Description
Surf's Upis an animated comedy that delves behind the scenes of the
high-octane world of professional surfing. The film profiles
teenage Rockhopper penguin Cody Maverick Shia LaBeouf, an
up-and-coming surfer, as he enters his first pro competition.
Followed by a camera crew to document his experiences, Cody leaves
his family and home in Shiverpool, Antarctica to travel to Pen Gu
Island for the Big Z Memorial Surf Off. Along the way, Cody meets
surf nut Chicken Joe Jon Heder, famous surf promoter Reggie
Belafonte James Woods, surf talent scout Mikey Abromowitz
Mario Cantone, and spirited lifeguard Lani Aliikai Zooey
Deschanel, all of whom recognize Cody's passion for surfing, even
if it sometimes goes too far. Cody believes that winning will bring
him the admiration and respect he desires, but when he unexpectedly
comes face-to-face with a washed-up old surfer named Geek Jeff
Bridges, Cody begins to find his own way, and discovers that a
true winner isn't always the one who comes in first.
