The Story

Formed1962OriginUnited StatesGenresurf musicLabelDot RecordsMembersBob Berryhill

Imagine the salty breeze and the thrill of catching the perfect wave—this is the vibe that The Surfaris encapsulate with their infectious surf rock sound. Hailing from Glendora, California, this energetic band has been riding the sonic tide since 1962. While they’ve gifted the world with a handful of catchy tunes, it’s their iconic “Wipe Out” that truly makes waves, accompanied by the equally memorable “Surfer Joe” on the flip side. Both tracks showcase their knack for infectious rhythms and playful melodies, embodying the carefree spirit of the surf culture that blossomed during their heyday. With Bob Berryhill steering the creative ship, The Surfaris remain a vibrant part of the surf rock legacy, inviting us to grab our boards and hit the beach—if only in our minds.
