The Endless Summer II

The Endless Summer II is a 1994 film directed by Bruce Brown and is a sequel to his 1966 film The Endless Summer. In The Endless Summer II, surfers Pat O'Connell and Robert "Wingnut" Weaver retrace the steps of Mike Hynson and Robert August. It shows the growth and evolution of the surfing scene since the first film, which presented only classic longboard surfing. O'Connell rides a shortboard, which was developed in the time between the two movies, and there are scenes of windsurfing and bodyboarding.

The film illustrates how far surfing had spread, with footage of surf sessions in France, South Africa, Costa Rica, Australia, Bali, Java, and even Alaska. It also has a brief cameo appearance by morey surfer Felipe Zylbersztajn, Steve Irwin, and Mary, a crocodile from Irwin's Australia Zoo.

In 2003, Dana Brown, Bruce's son, made what is seen as the "third movie", Step into Liquid. It follows the evolution of surfing over the last 10–15 years from shortboarding to tow-in surfing.

gollark: It's actually my largest and most successful project, too!
gollark: On Switchcraft I actually have a system which detects people complaining about it and logs it to the incident report system as blasphemy.

gollark: <@!222424031368970240> If you're trying to make a sandbox which can't be broken even if you know it's there and are deliberately trying to remove it here are some things to watch out for- `getfenv`- `os.queueEvent` (if you run code which does basically any IO outside of the sandbox/with access to non-sandbox functions)- `debug`- `load` (it has some weird environment quirks)- `io` (due to, again, environment weirdness, depending on how you load the new FS API it might still use the regular one)- potential meddling with global APIs like `string` and/or metatables, to confuse your sandboxing codeand to hide it you probably also want to worry about- `debug`- `string.dump`- `error` (you can generate stack tracebacks in a really convoluted way using it, which could allow detecting the sandbox)- `error` (in some very convoluted way you can generate stack tracebacks using this and thus realize
gollark: Proper sandboxing is extremely hard. But if you want to protect against people/things not actively attempting to break it you can do quite well.
