The documentary Birth of The Endless Summer: Discovery of Cape St. Francis reveals the untold story behind Bruce Browns iconic film The Endless Summer. It follows the journey of Dick Metz, a California surf pioneer, as he travels the world from 1958 to 1961. Metzs adventures lead him to discover the perfect wave at Cape St. Francis in South Africa, which inspires Bruce Brown to create The Endless Summer and revolutionize the sport of surfing. The film also documents Metzs return to South Africa at the age of 90 to retrace his original journey. It features interviews with influential figures in the surfing world, including Metz, Bruce Brown, and other surfers. The premiere of the film at the Newport Beach Film Festival is particularly special for director Richard Yelland, as it tells a personal story rooted in his hometown.
