Bruce Brown's The Endless Summer is one of the first and most influential surf movies of all time. The film documents American surfers Mike Hynson and Robert August as they travel the world during California’s winter (which, back in 1965 was off-season for surfing) in search of the perfect wave and ultimately, an endless summer.

this is really what i wanna do all my life. maybe life wouldn’t be so complicated if everyone surfed. that trip was awesome, the waves more than majestic.

This would be an easy 3.5 or 4 if they muted the narrator. That dude is so fucking racist and objectified or belittled all three women who appeared.
