What's left behind the scenes

  • The film is based on real events from the life of Californian surfer Jay Moriarty.
  • Michael Apted took over directing for the last three weeks of principal photography due to Curtis Hanson's health issues.
  • An international online casting was conducted to find an actor for the role of Jay Moriarty.
  • Six Red Epic cameras were lost during surfing footage shooting at Mavericks.
  • During filming, Gerard Butler performed almost all the stunts himself, resulting in injuries and hospitalization.
  • When Jay works at Pleasure Pizza, the song Brimful of Asha by Cornershop plays in the background. This part of the film takes place in 1994, but the song was only released in 1997.
  • Michael Apted took over directing for the last three weeks of principal photography due to Curtis Hanson's health issues.
  • During the filming of one scene off the coast of California, Gerard Butler was hit by a wave over six meters high and nearly drowned.
  • Johnny Weston, who played Jay, had no prior experience in filmmaking or even commercial shoots. He submitted a video to a special website advertising a casting call and was accepted.
  • Prior to working on this film, Gerard Butler was at best a beginner surfer. Johnny Weston, on the other hand, had been surfing for about ten years.
