I agree with chesire. On Disney wiki it says he is 15 and if I remember correctly during the movie surfer coverage, they said he was 15 as well. I’ve only seen one other place where it says he is 17, but I don’t think it was a reliable source.
(as deckdarcie) I've never read anything that says how old he is, but watching the movie, I always got the impression that he was about 17. For one thing, most of the movie takes place 12 years after it shows him as a child, which would mean that he was 2 in the begining if he was 15 later. He looked very old for a two year old. Not to say that he couldn't be, but I've never met a 2 year old that talks or acts like that. Maybe that's just me. So whether he really is supposed to be 15 or not, in my mind (and those of my sisters), Jim is 17.

I agree with you on this one. I always thought he was about 17 and was confused the first time I heard he was 15.
