In Reply to: Well, I haven't seen "Giants" yet and from your post I can't tell what posted by tinear on August 10, 2005 at 15:48:30:
I think the criticism of Endless Summer in Riding Giants was due to the fact that it help popularize the sport. Some oldtimers enjoyed having the waves to themselves. For obvious reasons. The good surf places got very crowded, not just due to that movie, but all the other surf movies and music in the 60s.I don't recall anyone in the movie criticizing endless summer as a movie. I also liked Endless Summer II, which came out just a few years ago (or maybe a decade). Robert August, one of the young surfers in the original Endless Summer, owns a surf shop near me. I think he has others as well.
