Big Wednesday filming location...
Do the concrete steps leading down to the beach featured in the movie (plus the graffitti covered slabs) exist or is this just a made up set ?
shareI believe these were created for the movie. Fantastic.
shareIt was a set made to look like "The Ranch" in Malibu California. A well known surf spot.
shareActually as far as I know there were two identical sets made for this. I believe the one that was used was at The Bixby Ranch (some people say it was at Cojo Point on the Hollister Ranch? I believe Cojo is really close to the border of both Hollister and Bixby ranches, but again- not certain. My memory is pretty fallible.) and I thought one was in Costa Rica and the footage from there never got used? I recall hearing that story but the memory is pretty hazy and I may be wrong.

Oh yeah- it was made to look like the wall at Malibu. "The Ranch" is the casual reference to the Hollister Ranch.

I've surfed up and down the California coast and I think I have a pretty good idea where some of the locations for filming might be. If anyone knows of any exact locations, please post here or shoot me an e-mail. I'll be heading up the coast this weekend with my camera.

"The Ranch" is in Malibu. I think it would be nearly impossible to spot the exact location. A set was made, as you probably know, just for the movie!
It would be fun and kind of nostalgic to see it though.
A lot of the surf sequences were done in Nicaragua or El Salvador (I cant recall which, but one or the other.) Also a some of it was borrowed from some of Freeman & MacGillevray's existing footage from (Five Summer Stories?)

does anybody have any pics of those concrete steps leading down to the beach?
share"The Ranch" is actually north of Malibu, and West of Santa Barbara. About an hour or so from Malibu.
The term refers to the Hollister Ranch, which is also the source of the fashion line name.
It is located between Conception Pointe and Gaviota State Park.
As noted, a famed surf spot. Difficult to access, because it's private land. But people can access the coast up to the high-tide line during low tide.
