...completed a ten-year, $600 million program that doubled the number of campsites in existing parks and added more than 100 visitor centers. Since 1961, however, the Government has enlarged the total system by barely 3%, adding 844,000 acres through the acquisition of such areas as Massachusetts' Cape Cod National Seashore and New York's Fire Island National Park.

From the shores of Ghana to Tahiti's black sand beaches to Hawaii's perilous "Pipeline"-the Mount Everest of surf-dom-chills and spills crowd onto the screen.
