What's it about?

'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 ducument 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 Abramowitz (Mario Cantone), and spirited lifeguard Lani Aliikai (Zooey Deschanel), all of whom recognise Cody's passion for surfing, even if it sometimes goes too far.

Cody believes that winning will bring him 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 that comes in first.
