Making Waves is an independent film, made on a very small budget, which uses a familiar plot of family discord to showcase one of the most popular spectator sports in the rest of the world, not including the United States: Personal Water Craft (PWC's). We tend to call them Jet Skiis or Sea Doos. The film was shot entirely on location in Florida, on some of the most beautiful beaches in the world. While the plot is familiar and the acting is okay, the PWC footage was shot with real professional skiers and much of it was taken during actually races in Florida and at Arizona's Lake Havasu. Cinematographer Bob Scott (a top sports film shooter) shot the race sequences and if for nothing else, if you are a jet ski racing fan, see the film for those shots, which there are many through out the film.

The only problem is finding a copy of this movie. The Screen Actors Guild stole the film through a law suit and has sat on it ever since it was finished, so it's never been released on DVD. But there are some "bootleg" copies floating around, if you can find them. Good luck!
