Not that I had the good fortune of knowing Bruce personally. But by applying his signature touch in sharing his passion for surfing and motorcycling through his two most iconic films, The Endless Summer (1966) and On Any Sunday (1971), he adopted millions of fans into his world and made us at least feel like we had just met our new best friend. The fact that he narrated his own films gave everyone a personal connection to Bruce as well as the story playing out on screen. That, and so much more, is the magic Bruce Brown brought to so many lives.
Bruce Brown left the world at age 80. He passed away in his sleep at his home in Santa Barbara, California.
