    I'm 62 and saw this movie when I was a young kid. So magical. The music is unforgettable. Takes you to the beach at sunset, your body tired from surfing all day, your body radiatinf heat from soaking up the sun for 12 hours. The sand in your sandals. A cold beer in your hand. And watching the sun dip below the horizon. And time stood still.

    I was fifteen years old in 1965. Started surfing with a Hobie 7' 8" board. This was in Ocean City, Md. This song brings back many memories of days gone by. Surfed for over thirty years. RIP Bruce.

      Sad how Ocean City Md. has become, Crime and gang fights on the Boardwalk. Was a Great place to go on vacation. Miss those days during the 60s and 70's.

    The day I saw the movie and heard the song stands out in my mind like it was yesterday. I was in 6th grade. I'm 55 and have been surfing since I was 9 years old. It is my favorite song of all songs, period. Been playing guitar for 32 years and just last March in Costa Rica, learned to play it , rhythm and lead. Now I'm a happy man......Thanks guys for the joy in my heart.

    This tune, in connection to the film, transports me back to a time when we had time, Time to live, instead of time to just exist. A time of more patience, acceptance, respect, listening, ambling, simplicity. with lighter bodies, haha. A time where I think we were improving and would continue to do that. But, here we are.....It wasn't perfect back then, but now? Thank you for this tune which takes me to a quiet space, a place I feel thankful for having experienced and a place that reminds me to slow down and look up and around at the simple things.Things that wave to me and tell me it's all still here if I just jump off the edge and float...Gods music, for sure........Cheers and Aloha.

    I love this song. It take me back to my old beach days from Newport Beach to Seal Beach. I would learn how to boogy board, body and sand surf. Now I live in the middle of Colorado. In July, I hope to visit my old stomping ground and do some body or boogy boarding surfing.

    Probably the most Fitting and most Beautiful Surf song ever written. I saw Endless Summer when it opened, I was 16 years old at the time. This song was one of the main things I will never forget from the movie. Hearing this song always reminds me of sitting on the beach with my girl.... Thank you guys for such a wonderfull time.

    The Cape St Francis takes with this song and accompaniment of xylophone and clarinet are awesome. I watch this flick at least twice a year. A great feeling movie.

    Hey John, your brother David taught me how to play guitar when I was in high school back in 1960's Minnesota, about as far from surfing as you could get. I have fond memories of learning how to play clean surf lines and melodies. I still use those techniques to this day. Say hi and thanks from me if you see him.

    I was a freshman at the University of Notre Dame in September of 1966. Breen-Phllips Hall. Room 247. It was a triple. Not much room for anything on the walls. I put my Endless Summer movie poster on the wall. When the snow piled high and the temperature dropped below zero, I saw that poster every time I left our room. I enjoyed being in South Bend, this California kid, and I didn't mind the cold. But this poster kept me warm inside.

    Being around the age of Bruce and the Sandals (generally) this brings me back to the halceyon days of my youth (LOL), Being from Bridgeport, Ct. I'm not trying to tell you I was a beach bum but I really liked this movie and soundtrack and have brought it with me thoughout my life in a way of whenever I need to shed myself of the daily accumulated stresses of life I put this track on and unwind totally. Which is what I'm doing right now. Thanks for that!

    Your song influenced my surfing and skateboarding style. I started surfing in 1971 after watching Endless Summer in a theater in Rio de Janeiro Brazil. The theme song impressed me so much. Beautiful. I remember going skateboarding and thinking about the melody to inspire my skateboarding.
    I still listen to it these days and it just gets more beautiful as time passes by.
    Thank you!!!!

    I saw the film before there was a sound track. I was 18 and moved to Hawaii summer 1965 to attend UH in fall for what was going to be 5 heavenly years. That summer,non-surfers took me to (Punahou High School ?) to see "a film about surfing." Bruce Brown was on stage narrating with music the future Endless Summer sound track. I bought a new, custom made 8'10" board by Hobie's from a NY kid at UH in fall. Mentored by the best (new friends), I eventually rode 18' waves with Doyle, Pomar, Sweet.

    The ALL-TIME signature surf instrumental tune for GENUINE surfers. Sounds just as gorgeous, played by the original guys, 4 decades later. And what a bonus in the clip - Bruce Brown talking with the guys about how it all began and how the Sandals' own composition influenced Bruce's filmed scenes in TES so powerfully. This whole clip is one unique experience. The ultimate de-stresser in these latter-day troubled times. Where's my old 9'5" ! - makes me wanna hit the beach and shoot the curl again.

    Hey guys, love your music ... laidback
    I've been having this question for a few decades now. Maybe you can help me out.
    At the end of endless summer 2 right after the scene where laird almost hits a helicopter ("have a little laird-burger"). There is this reminiscing scene with a very mellow/melancholic guitar song playing in the background (right before the 'endless summer theme' that plays with the movie-score), It doesnt't seem to be featured in the soundtrack.
    If anyone could tell me what this track is, I would be insanely gratefull.
