Endless Summer Box Set

In commemoration of the 50th anniversary of the release of the iconic documentary film "The Endless Summer" from 1966, a special box set and book were created to celebrate its enduring legacy. The documentary, which features two California surfers, Mike Hynson and Robert August, traveling the world in search of the perfect wave, is now considered a classic in the surfing community. It is also credited with changing American culture, as it introduced surfing to a wider audience and sparked a global interest in the sport.

 The box set includes a restored version of the original film, along with a wealth of extras, such as outtakes, interviews, and commentary from the filmmakers and surfers who were featured in the documentary. The accompanying book, written by Dana Brown, son of the famous filmmaker and surfing legend Bruce Brown, provides a detailed behind-the-scenes look at the making of the film, along with rare photos, stories, and insights from those involved in creating this iconic piece of cinema.

 The Endless Summer documentary film is now part of the Smithsonian American History Museum's collection, where it is considered an important artifact of American cultural history. It continues to inspire and influence generations of surfers and moviegoers alike, and this special box set and book provide a wonderful tribute to its impact and legacy.
