Cody wakes up, but cannot find the souvenir necklace given to him by Big Z. Lani rescues him and takes him to her uncle, "Geek", to help Cody recover from his injuries. Tank wins the duel while Cody nearly drowns and is stung by a sea urchin named Ivan. Cody sees Tank vandalizing Big Z's memorial and immediately challenges him to a surfing duel. He also meets the contest's arrogant champion, Tank "The Shredder" Evans, who has won the Big Z Memorial nine times since it was first held after Z's presumed death during a previous match ten years ago. The entrants arrive at Pen-Gu Island, where Cody meets and immediately falls in love with Lani Aliikai, a female gentoo penguin who is a lifeguard. En route to the contest, Cody befriends another entrant, Chicken Joe, a friendly but dim-witted rooster surfer from Sheboygan, Wisconsin. When a talent scout shorebird named Michael Abromowitz arrives to find entrants for the Big Z Memorial surfing contest on Pen-Gu Island, Cody jumps at the chance. In a mockumentary, northern rockhopper penguin Cody Maverick, living in Shiverpool, Antarctica, with his mother Edna and his older brother Glen, has yearned to be a professional surfer ever since meeting the famous surfer Big Z many years ago. A sequel, titled Surf's Up 2: WaveMania, was released direct-to-video in the United States on January 17, 2017, and theatrical in select countries. It was nominated for Best Animated Feature at the 80th Academy Awards. The film grossed $152 million worldwide against a budget of $100 million. Surf's Up was released in the United States on June 8, 2007, by Sony Pictures Releasing, and received generally positive reviews from critics, with praise for the animation and humor. To obtain the desired hand-held documentary feel, the film's animation team motion-captured a physical camera operator's moves. Real-life surfers Kelly Slater and Rob Machado have vignettes as their penguin surfer counterparts. It is a parody of surfing documentaries, such as The Endless Summer and Riding Giants, with parts of the plot parodying North Shore. The film stars the voices of Shia LaBeouf, Jeff Bridges, Zooey Deschanel, Jon Heder, and James Woods. It was directed by Ash Brannon and Chris Buck (in the former's feature directorial debut) from a screenplay they co-wrote with Don Rhymer and producer Chris Jenkins, based on a story by Jenkins and Christian Darren. So, if you’re planning on being in the Bay area tomorrow, RSVP today to see what kind of surf is up on the walls of Audubon.Surf's Up is a 2007 American animated mockumentary comedy film produced by Columbia Pictures and Sony Pictures Animation, and distributed by Sony Pictures Releasing. The Richardson Bay Audubon Center & Sanctuary figured prominently into the story, so it seems fitting that it will co-host an exhibit on Brown’s photography and surf art. Audubon recently featured Cannon’s work in “ Bay Watch,” by Jane Braxton Little, about ambitious efforts to restore one particularly important biological trove-San Francisco Bay. Photographer (and California resident) Brown Cannon III knows this well and has spent ample time capturing it on film. Photo by Brown Cannon III.Ĭalifornia's coast is a treasure. The Richardson Bay Audubon Center & Sanctuary’s historic Lyford House affords panoramic views of San Francisco and the Bay Bridge.
