'Besides "The Endless Summer", there is "Strictly Hot" by Dale Davis. The Dragons did an unreleased soundtrack that crosses Surf instrumental with percussive Jazz, in what must be the most exotic Surf music ever (no offense to the Enchanters, wherever they are... "Tum Tiki" is a masterpiece). That said, all of the Bruce Brown films are very good. He even did motorcycle film ("On Any Sunday") after "The Endless Summer" (which was released in 1965, NOT 1966). It was shot in '64.'
Plus the recent Riding Giants by Stacy Peralta (2004)
GRINDHOUSE NIGHT... Perhaps Big Doll House and Savage Streets?
