The Endless Summer is probably my all-time favorite movie (I usually enjoy watching it with Endless Summer II & Endless Summer Revisited in one marathon session). The theme of two guys crossing the globe in search of the perfect wave is a classic. The raw, unrefined ("home movie-ish") surf footage makes you feel like you were there. The film itself is a snapshot of the early days of surfing and is a stark contrast to todays more polished sport. I particularly enjoy seeing the now famous surf spots before they were over-run and when surfers both feared & respected them. The surfing is great for the era, the humor is light if a bit corny, and the scenery is not to be missed. Buy this movie if you want to see what surfing was really like in 1966. Annette & Frankie are not here!
