Surf's Up is a 2007 American animated stop-motion mockumentary comedy film directed by Ash Brannon and Chris Buck, and written by Brannon, Buck, Don Rhymer and Chris Jenkins. The film features the voices of Shia LaBeouf, Jeff Bridges, Zooey Deschanel, Jon Heder, and James Woods. It is a parody of surfing documentaries, such as The Endless Summer and Riding Giants, with parts of the plot parodying North Shore. Real-life surfers Kelly Slater and Rob Machado have vignettes as their penguin surfer counterparts. To obtain the desired hand-held documentary feel, the film's animation team motion-captured a physical camera operator's moves.
