The Endless Summer

Rating:
Summary: Ahhh! How Relaxing!
Review: Yes, this movie dates to 1966. Some of it shows. However, much of it is of surprising quality for such a time difference. There is a lot of surfing footage and none of it is commercialized like it is today -- just pure summer fun. The soundtrack was not fantastic, like I had heard, but it was very soothing and appropriate (which is MUCH better than a lot of the thrashing today when it is out of character with particular scenes -- thrash IS appropriate in some cases, but NOT ALL of them!). If you love surfing or bodyboarding, get this movie and watch the whole thing. All of it is entertaining, but the parts in the middle may be of more interest to most viewers.
