SURF'S UP
SYNOPSIS
Surf’s Up is an animated comedy that delves behind
the scenes of the high-octane world of competitive
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 Aliilai (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.--©Columbia
