1 | "'The Endless Summer' planted an adventure seed in millions of young people's minds," stated Jess Ponting, founder of the Center for Surf Research. |
2 | "Three years after they returned," The Endless Summer "finally took off. Brown was getting great press and being called the surfing millionaire. He had put up $50,000 of his own money for promotion, and that investment was finally paying off. The film eventually earned $30 million," the L.A. Weekly reported. |
3 | After 'The Endless Summer' was edited, "Hynson and Brown toured the U.S. in a bus in the summer of 1964, screening the documentary in high school auditoriums and Lions Clubs. The film originally didn't even have audio; Brown would play surf records and narrate the action live," the L.A. Weekly explained. |
