Réalisé en 1966, The Endless Summer est sans aucun doute le film le plus culte autour de la pratique du surf et de sa philosophie. Suivant deux surfeurs à travers le monde (Ghana, Australie, Tahiti, Hawaï,...etc) Bruce Brown dépeint une génération respirant la joie de vivre, l'insouciance d'une époque pourtant marqué par la guerre du Vietnam comme cela pût être traité par John Milius dans, son non moins incontournable surf movie, Big Wednesday.
