The Endless Summer II
Studio: Monterey Home Video Release Date: 09/30/2003
Twenty-eight years after directing the hit documentary The Endless Summer, Bruce Brown went on a similar quest with two surfers to find the perfect wave. With a bigger budget and more sophistication in the production, this sequel is even more spectacular. What is lost in innocence--which The Endless Summer was rich in--is made up for in stunning looks at pristine beaches on exotic and even unlikely (for example, Alaska) shores. --Tom Keogh

The Endless Summer II Reviews
I've just seen it once and I don't know how many times I will watch before being bored. That's a good movie with a good storie and good surfing.
Awesome video, great videography and humorous narration of two young men who trek the globe, catching waves during an "endless summer" of fun and adventure.
Add this one to the collection, and hope that the formats don't change too soon. There is enough non-surf events going off that it stays fresh from start to finish. Any surf film can show good waves, but what separates ES II is Bruce Brown's narrative (reminiscent of ES), the characters, and how this movie flows. It is hard to improve on the original, but this DVD comes real close.
It always gets me excited about summer. I've made it a personal tradition to watch this movie during spring break each year throughout high school. The guys in this film have the opportunity to go to several exotic places that most people wouldn't even consider for vacationing. Simple as that.
But each place has its own charm and appeal, and the surfers are able to have a blast wherever they end up. Awesome surfers, awesome waves, awesome producer. Great film all around. I HIGHLY recommend this film for anybody who loves to travel to new places.
Rent or buy this film for the content, not the quality. The film rarely takes itself seriously and instead, gives a light side of surfing entertainment. You might even get stoked while watching it & take a trip down the beach.
It's my favorite surf film (I have about a dozen). This film follows a meandering path of a few dudes attempting to get "stoked" while riding waves on various continents. It combines surfing, humor, nature, beauty, and cool.
It's a discredit to have "Revisited" associated with this film. If the quality was there it would rate as 5+ stars. Please note; don't waste your time or money on another film called "The Endless Summer Revisited".
