Editing The Endless Summer (section)

Brown remembered, "I felt if I could take two years to make a film, maybe I could make something special".<ref name="starbulletin-2004-Ryan-Brown"/> To do this, he would need a bigger budget than he had on previous films. To raise the $50,000 budget for ''The Endless Summer'', Brown took the best footage from his four previous films and made ''Waterlogged''.<ref name="danapointtimes.com/five-decades" /> With the money raised from ''Waterlogged'', Brown filmed ''The Endless Summer'', his sixth surf film.<ref name="danapointtimes.com/five-decades">{{cite news |title=Five Decades of Endless Summers |url=https://www.danapointtimes.com/five-decades-of-endless-summers/ |access-date=10 May 2022 |work=Dana Point Times |date=2 May 2014}}</ref>

Brown's original concept was for [[Cape St. Francis]] to be the main destination, but through the suggestion of a [[travel agent]], during the planning stages of the film, that a [[round-the-world ticket]], would cost $50 cheaper than just a [[Los Angeles]] to [[Cape Town, South Africa]] round-trip flight.<ref>{{cite news|last=Bharath|first=Deepa|title=Surfing through time|newspaper=Huntington Beach Wave|date=May 15, 2014|author2=Connelly, Laylan|page=3}}</ref> after which Bruce came up with the idea of following the summer season by traveling up and down the world.{{citation needed|date=April 2019}}
