It wasn’t as good as its predecessor, but sequels rarely are. I am now hunting for a copy of Morning of the Earth, an Australian surfing movie from 1971. I think I saw part of it years ago, but I didn’t know the title. For all I know, this isn’t the movie I saw, but I’d like to find out. All I remember about it is the beautiful cinematography, good music, and an absence of narration. And a sunset.

In searching for this film, I came across the description of another that seems familiar, and which I’d like to see in any event: Five Summer Stories from 1972. Like Morning of the Earth, it appears to be currently unavailable.

I need to start documenting the surfing documentaries I’ve seen.

Collecting them, that is.

And what is the Number One Surfing Movie of All Time?

That’ll be The Endless Summer, my friend.

Aloha!
