Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2007
Cowabunga!
That's all I really have to say on this topic. Enjoy the pictures...
It's completely CGI apparently. This can only be a good thing, as the costumes in the last movie (released way back in 1993) were let's face it, pretty shocking.

What is the derivation of the word "cowabunga"? I have always associated it with surfers/surfing. Strangely, my 5 year old and I wear watching cartoons and one of the characters said "cowabunga" I believed it was in a spongebob cartoon. He asked me about it, and now Ryan titles a post cowabunga. I think the surf gods are trying to, like, tell me somethin, tottally tubular, ya know, like dude.
Jeff, the origins for me come from the Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles Cartoon on TV from 1987-1996. It was renamed to "Hero Turtles" due to the Ninja part being "too violent" apparently. The turtle named Michaelangelo used to shout Cowabunga every time something exciting happened to him, such as surfing sewer waves (I know!), or skatboarding, or jumping from a high place, etc. The other Turtles would say it too, thus forming a kind of catch phrase for the Turtles.
You'd be right to associate it with surfing, as the it was used in the 1960s surfer culture as an expression of exhileration when riding a wave.
However, the actual origins of the word, according to Wikipedia:
The word evolved from "kawabonga'" a word used by the character Chief Thunderthud on the United States children's television program Howdy Doody in the 1950s. "Kawagoopa" meant "good", and "kawabonga" meant "bad".
