I’m guessing the draw for “Chasing Mavericks” is the surfing. Professionals are calling the water scenes the real thing. It’s unclear where they stand on the rest of the movie. Hungering for competently photographed, orchestrated, and edited surfing shots is one thing. Most movies chop unevenly between real actors and their stunt doubles, between handsome long shots and unconvincing close-ups. When “Chasing Mavericks” cuts away to a concerned or elated reaction, it’s usually after a long shot of a real body on a board on a wave.
