I didn't think it was possible to make a boring surf movie, but Jack McCoy managed it. The premise of "A Deeper Shade of Blue" is a good one: the history of the evolution of surfing from its roots in Hawaii.
I always turn to any channel that has anything about the ocean on, so this movie hooked me without having to try. I wasn't watching the surfers so much as the large amounts of screen time the ocean got, as well as the magnificent scenery.
