DescriptionSurf Beat tells the story of the rise of surf music at the dawn of the 60s. It began as a youthful, primitive instrumental music, pioneered by teenage bands like The Belairs and The Surfaris and powered by loud electric guitars and amplifiers. Later--to the dismay of hardcore surfers--came the more sophisticated vocal form of the music, best exemplified by The Beach Boys and Jan & Dean.
