Line 14:
{{tropelist}}
* [[Actor Allusion]]: Dozens, maybe hundreds of then. This film is built on a firm foundation of actor allusions and [[Shout-Out]]s.
* [[As Himself]]: [[Dick Dale]], [[Stevie Ray Vaughn]], [[Fishbone]] and [[Pee-wee Herman]] (in one of his very first film appearances).
* [[Big Lipped Alligator Moment]]: [[Pee-wee Herman]] sweeping onto the beach, singing "Surfing Bird", and sweepingthen backflying outaway againon a surfboard afterward.
* [[Chroma Key]]: Knowingly used in imitation of the original beach films' "surfing" footage; lampshaded when someone comments on how Annette made it all the way back to shore without getting her bathing suit or her hair wet.
* [[Crowd Song]]: Some of the musical numbers turn into this.
Line 47:
* [[Surf Rock]]: Absolutely unavoidable in this film, especially since the patron saint of surf rock, [[Dick Dale]], does an entire number with Frankie.
* [[Surfer Dude]]: Frankie is Ye Originale Surfer Dude, and naturally the rest of the cast is lousy with them.
* [[Totally Radical]]: Some of the current surfer types come across this way.
** Deliberately invoked by [[Pee-wee Herman]] during his performance of "Surfing Bird".
* [[Vomit Indiscretion Shot]]: Frankie prompts the passengers of an entire plane to immediately throw up into their air sickness bags when the mention of his daughter's name sends him into a recitation of his overly-cute pet names for her.
* [[Who Names Their Kid "Dude"?]]: Frankie wanted to name Bobby "Little Kahuna", bur apparently Annette talked him out of it.
