This film does have some great cinematography and beautiful and interesting locations, but it can be a bit dark in places.
Even as a surfer and avid surf film watcher (hence buying it in the first place!) I found it very difficult to watch, simply because it's so boring! I gave up halfway through the first attempt to watch it and only returned to it, some months later, on a very cold and rainy day.
Watch it for the surfing, but don't watch it for the story. In fact, stick it on mute, listen to some music and just pay attention when the surf scenes come on - this should condense it into a decent 20 min long surf flick.
If you want a surf film with a story, watch Big Wednesday, because you'll just be disappointed with this one!
