Theme to The Endless Summer - The Sandals - cover by Dave Monk

The Endless Summer is a seminal 1966 surf movie (the initial release was in 1964, world-wide release was 1966).
Filmmaker/narrator Bruce Brown follows two surfers, Mike Hynson and Robert August, on a surfing trip around the world. Despite the balmy climate of their native California, cold ocean currents make local beaches inhospitable during the winter. They travel to the coasts of Australia, New Zealand, Tahiti, Hawaii, Senegal, Ghana, Nigeria and South Africa in a quest for new surf spots and introduce locals to the sport. Other important surfers of the time, such as Miki Dora, Phil Edwards and Butch Van Artsdalen also appear.
The narrative presentation eases from the stiff and formal documentary of the 1950s and early 1960s to a more casual and fun-loving personal style filled with sly humour.
The surf rock soundtrack to the film was provided by The Sandals. The "Theme to the Endless Summer" was written by Gaston Georis and John Blakeley of the Sandals. It has become one of the best known film themes in the surf movie genre.
Here is my version of this lovely tune. The backing track used was from Pete Korving's CD Sailing. I hope you like it. Dave
p.s. I realise the original had more treble to the lead guitar but I preferred the softer tone.
