Surfing is the only thing to do for high school students Chuck and Bob who are in preparation for the big surf competition. However, their fathers, sales reps for a new soda named Buzzz Cola, disapprove of surfing as a whole. Everything is going swell until the area’s surfing population start getting kidnapped by Menlo, a vengeful nerd turned mad scientist, with a particular vengeance aimed at surfers. Using Buzzz Cola, Menlo has begun turning surfers into brain dead zombies, with the aid of his assistant, Sparkle. Can Chuck and Bob thwart his evil master plan in time to save the surfing competition?
A completely wild and thoroughly unhinged comedy that manages to integrate slapstick humor, surreal sight gags, horror and sci-fi elements, T&A, as well as having possibly served as an influence to the most famous animated TV series in history, Randall Badat’s one of a kind and completely bonkers gem, SURF II (The End of a Trilogy) stars Eddie Deezen (Grease, War Games), Lyle Waggoner (TV’s Wonder Woman), Linda Kerridge (Fade to Black), Terry Kiser (Tammy & the T-Rex), and Eric Stoltz (Back to the Future, Pulp Fiction), in one of his earliest roles. Never released on disc, Vinegar Syndrome brings SURF II to Blu-ray, newly restored from long lost 35mm elements and presented both in its commonly seen theatrical version as well as in its unreleased and radically different original director’s cut.

"Another enjoyable Vinegar Syndrome title I’d never heard of. Great transfer! Also, loved the booklet and alternative slipcover."
"Surf 2 is complete with tons of titties, insane antics and a classic punk soundtrack. Movies this over the top and outrageous are extinct in this era. There is a surf contest and lots of pure 80's havoc and chaos until the movie ends. Punks in this period are not portrayed in the most positive light. But Surf 2 gets a pass as this is wild and crazy entertainment of the highest order. This is completely hilarious and cocaine induced insanity that won't have you care that there is no Surf I."
"This movie is so funny. It’s basically everything you could want from a gonzo 80s surf movie."
"This straight up comedy is extremely '80s, and is exactly what it wants to be."
"Decent summer comedy, restoration is great and I love the original slipcover"
"A radical beach movie with an alternate slipcover"
"Wow if you like 80s comedy you don’t want to miss this one!"
"This was a rough watch for me, as the humor never quite landed enough to justify a rewatch or recommendation. That said, Vinegar Syndrome went all‑in with an impressively exhaustive set of special features, and the film itself looks and sounds excellent. While it wasn’t my thing, fans of the movie are absolutely in for a treat."
"I just couldn't get into this one. The actors are mediocre, the story is too stretched to be funny. The presentation from VS is great, but the movie itself is just boring."
"Where’s surf 1"
