Yes, it was cringe-worthy and completely unnecessary.   I read about it before 
seeing it, and was *so* grateful that we saw mostly just his feet, not a 
full-fledged surfer dude!  I suppose Harry, having seen surfers on muggle TV, 
would be more likely to think of such a strategy than the teammates raised in 
the wizarding world. 

I do hope that in CoS, Kloves and Columbus include more of the original dry-ish 
humor, and less of such American-style dramatic hijinks.
