The Endless Summer, the surfing legend

Endless Summer! At the end of the sixties, a formidable spiral of change and protest will shake Western societies. Surfing, which also rejects all forms of authority and rules, is at the origin of many of these changes. Travel, various experiences, rock, the use of narcotics as well as the search for the perfect wave will become the foundations of this true counter-culture that is Soul Surfing .

“The Endless Summer” is without a doubt the most famous and important surf film of all time. This quest for the endless summer experienced by two young Californians will push thousands of surfers and non-surfers onto the roads. To discover other countries, other peoples and therefore new experiences. Through rare photos and unpublished stories, spots and music, stories and iconic characters. The Endless Summer, The Legend of Surfing, traces a formidable social and cultural adventure: that of “surf culture”. Enter the legend!
