Endless Summer followed Californian longboarders Mike Hynson and Robert August chasing summer around the world, surfing in Africa, Australia, New Zealand and strange backwash waves in Tahiti.
Highlight: Discovering Cape Saint Francis, also known as ‘Bruce’s Beauties‘ in South Africa. Hynson and August rode seemingly endless, perfect right handers down the point. All the more important now that the wave no longer breaks as it did in the movie due to large scale development on the nearby dunes.
《无尽之夏》(The Endless Summer)(或译为《漫长夏日》),1966年两个来自加州的年轻人,罗伯特·奥古斯特(Robert August)和迈克·汉森(Mike Hynson),为了找到他们心目中完美的海浪而进行了一次环球旅行。他们的足迹遍布夏威夷、西非直至澳大利亚。
最佳场景:两个年轻人经过长途跋涉终于找到了完美的海浪。虽然很小,但相当完美,而且一浪接一浪,似乎永远不会停息。导演布鲁斯·布朗(Bruce Brown)本人在踩着冲浪板、保持平衡的同时,抱着摄像机拍下了45秒钟的冲浪镜头。此外,一些真正的冲浪选手也参与了该片的拍摄工作。
