Endless Summer
Following summer around the globe, searching for the “perfect wave,” Endless Summer is a joyous experience of surfing, travel adventures, wildlife and gorgeous photography. Michael Hynson and Robert August leave California and head for Hawaii, Africa, Australia, New Zealand and Tahiti, surfboards in tow. Bruce Brown, the director, photographer, writer, producer and narrator, used only the camera equipment he could carry to capture the events. He shows us some extraordinary “wave chasing” by local surfers in a variety of locations. They head for the previously un-surfed waters of Western Africa, where no one had ever seen a surfboard. They brave the sharkinfested waters of Australia. The scenes at the iconic “Pipeline” on the North Shore of Oahu, Hawaii, are breathtaking.
This movie is a time capsule of cultural significance—it still holds up today.
