- Synopsis:
- The definitive surf movie, Bruce Brown's iconic documentary follows two young American surfers, Robert August and Mike Hynson, as they search the globe for 'the perfect wave'. Stunningly photographed, their unique quest takes them from California to Senegal, Ghana, Nigeria, South Africa, Australia, New Zealand, Tahiti and Hawaii with little more than surfboards and wax as luggage. Perfectly capturing the art and essence of surfing - the passion, dedication and simple joy of 'living the dream' - the film was an immediate cult hit on release and continues to inspire all those searching for their own 'Endless Summer'.

Surf, Sun, and a Side of Condescension - The Endless Summer review by griggs
The Endless Summer is a time capsule of the 1960s surfing scene—sun-drenched beaches, perfect waves, and that ever-hopeful pursuit of the endless ride. The film wins you over with gorgeous visuals, an infectious soundtrack, and a real love for its subject. The corny, but dry humour from the voiceover adds charm at first, but its dated, paternalistic, condescending and patronising tone—especially when discussing African cultures—grates. Unless you're big on surfing, this is more a nostalgic curio than essential viewing. Still, worth a look.
