Directed by Bruce Brown • 1966 • United States

The definitive surfing documentary, Bruce Brown’s sun-kissed cinematic dream follows California beach bums Mike Hynson and Robert August on a round-the-world odyssey that takes them from Australia to Tahiti to Hawaii to Senegal to South Africa and beyond in search of the perfect wave and their own private paradise. With its postcard-perfect cinematography amid glittering coasts, supremely chill vibes, and surf-rock soundtrack, THE ENDLESS SUMMER is the ultimate ode to the blissed-out, wave-chasing lifestyle.
