Terrific photography. Late last night was surprised to see the classic Endless Summer ('66) on some cable channel. Made me think how far today's photographers and surfers have come, amazing talent and brave!!

Groovy Scott!
You can thank Tweez for the thread....and I agree....(next to the DOG & MUSIC thread of course) it's the best thread on PPOT!
Yes surf photography has indeed come a loooong way. It's incredible what can be - and what is being done now.
Regarding "The Endless Summer" - that classic will always be....well a classic. Bruce Brown had his own way of creating a movie which above all translated into entertainment. That is what set that movie apart from most others - the writing and creativity in production. Of course the overall theme was a very unique one - groundbreaking in many ways....
There's another movie he made about motorcycle riding you may enjoy called "On Any Sunday". Here's one of my fav. segments:
BTW....the soundtrack is by the same group from "The Endless Summer" - The Sandals. And you'll recognize the narration by Bruce Brown....
I hope you'll get a chance to watch it one day. Thanks for your post!!!
