Hang Ten at LA's Point Break Live
"If you want the ultimate, you've got to be willing to pay the ultimate price." So says Point Break's sage surf philosopher Bodhi, played by the late, great Patrick Swayze.

The long-running show is exactly what the title states: a live reenactment of 1991's FBI thriller-meets-surf adventure, with Swayze's Bodhi playing opposite Keanu Reeves' rookie agent (and rookie surf dude).
