Thanks for watching

Grew up in Hermosa Beach..mother worked at the Lighthouse..all these historical names bring back memories of young youth and fond memories..a different era and time. I reflect from time to time when I see "The Endless Summer" framed poster in my cabana. Absolutely "bitchin" times. And thanks to Bruce and all for the great visuals.

Endless Summer 2 is just as thrilling and wonderful as the ES 1, each representing the best of surfing of the time. Both masterpieces in my opinion. Thank you BB.

Endless Summer was a masterpiece

I was 10 years old in Phoenix AZ in 1968. Some friends and I went to a theater and saw The Endless Summer. I remember thinking, "I want to do that!" 2 years later my family moved to San Diego, I bought a used 10' 2" Con and surfed every chance I got from then on!

This is great! I'm 62 and first stepped on a board in 1965 at killer Dana point. All the names here I remember from my boyhood . Thanks Bruce Brown!

Killer Dana. Then the breakwater. Lordy.

Bruce if you ever read this message....I'm stoked you made the 2nd endless summer. I've watched it over 200 times and never get sick of it. Thank you for giving me something to always inspire happy times and a laugh at your comments. Best movie ever :)

Truly is one of the best pieces of media, completely timeless and infinitely rewatchable.

I saw "Endless Summer" in January 1965 at Santa Barbara High School with Bruce Brown narrating. With a good swell running at an uncrowded Rincon. I was 13 and couldn't even drive a car. Mom had to take us to the beach and pick us up later.

@@ricksoden6838 Totally awesome. I was born 1951 so I was 13 at that show. My mom had to drive us to Santa Barbara High. I lived up on Hot Springs Road so I could ride bikes to Hammonds and Miramar but had to be driven to Rincon. Usually uncrowded but I could only surf the Cove on my 9'2"Yater.

@@ricksoden6838 Smart move. I moved to Santa Cruz '75 and then Half Moon Bay '89. Saw the whole Mavericks thing go down (watching safely from shore). Now I live in Taranaki, New Zealand. So glad to be out of California. The place has really gone to hell compared to 1965.

Awesome guy this film gave me and my buddies the stoke to keep searching for 40 years, carry on...

How can anyone not dig Endless Summer II? It's fantastic, with the same understated mastery behind the camera that allows those in front of the camera to shine. No hype, no overblown drama, just the relaxed humor, wit, incisive eye, and love for the water with which most of us approach surfing. It's a gas, man!

0:39 ah the beaver tail... todays groms would'nt know what that came from lol. I began surfing in the early seventies and borrowed a diving wetsuit from my friend Jack Rojas. Thanks Jack! My surf buddies and I would go to the old movie theatre in Huntington Beach and the filmmaker would narrate the surf movie and give away free wax and sometimes a leash. Good times!

Was at a Newport Bech Wedge surf crew party around 1983 where Bruce came and showed some old Wedge bodysurfing footage, everybody was howling at seeing film of The Wedge they never seen before because nobody filmed the Wedge much.

Endless summer 2 is a fine movie. But the OG is truly iconic. One of the greatest things ever done on a screen. I would put north shore right up there. Both movies should be made more available these days imo.

Thanks so much for this. Got to meet Bruce at a motorcycle show in Long Beach, 2003-ish? Sweet guy.

Aaand there are several in this one,thanks Bruce ( you right: you guys scored in SA!)

Long story, short life. What else, but living the life!!!😊

Downey California. We have so much Surf tech history. 1935 Gerald Vultee and Duke kahanamoku made first hollow board which was at San Clamente surf museum now its at Smithsonian’s history museum. Vultee become Rockefeller , then NASA, we still have Vultee building still standing, I tried to make surf museum, they laughed at me, but I know my surf history. Then, 1960. The gidget movies. Phil surfboard made all the surfboards for the movie. Southgate , General Veneer sold balsa wood to velzy and hobbies. I meet the wonder we talked story.

I love how dude has dress up clothes on with thongs on lol

I don’t recommend surfeiting to anyone who doesn’t understand the ocean currents and tides and how to swim extensively well.

Bruce Messed up Surfing. Kook.
