The Endless Summer ()
Sunset, San Clemente, California, January 2021.
The Endless Summer is an influential 1966 American surf documentary film by Bruce Brown. The film follows California surfers Mike Hynson & Robert August on a surfing trip around the world. They travel to the coasts of Australia, New Zealand, Tahiti, Hawaii, Senegal, Ghana, Nigeria and South Africa in a quest for surf spots while introducing locals to surfing along the way. The film made the then little known break off Cape St. Francis in South Africa world famous by characterizing it as having the “perfect wave.”
The narrative differs from the typical documentary style of the 1950s & early 1960s, with its casual, fun-loving and personal style. The film's surf rock soundtrack by The Sandals (San Clemente, California) features a theme song that became a classic, as did the film’s movie poster. In 2002, The Endless Summer was selected for preservation in the US National Film Registry by the Library of Congress. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Endless_Summer
