The "Endless Summer" Experience at Pacific Edge Hotel

Robert August catching a wave

The iconic surf documentary The Endless Summer® follows two young surfers around the world in search of the perfect wave, giving birth to the "surf and travel" culture. Pacific Edge Hotel, located in the heart of Laguna Beach, is celebrating the spirit of the film by creating something extra special for guests. 

Through March 31, 2012, Pacific Edge is offering The "Endless Summer" Ultimate Surf Experience Package. The packages includes a beach front room and a one day, one-on-one surf adventure with world-renowned surfer Robert August, who stared in the film. After catching waves with August, the guest will have the opportunity to sit down and chat with him and his son, surfer Sam August, over cocktails and appetizers on the beach. “I’m excited to share a taste of the adventure I experienced while filming The Endless Summer through this one-of-a-kind package at the Pacific Edge Hotel,” says August.

The package also includes Bruce Brown's "'The Ultimate Summer' DVD set" and a six-pack of Karl Strauss' Endless Summer Lager. Guests also have the option to add on one of August's custom made "What I Ride" surfboards (boards start at $870). Package cost starts at $5,200. Must book 21 days in advance.

Don't miss out on this rare opportunity to catch some waves with a legend!
