The biggest distraction for me thus far is just how easy it is to improvise my own little parts to the songs.

I love this video of a Mr. Moto jam. Paul Johnson starts, and players that follow have made it their own, depending on their guitar, playing style, and improvisation. The video is low quality but the audio is good.

I like what the guy with the Surf Green Strat did. Some interesting ideas there.

When Surf Guitar is outlawed only outlaws will play Surf Guitar.

I'm probably late for this, but I'd recommend downloading Tux Guitar and then using it to play some Guitar Pro tabs by the Ventures, Dick Dale and others. I like how you can slow things down to learn the tricky parts. When I first got interested in surf music, I got the Hal Leonard "Play-Along Surf Guitar" book, which allowed me to figure out and play a lot of the most popular songs of the first wave using the free "Amazing Slow Downer" and the backing tracks and was, given the use I got from it, a pretty cheap $15 or so.
