content: This is a $1.50 ticket for the movie <i>The Endless Summer</i>. The movie was written, produced and directed by Bruce Brown. Brown also served as the narrator of this surf ‘diary’ following two young surfers for one summer, around the globe, in search of the “perfect wave.” It was in limited release in 1964 and released worldwide in 1966 grossing $5 million domestically and over $20 million worldwide. Its simplicity was part of its enduring appeal and while naïve and corny to today’s audiences it was an integral part of surf history. <i>The Endless Summer</i> introduced the world to surfing, a nation of bored teens to the idea of travel and created a popularity of surf culture that endures today.
