Hey Parents!

Want to brainwash your kids into wanting to surf?

Here is our list of kiddie friendly surf movies to help you plant the surfing seeds in your child’s mind at a nice young age.

The ultimate animated surf movie for kids (and adults!) has to be Surf’s Up.

Surf’s Up blew up in box offices around the world, entertaining audiences both young and old, surfers and non-surfers. The film centers around young Cody Maverick and his dream to be a champion surfer. It’s highly recommended viewing for all ages.

.

IMDB Score: 6.4/10

 


Surf's Up 2 - Wave Mania
2. SURF’S UP 2 – Wave Mania (2017)

10 years after the huge success of Surf’s Up, came Surf’s Up 2. Fans of the original were highly disappointed that this film was not a continuation of the first – it was rather seen as an attempt by the film producers to cash in on the success of the original without putting in the same effort. The characters also featured the voices of famous WWE wrestling stars in an attempt to attract fans of surfing and wrestling. It did not launch in cinemas but went direct to DVD. (Rated PG for some rude humor and mild action) IMDB Score: 4.6/10
