When Big Wednesday comes, a trio of former “hot dog” surfers re-unite for one last big wave. Matt Johnson (Jan-Michael Vincent) was the hottest surfer on the beach that all the rest looked up to. He and his responsible buddy, Jack Barlow (Willam Katt), and his not so responsible buddy Leroy Smith (Gary Busey) ruled the beach in their younger days. The film follows them in the 1960’s & 1970’s as they attempt to dodge the draft (except Barlow) and earn a living. Reb Brown is “The Enforcer” who runs around shirtless tossing out party crashers.
