About the Film:
They call it Endless Summer, the ultimate surfing adventure, crossing the globe in search of the perfect wave. From the uncharted waters of West Africa, to the shark-filled seas of Australia, to the tropical paradise of Tahiti and beyond, these California surfers accomplish in a few months what most people never do in a lifetime…They live their dream. Director Bruce Brown creates a film so powerful it has become a timeless masterpiece that continues to capture the imagination of every new generation. When it first played in theaters, audiences lined up to see it again and again, spellbound by its thrilling excitement and awesome photography. But in fact, what’s most compelling about the film is the sport of surfing itself, and once you’ve seen it, you’ll never forget why.

‼️Please note: Cleanups at Sunset are especially hazardous as we are set up on the edge of the Pacific Coast Highway. While we take measures to ensure everyone's safety, working this close to the highway has increased risks. As such, this is not a cleanup for unattended youngsters. ‼️
