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.
《無盡之夏》(The Endless Summer)(或譯為《漫長(zhǎng)夏日》),1966年兩個(gè)來自加州的年輕人,羅伯特·奧古斯特(Robert August)和邁克·漢森(Mike Hynson),為了找到他們心目中完美的海浪而進(jìn)行了一次環(huán)球旅行。他們的足跡遍布夏威夷、西非直至澳大利亞。
最佳場(chǎng)景:兩個(gè)年輕人經(jīng)過長(zhǎng)途跋涉終于找到了完美的海浪。雖然很小,但相當(dāng)完美,而且一浪接一浪,似乎永遠(yuǎn)不會(huì)停息。導(dǎo)演布魯斯·布朗(Bruce Brown)本人在踩著沖浪板、保持平衡的同時(shí),抱著攝像機(jī)拍下了45秒鐘的沖浪鏡頭。此外,一些真正的沖浪選手也參與了該片的拍攝工作。
