The surfer from Ventura is not alone in his retro surfing adventures. Superheroes Craig Anderson, Taylor Knox, Noa Deane and Nat Young join Reynolds in the quest for the world's emptiest surf breaks. The soundtrack for "Loaded" matches the film's look and style. Forget slow motions and immaculate wetsuits.
