Surf’s Up 2: WaveMania will be distributed by Sony Pictures Home Entertainment with WWE Studios providing marketing support. ...

Henry Yu (story artist on Sym-Bionic Titan and both Hotel Transylvanias) makes his directorial debut on Surf'sw Up II, which is produced by Michelle Wong (production manager on Hotel Transylvania 2) and features computer animation from Rainmaker Entertainment Inc.
