The structure varies almost completely with surf. It is nowhere in the ballpark of the surf genre.

Absolutely Stringer!
But for the guys that haven't seen 5 Summer Stories (or know who Gerry Lopez is) it would be hard to relate to this as surf music. It probably doesn't fit the SG101 definition of the "surf music" genre but it sure makes me think of "surfing".

I was a young surfer in So Cal in 1972 when this movie came out and Gerry Lopez was the King of Pipeline. I remember the line was around the block at the La Paloma theater. This album was (and still is) a vital soundtrack to surfers of that era!

Yup - saw Honk at the Golden Bear in HB (before downtown HB became a mall...) a few times. The 5 Summer Stories connection is definitely there and reminds me of days spent at the Huntington Cliffs.

It goes back to the original idea that at the beginning, surf music was music that accompanied surf films.

Let me pull up a chair....

It seems that what we have here is defining issue, in my world there are 3 types of "Surf Music".

1 - The kind that we all here agree on as being Surf "Guitar" Music... ie Dick Dale (but not the presurf rockabilly), the Belairs, the Challengers, the Lively Ones and pick any of the 2nd & third wave bands that fit this style of music.

2 - The Sounds like Surf Music but is really instro... ie The Ventures, Los Stright Jackets and to me The Astronauts (Surf Music doesn't have vocals but that is an other can of worms...).

3 - And then we have "Surfing/Surfers Music"... ie the sound track to Bud Shank's Slippery When Wet, Honks 5 Summer Stories and John Severson's Sunset Surf Lp just to name a few examples.
How many know that the classic Surf song The Endless Summer by The Sandells is not Surf Music but Dirt Bike Music???

John said in best in this quote "Any music can be surf music" but I'll add "not any guitar with reverb added can be Surf Guitar music".

when i think of the soundtracks to the old surf movies this is more of what comes into mind from one of bruce brown's films.
