1 big shot they blew (goofy or regular?)

This film had a lot more real surfing shots that many other mainstream surfing flicks, but they blew the biggest shot of the movie. When she finally gets her big wave at pipe in the end, they show her riding regular stance, then when they show a close up in the barrel, she's riding goofy, facing the wave. They *beep* that one up big time.

Obviously did that to hide the stunt double's face as much as possible.

The blown shot is the climactic Pipe ride where they CGI'd Bosworth's face over the double's. They did the best they could but in a couple of spots it looks really fake.
