review of Ride Your Wave

If you - like me - were fooled by the strange animation style from the poster, or - like me - are not fond of the ocean theme, please, correct yourself and give this movie a chance! Plus - it doesn't seem like it, but it's a real tearjerker and at the same time carries very cool message about loss and moving on! I've had this title in my Plan to Watch list for a while but because of the above said I've plain ignored it. I was never so worng! The plot manages to combine firefighting with surfing !! and very sweetly presented and funlove story with the despair after losing someone close to you. Very nice mixture and very original presentation of the story! Big PRO for me - main characters are not highschoolers but damn GROWN PEOPLE! Very relatable for a 30+ like myself.

I recommend this not onlly for a nce change of scenery but if you've been through a loss recently. It conveys a really nice message of acceptance and getting a grip of your life after you've been shaken. Yes, tears will be shed, but overall the feeling through the whole movie is very positive.
