Plot: While Bruce Brown had been making films about surfing since the late 1950s, The Endless Summer was his first film to receive a nationwide release; it was also the first serious cinematic look at the sport to click with a mass audience. In his narration, Brown muses that if someone had enough time and money, they could literally follow the summer around the globe, and so Brown and two of his surfing buddies, Robert August and Mike Henson, decide to do just that. With their surfboards as luggage, August and Henson travel from one coastline to the next, trying the waves in Hawaii, Africa, Australia, Tahiti, and a number of other nations where most folks had never even seen a surfboard before. Along the way, August and Henson learn a lot about people around the world, and grow up a bit while they search for the elusive perfect wave. The Endless Summer also features a great surf-rock score by The Sandals. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

Endless Pleasure from Endless Summer
Added 9/19/2009

This classic is timeless. My 10-year-old grandson has fallen in love with the ocean, so I bought this for him -- he adored it, and said, "You should have been here yesterday" (a recurring tag line) for days afterwards.

It is the story of a surfer's search for the perfect wave, told in an easy, humorous Sixties style that is captivating. As they travel to one country after another around the world, each vignette is more amusing than the next. Oddities like "Ins and Outs" where the waves break on the shore and then form waves as they recede is a hoot as the surfers ride them both ways. Brown's laid back narration and sly humor just make watching the movie one long smile. When they finally find the perfect wave(s) at Cape St. Francis, South Africa, you have to laugh out loud. Buy this movie for yourself and for your kids, watch it together.

Endless Summer is the classic surf video. Good clean fun and two surfers living the ultimate travel and surf dream. Welcome relief from the same ol' crazy CG movies of today.

When fun was the object

This is a most enjoyable time machine trip back into a more innocent era. The theme instrumental, by the Sandals always puts me into a trance state...a dream-like mix of youth, sun, ocean and carefree days. Bruce Brown's humorous narration allows even non-surfers to enjoy watching this.

An enjoyable revisit to a classic.

This DVD is excellent. The quality was better than expected. I saw this movie when it was orginally released in 1966, and it was better than i remembered it to be. it arrived on time and in the condition it was described to be.
