- The Endless Summer ist einer der ersten und einflussreichsten Surf-Filme und erschuf damit eine eigene Filmkategorie, welche sich seit seiner Veröffentlichung im Jahr 1966 bis heute erhalten und weiterentwickelt hat. Produzent Bruce Brown folgt zwei Surfern, Mike Hynson und Robert August, auf eine Surfreise um die ganze Welt. Trotz des milden Klimas in ihrer Heimat Kalifornien machen kalte Meeresströmungen die dortigen Strände im Winter ungastlich. So reisen sie an die Strände Afrikas, Australiens, Neuseelands, Tahitis und Hawaiis auf der Suche nach neuen Surfspots und führen dabei Einheimische in den Sport ein. Andere wichtige Surfer dieser Zeit, wie etwa Miki Dora, Phil Edwards und Butch Van Artsdalen, tauchen auch in diesem Film auf. Der Titel basiert auf dem Ende des Filmes, der ausdrückt, dass es möglich wäre, dem Sommer um die ganze Welt zu folgen, wenn man genug Zeit und Geld hat, und ihn so endlos zu machen. Das Konzept des Filmes entstand durch den Vorschlag eines Reiseberaters gegenüber Bruce Brown während der Planung der Drehorte des Films. Der Reiseberater merkte an, dass der Flug von Los Angeles nach Kapstadt und zurück fünfzig Dollar mehr kosten würde, als eine Reise rund um die Welt. So kam Bruce auf die Idee, dem Sommer über den ganzen Globus zu folgen. Die erzählerische Präsentation bewegt sich weg von der steifen und formellen Dokumentation der 50er und frühen 60er Jahre hin zu einem zwanglosen und lebensfrohen Stil, angereichert mit gerissenem Humor. Der Surf-Rock Soundtrack des Filmes wurde von The Sandals geliefert. Das Motiv „Theme to the Endless Summer“ wurde von Gaston Georis und John Blakeley von The Sandals geschrieben. Es wurde zum bekanntesten Filmmotiv des Surf-Film Genres. Als der Film das erste Mal gezeigt wurde, regte er viele Surfer dazu an, ins Ausland zu gehen. Dies war die Geburt der „Surf-und-Reise“-Kultur, welche darauf zielt, abseits der Massen zu surfen, neue Leute kennenzulernen und die perfekte Welle zu reiten. Außerdem machte es den Sport, der außerhalb von Hawaii und den Polynesischen Inseln bekannt wurde, an Orten, wie Kalifornien und Australien einem breiten Publikum zugänglich. Weiterhin prägte es den Stil späterer Surf-Reise-Filme, zu denen Momentum, (These Are) Better Days, und Thicker Than Water zählen. 2002 wurde The Endless Summer von der amerikanischen Library of Congress als „kulturell, historisch oder ästhetisch besonders herausragend“ in die National Film Registry aufgenommen.
- The Endless Summer is a seminal 1966 surf movie. Director Bruce Brown follows two surfers, Mike Hynson and Robert August, on a surfing trip around the world. Despite the balmy climate of their native California, cold ocean currents make local beaches inhospitable during the winter. They travel to the coasts of Africa, Australia, New Zealand, Tahiti and Hawaii in a quest for new surf spots and introduce locals to the sport. Other important surfers of the time, such as Miki Dora, Eugene Harris, Phil Edwards and Butch Van Artsdalen, also appear. Its title comes from the idea, expressed at both the beginning and end of the film, that if one had enough time and money it would be possible to follow the summer around the world, making it endless. The concept of the film was born through the suggestion of a travel agent to Bruce Brown during the planning stages of the film. The travel agent suggested that the flight from Los Angeles to Cape Town, South Africa and back would cost $50 more than a trip circumnavigating the world. After which, Bruce came up with the idea of following the summer season by traveling around the world. The narrative presentation eases from the stiff and formal documentary of the 1950s and early 1960s to a more casual and fun-loving personal style filled with sly humor. The surf-rock soundtrack to the film was provided by The Sandals. The "Theme to the Endless Summer" was written by Gaston Georis and John Blakeley of the Sandals. It has become one of the best known film themes in the surf movie genre. When the movie was first shown, it encouraged many surfers to go abroad, giving birth to the "surf-and-travel" culture, which prizes finding "uncrowded surf", meeting new people and riding the perfect wave. It also introduced the sport, which had become popular outside of Hawaii and the Polynesian Islands in places like California and Australia, to a broader audience. In addition, it set the style for later surf-and-travel movies, including Momentum, (These Are) Better Days, and Thicker Than Water. In 2002, The Endless Summer was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant".

Le réalisateur Bruce Brown y suit deux surfeurs, Mike Hynson et Robert August, lors d'un voyage autour du monde à la découverte des meilleures vagues et d'un été sans fin. Les deux protagonistes visitent les côtes du Sénégal, du Ghana, de l'Afrique du Sud, de l'Australie, de la Nouvelle-Zélande, de Tahiti et d'Hawaii avant de retourner en Californie. En 2002, la Bibliothèque du Congrès américain décide de sa conservation au Registre national du film du fait de son "importance culturelle, historique, ou esthétique".
- The Endles Summer is een Amerikaanse documentaire uit 1967 onder regie van Bruce Brown. De regisseur volgde professionele surfers Mike Hynson en Robert August op een reis rond de wereld op zoek naar de beste surfplek. Hierbij komen ze onder andere terecht in Australië, Afrika, Californië, Nieuw-Zeeland, Tahiti en Hawaï en ontmoeten ze bekende namen binnen hun sport. De film was een groot succes en wordt gezien als het begin van een nieuw filmgenre, genaamd de surffilm, die gedurende de rest van de jaren zestig erg populair bleef. In 1994 maakte Brown een vervolg op de film genaamd The Endless Summer II. Ook bracht Dana Brown, de dochter van Bruce Brown, in 2000 een speciale editie van de film uit genaamd The Endless Summer revisited en maakte ze drie jaar later een eigen surfdocumentaire genaamd Step Into Liquid, die soms wordt beschouwd als een tweede vervolg op de film. In 2002 werd de film toegevoegd aan het National Film Registry.
