Surf sounds

Did the best surf music come out of the groovy 60s?, the generation of drug, sex and rock n roll. Everything did seem so much more cruisy then! Messing around on YouTube I found this old surfing music play list. It’s pretty cool, particularly if you are a fan of the Beach Boys. Their music certainly reflected the 60s southern Californian culture. This was another old school play list which has some good tunes. There are some real retro videos.

Pushing forward a few decades, I found this modern ‘new school’ mix which also has some great songs and videos. Modern surfing music does still have a unique sound which can be a mash up with other genres like rock, reggae and even easy listening. This list of surf musicians taken from Wikipedia might interest you.

Anyway, enjoy!
