Nicolas Cage stars in the film “The Surfer,” where he plays an unnamed businessman returning to his Australian hometown to fulfill his dream of buying back his childhood beach house. Despite the title, Cage’s character doesn’t do much surfing on screen due to the storyline involving local bullies. Cage expressed his desire to film a surf scene similar to one from “Big Wednesday” but faced challenges in mastering the sport, including limited time for training and unfavorable weather conditions. Despite past surfing mishaps, Cage remains determined to pursue his dream of retiring to surf, drink red wine, and eat spaghetti.
