This original poster features the internationally acclaimed full color surf artwork by the late great Rick Griffin for the film “Five Summer Stories,” which premiered in 1972. The poster promotes a handful of screenings in Australia in April 1973. Original copies of this poster hardly ever appear for sale these days, and this is the FIRST example we’ve ever offered in our auction!

For the surfing aficionado, the Five Summer Stories film was an incredible barrage of audio-visual stimulus. This quote is from a review of the movie: "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."
