Endless Summer "Cape St. Francis "

Best clip from Endless Summer done by Brand X Burn Productions. Enjoy some of the best rights that Robert and Mike ride.

[@k311y5m1th]

this is one of the best surf clips of all time.

[@mikemartin8088]

I was a young boy in Arizona when I saw this movie. I thought, "I want to do that!" I was lucky and at age 12 (1970) we moved to San Diego! I bought a used 10'2" Con for $10 bucks and surfed every chance I could. From Blacks Beach all the way down to 3M's Ensenada, MX.

[@DennisTeti]

That's a great story, Mike. Thanks for posting 🌊🏄🏻‍♂️🤙🏽

[@jksinorbit]

No more sand, no more wave....thanks real estate developers!

[@Greg_call]

Just watched on ESPN classic movie's. What a fun movie... Bruce Brown did a great job recording Mike and Robert's adventures. Hard to believe that this movie was filmed 50 years ago.

[@nornscholar6643]

The script is one of the things that makes this film and his sense of humour and social awareness was very advanced for its time. I believe everyone jolted up in their chair a little bit when he commented on how sharks and a certain breed of whale in South Africa ‘aren’t integrated’ yet

[@pieterbotha5432]

whats sad is that those waves arnt there anymore

[@colindominy]

Man, this footage is really THE core essence of this entire famous surf flick from 1964. Bruce Brown's voice-over narration is another thing that REALLY makes this surf movie the no-beat all-time CLASSIC. We'll never get another "Endless Summer" world-beater like this one.

[@805fillmore]

I think it could be remade.

[@ajaxcatch]

I think Jack McCoy made special surf movies. Green Iguana one of the best ever. Great music and Australian reef breaks. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gWfWn62Hlp5mm8ksi=np74d-xY1Dp5p0Am

When they said it looked like a machine had made the waves all I could think about was Kelly’s surfranch

[@roadracer1584]

The waves at Cape St. Francis aren't that "perfect" most of the time.

[@R3l3ntl3sss]

Some say if you surf it for 30 years you will get 30 days like this

[@Uhhhh30]

For the people wondering how the waves got messed up. They explain it in 'Endless Summer 2'. Houses were build there and the owners started to complain about sand blowing all over the place. So they planted vegetation in the dunes to keep the sand in place. The sand was the main reason for getting those beautiful barrels. Sand would blow out into the ocean, filling the rocky bottom and making it flat, resulting in the barrels you see in this clip.

[@subsamadhi]

.....also if you follow the story, the waves weren't actually as good as they describe them in the original endless summer. It really didn't break like this all the time, so its not like it was a flawless wave that happened all the time.

[@mikelomez9313]

​@@subsamadhiTrue but even if they only broke like that some of the time it's still pretty incredible

[@donnermaxblitzen6586]

Sand bars are formed either by ocean movement and/ or offshore wind.What has caused the ruination of this once priceless spot - DAMN DEVELOPERS ! A build up of excavations flowing into the ocean The ocean not knowing what to do with the shit, attempting to distribute said excavations akin to sand, the verdammt excavations clinging to the sea bed creating a false floor......Closeout Bay ! Same damn thing has happened here no thanks to the "boatie" carrot slappers, destroying one of the best (although reasonably "Bronzie" infested ) left handers in mid Northland. Maybe one of the pricks will roll over the stern of a "gin palace" supporting the wife's name...........

[@justinafrika7860]

Nah nah nah, been surfing here 40 years and there are still excellent days at Bruce's several times a year.

[@PetesNikon]

Yes, this is THE CLIP I best remember from this film. Saw it when it first came out and I have to revisit it regularly to get my fix, Remember AGIP?

[@clarkewi]

I saw Endless Summer in January 1965 at Santa Barbara High School after surfing an uncrowded Hammond's Reef. I was 13. Bruce Brown did the narration in person. Now I live in New Zealand inspired by this phenomenal movie

[@senatedistrict6530]

does the government there allow you to surf?

[@clarkewi]

@@senatedistrict6530 Auckland remains at level 4 which is total lockdown and will remain so for another week and a half. We in Taranaki Province south of Auckland are at level 3. People can do most things like surfing as long as they socially distance and wear face coverings in stores etc. Hoping to go to level 2 Monday.

[@Jellyrollrider]

You still surf at 70?

this is the dream i've had ever since the first time I saw this Movie :))

[@ronaldl911]

Ive been to Cape St Francis, the waves really do break alot like that almost 300days p. year. It all just depends on the wind and swell.....

No ride is longer than a few yards. Such a joke and a lie. I could film a fictional wave at Malibu or Thailia St. in Laguna, and make it look like a mile long wave But props to Endless Summer for lighting the fire for surfing

Funny how this story took place after hearing Mike tell how this spot was really discovered. Way different than the movie version.

[@heenalusurf2500]

wait what happened

[@Anthony-hf6bb]

@@heenalusurf2500 few stories floating around but they all point to local white South African surfers contacting American surfers, telling them about the break. The producers and Bruce were scouting locations for a while before they set off. Fishermen and locals knew about the wave for years before the film. I’m from Australia and I adored the film growing up in the 90’s, also when the sequel was released. I’very been living in Cape Town for a while and couldn’t miss heading over to have a look. Conditions were a bit crap, no one else in the water so I didn’t go in (sharks are common) but you can see the ridiculously good potential. It’s a loooooooong wave. The wind directions off the southern coast of Africa are constant and consistent because of the border of the Atlantic and Indian oceans. The shape of the bay and the direction of the St Francis headland sticking out make for “the perfect wave”
