Heralded as the finest surf movie ever made, Five Summer Stories is a cultural icon, a time capsule from a watershed era when the world was at a critical crossroads and its reflection was clear in the emerging sport/art of surfing. Against a backdrop of the Vietnam War and the Nixon years, Five Summer Stories was the culmination of the joint surf-film careers of Jim Freeman and Greg MacGillivray. Code name The Last Surfing Movie during production, the movie portrays a young, outlaw sport at a strategic point in its creative evolution--and at an historical crux in time. Now you, too, can do what audiences of the 1970s did--you can hoot and scream and go crazy--all in the privacy of your own home. With its ground-breaking, super slow-motion surf cinematography and music by the Beach Boys and Honk, Five Summer Stories inspired a generation as it depicted the pure, innocent joy of surfing as symbolic of humankind’s best possibilities. Now, in celebration of the film’s 50th anniversary, Greg has edited a new version that includes ten stories rather than the original five. Digitally remastered and with a new digital soundtrack, this truly is the last, best version of this iconic surf film. For the surfing afficianado, Five Summer Stories is an incredible barrage of audio-visual stimulus. SURFER Magazine
