surfertoday.com - The untold story behind the 'Theme from The Endless Summer'
"The Endless Summer" is the marquee example of a film made for surfers that went on to have phenomenal crossover success when distributed nationally in 1966.
The premise of the film is simple: two surfers travel around the world following summer in search of waves (never mind that the best waves are always in the other three seasons).
Part documentary travelogue, part quest for the perfect wave, part buddy film, it is peppered with comedic moments and is carried along by Brown's trademark wry narrative and, of course, a fine musical soundtrack.
Brown made his first film in 1958 before surfing had gained mainstream popularity.
