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 |

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 be interesting to see how badly California college enrollment dropped in the fall of 1966.)
I have owned this movie in every format since it came out. I can watch it today with the same pleasure that I did when it was first released 40 years ago. It is a timeless classic.
It also started US Surfing Imperialism; so now, no matter where in the world you go to catch waves, someone has already been there. |

A Piece of Sports History |
The coolest thing about this video has got to be the fact that it is both timeless as well as informative about a specific time period. As many reviewers have said the narrator is extremely funny. The comments he makes about the time period are, in retrospect, really interesting and telling about a very specific time period and how the surfers featured perceive international cultures at the time.
If you're remotely interested in surfing or the time period, please do your self a favor and check out this video. It's really cool and you'll develop a deeper love for timeless sports and summer activities. Simply terrific! |

Awesome surfer classic - love life! |
A classic surfer bum adventure. If you ever wanted to chuck it all and live life to the fullest, you should enjoy this movie. It follows some young guys bumming around the world and surfing remote spots around the globe.
I originally saw this movie as a young teen girl in southern california in the 70s and the memory of this movie has always stuck with me.
It's a classic as is the pipeline sequence soundtrack that accompanies it.
Enjoy... |
