In the midst of their world tour before the May 17 release date, stars Zachary Quinto, Chris Pine, and Karl Urban looked stoked to pose with director J.J. Abrams and real-life Australian lifeguard(!) Dean Gladstone alongside their new boards at Bondi Beach in Sydney, Australia. We see some epic barrels in the Enterprise's future.
