They call it The Endless Summer the ultimate surfing adventure, crossing the globe in search of the perfect wave. From the uncharted waters of West Africa, to the shark-filled seas of Australia, to the tropical paradise of Tahiti and beyond, these California surfers accomplish in a few months what most people never do in a lifetime...They live their dream. Director Bruce Brown creates a film so powerful it has become a timeless masterpiece that continues to capture the imagination of every new generation. When it first played in theaters, audiences lined up to see it again and again, spellbound by its thrilling excitement and awesome photography. But in fact, what's most compelling about the film is the sport of surfing itself, and once you've seen it, you'll never forget why.
Leave your thoughts about The Endless Summer.
| San Francisco ChronicleJef RounerThe genius of the movie is that it seeks to do no more than record an escape from the burdens of the real world. |
| Rolling StoneNoel MurrayThe greatest surfing picture of all time, this unassuming piece of counterculture anthropology is so likable that it had kids around the world buying boards and heading to the California coast in search of the perfect barrel. |
| New York PostLinda StasiBruce Brown’s 1966 documentary, perhaps the greatest surfing movie ever made, follows California surfers as they travel the globe in search of the perfect wave. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertShunning the tons of equipment ordinarily taken along on location, Brown used only what he could carry. The beautiful photography he brought home almost makes you wonder if Hollywood hasn't been trying too hard. |
| Video-Reviewmaster.comSteve CrumPremier surfing documentary by Bruce Brown. |
| eFilmCritic.comScott WeinbergA lot more intriguing than any "surfing documentary" oughtta be. |
| Arizona RepublicWilliam J. NazzaroAs with a great silent film, one gets the picture just by watching the pictures, and the film is as good with the sound off as it is with it on. |
| Slant MagazineChris CabinTrue to its title, The Endless Summer exudes a blissful, mellow buzz that could easily be misconstrued as lazy or innocuous filmmaking. |
| The New York TimesRobert AldenHappily, the viewer is not asked to ponder profundities very often—just to have fun. |
| Caution SpoilersSarah CartlandA laid-back golden haze, a soundtrack of 60s summer tunes. The jokey racism and leering camera now grate; the surfing is still spectacular as two men, genuinely curious about the places they visit, travel the world in search of a perfect wave. |
