The greatest surf movie ever made. "On any day of the year it is summer somewhere in the world..." Go with Robert August and Mike Hynson as they follow the summer season to Senegal, Ghana, Nigeria, South Africa, Australia, New Zealand, Tahiti, Hawaii and California in search of the perfect wave. Still the ultimate surf film of all time!
The definitive surf movie, this 1966 documentary by Bruce Brown is beautifully shot and thrilling to see in its portrait of youthful freedom on the world's shores. Brown followed two surfers around the globe in their quest for the perfect wave, finding it eventually on a remote beach far from home. The narration by "Big Kahuna Brown" cuts through the reverence a bit, being cheeky in tone. — Tom Keogh

- Awesome movie
- It is not only a fantastic surfing movie; it is a fantastic look at the world in 1968. They couldn't say what they say in this movie today. It would NOT be PC. There is nothing offensive about this movie socially, but the left wing PC'ers of the world would not let these guys describe the world so accurately.
As far as I am concerned, this… More reviews
- The Endless Summeer
- For people who live in a hot summer climate, I live in Texas, this is a classic escape flick. It is a perennial favorite. Two fellows who are well liked, and a great narrator--searching for the perfect wave for their surfing. Where? Around the world. On my computer I found modern day pictures of the fellows. Yes, each had changed from their appearance in the… More reviews
- All Good Summers Must Come To An End
- I suspect everybody has certain movies that became almost mythic for them, even though they never quite got around to seeing them. ENDLESS SUMMER was such a film for me. It debuted in 1966 when I was in junior high school, and, like the BEACH PARTY movies and the motorcycle flicks of the era, it was a film I wanted desperately… More reviews
- Ok video, but not as great as Endless Summer II
- If you get both Endless Summer 1 and 2, be sure to watch 1 first and its a little of a letdown if you want 2 first (because the videography is so much better, and narration alot more humorous in 2) More reviews
- Endless Summer For Bruce Brown - Endless Winter For Me
- This is only one of three surfing movies I have ever paid to see in a movie theater.
I can honestly say that this movie changed my life. I started surfing, and that was the beginning of the end. It directly resulted in my being sent away to military school in Texas. No surfing for 4 years. Good thing I wasn't a senior in high school. (It would… More reviews
