In completed form, “The Endless Summer” had a musical soundtrack from the Sandals, a surf-rock band, and an amiable narration by Mr. Brown. Mr. Brown enrolled at Long Beach City College on his return but, his son said, lasted there only a week or two. Mr. Velzy showed the home movies Mr. Brown had made, charging 25 cents a ticket. “We spent the summer negotiating about making a ‘real’ surf film,” Mr. Brown told Surfer magazine this year. Mr. Brown pursued another personal interest, dirt bikes, when he made the motorcycle racing documentary “On Any Sunday” (1971).
