Reviews

Amazon.co.uk Review
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, Amazon.com

Newsweek
Breathtaking, sweeping and exciting.

5.0 out of 5 stars living the dream, 6 Sep 2003
By MR C OWEN (Penarth, Cardiff United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Endless Summer [DVD] (DVD)
this film/documentary is about two surfers straight out of california living every surfers dream - the endless summer. Travelling to places that have never been surfed before and ripping it up they meet many strange and interesting locals on their travels. Combined with some hilarious commentary this really is worth of all five stars. A must for any surfer or surfer to be.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Surf film EVER, 2 Nov 2004
This review is from: Endless Summer [DVD] (DVD)
I first watched this film on an out door screen on Manly Beach in Australia, with the surf breaking behind me.

The film sums up what surfing is all about. The best line has to be 'You should have been here yesterday'. It seems that where ever the guys travelled to, the surf was always better the day before. If you are into you surfing, this film is a must see!

5.0 out of 5 stars an absolute classic epic surf film, 4 Sep 2006
By J. Raine "jonny raine" (united kingdom) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Endless Summer [DVD] (DVD)
mike hynson and robert august travel the world in search of an endless summer in 1964. and that is it, simply put. travelling to various places including, west africa, south africa, australia, new zealand, tahiti (where there aren't any waves, only things) and of course hawaii! there are plenty of perfectly formed waves and incredibly long rides.

i love the old classic style of this film, both with the style of surfing (all on longboards) and the style of filming. but i think the best feature of this film is the running commentary by bruce brown. it's given with a completely hilarious dead-pan humour style.

any surfer, longboarder or shortboarder, must, i repeat must watch this film.
