"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."
