Brings back great memories from the summer of '92, when my summer seemed endless, the possibilities, the friendships, the sun, the waves. The movie, Endless Summer 2 came out. It seems like a whole other life now, but I will always have the memories!

[tahoesmokey]

Endless Summer is the greatest surf film ever!

[FlowFighter21]

a cool buzz and some tasty waves.

[PeaceJohnLennon]

how did this end up on Nimrod, 35 years later?

[thelonelyghoul]

Great Song.

[ozWeb2]

I can't surf for quids, but I grew up near Cronulla in the 60's - 70's and it brings back great memories of my youth.

It was an awesome time to be alive... love this music.

[7272257]

@ozWeb2 You might remember Ward "Pally" Austin then OZ, as I stated he used this as his theme as he was coming on air at drivetime on the old 2UW. I was about 6 and it remember it so well. Incidentally I'm on the Northern Beaches of Sydney.

[ozWeb2]

@7272257 I remember the name but I dont recall ever listening to him.

Northern beaches is cool, I have been up there a few times & loved the atmosphere there. I now live on the Gold Coast.

When my school friends were going surfing, I got involved in music, I am a drummer, & I had played all over Sydney, & some northern beaches pubs.

The Royal Antler, Time & Tide where 2 that I can remember. 70's was a great time back.

Richard Clapton was from northern beaches if I remember?

[tommerrigan1956]

Thanks so much for posting this. i remember going to see the movie when i was ten. Loved it then, love it now. i taught in Ghana, West Africa, where one of the surfing scenes is filmed. i still recall trying to teach some of the kids how to swim in the Atlantic.

[SurfinSister22]

this song just makes everything in the world ok! I really wanna go surfing now, i think ill go watch this movie right now!

[liaiscool333]

Great movie, great theme song, it sort of makes you feel like everything is fine :)

[tommerrigan1956]

A man and a friend are playing golf one day at their local golf course. One of the guys is about to chip onto the green when he sees a long funeral procession on the road next to the course. He stops in mid-swing, takes off his golf cap, closes his eyes, and bows down in prayer.

His friend says: “Wow, that is the most thoughtful and touching thing I have ever seen. You truly are a kind man.”

The man then replies: “Yeah, well we were married 35 years.”

[jabriaw]

Can't wait to surf this week....

[terrryc]

What a superb piece of writing! I kept thinking that the Ventures did this. I finally solved a 45 year old mystery....now what do I do with myself?

[LittleRiRi13]

i want to go surf now

[jonno69098887776766]

sweeettt!!! such a mezmerisin tune

[toddwindyhill]

The wide range of great stuff being played in the Summer of 1967 made it not just endless, but remarkable to the point of music-intoxication..........I had the opportunity that Summer to hear stations up and down the East Coast and all along the Gulf and many midwest stations........as a Merchant Marine sailor on coastwise tankers........and did so for severl more years.

[Lou1884]

@thesandalsband, do you have a web site?!! You just don't know how special this melody is to me. I'm from the SF bay area but I used to spend my summers in So.Cal, which I love so much. I'd put it on my cassette as soon as I reached Santa Barbara and kept playing all the way into Baja. I would sit on the rocks having a beer watch the sunset & the sea with the melody in the background and life was beautiful. San Clemente in the 60's was paradise. God, how I miss it.

[Misteriosi81]

@Lou1884 Hey just download a youtube to mp3 converter and you can get this version 

[larkspur35]

The wedge 1972...

[thesandalsband]

Glad to see so much memories from this soul full tune....

This song was written in our garage at 231 la Esperanza in San Clemente Calif by John Blakeley & my brother Gaston

What you are listening to is a re-make of the original done with the original instruments. If you have the original LP you will hear the voice harmonies done by

the girlfriends/wifes? of the famous Jazz Crusaders .. LP was released on World Pacific Records a small jazz label in Hollywood

Walter Georis (The Sandals)

[manluvsthe60s]

@thesandalsband thanks for the info... a wonderful tune and great time to be alive... this was 66 right? thanks Walter

this movie gave hope of a better day...

[glanesb]

[guganetooo]

[BOBILLBAJO]

you nailed it.

[tommerrigan1956]

@guganetooo yeah sis, u got that right.

[tommerrigan1956]

@guganetooo yeah sis, you got it.

[tommerrigan1956]

@guganetooo There are no "pure people," only people who try to be pure. We all are stained in one way or another.

[toastnmarmalade4tea]

Love this! I still have the original album as you have pictured. Will always treasure it! Just listening to this record sends chills up & down me. Takes me back to my teenage years in Ocean City, N.J.........Thanks so much for posting!

[KeepRockin55]

I've been to Ocean City, Maryland but have never heard of Ocean City in Jersey... was it a cool place to grow up? I grew up in Metro Detroit, no surd round here but still a rad place to grow up

[combatautumn]
