Biography

Dana Brown (born December 11, 1959, in Dana Point, California) is an American surfer and filmmaker and is the oldest son of filmmaker Bruce Brown. His films include The Endless Summer Revisited (2000), which is made up of unused footage from The Endless Summer (1964) and The Endless Summer II (1994), as well as some original interviews with the stars of those films.
