The Endless Summer: The movie every surfer pretends they've watched

Never seen The Endless Summer? Don't worry — after this episode, you'll be able to talk about it like you've watched it three times while wearing zinc and eating a cold musubi in the parking lot. We break down the iconic surf film, the characters, the myth-making, the filmmaking chaos, the $50 round-the-world ticket hack, and the controversy over whether it's even a documentary. Basically: a pocket-sized surf history lesson you can drop into the lineup the next time someone quotes Bruce Brown.
