Hi! I'm Martin, 24 from LA, and I've been a huge surf fan since I was 15. My favorites include dick dale, messer chups, daikaiju, satans pilgrims, and the eliminators (to name very few) I play a squire jaguar (my baby!) and a '73 twin reverb with an oceans 11 reverb pedal- and I've been a student of the Surf since i started playing at 17. I started my band "The Martian Sunset" a few years back, and in a nutshell, we're a B-Movie horror based Surf punk band with a little cult following in the local scene. We incorporate surf in our songs, often basing them out of many, and during our shows we love mixing surf standards into our original setlist. We also love dressing up as movie monsters, lol. instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/themartiansunset?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw== and our spotify here!: spotify Again, I'm always a student of the surf and would love to learn so much more from others, including jamming and trying out a new project! Much love Surf 101!!See you at the next fest! Last edited: Mar 08, 2025 00:32:35 |

Hey Martin, welcome to SG101! If you've never visited here before, you will find a tremendous amount of support and information on just about every aspect of surf music there is. Before the next SG101 Festival, if you have the time, catch some of the shows that Big Tiki Dude is putting on at the Doll Hut in Anaheim, and the Surfing Sunday shows down at Huntington Beach. —Patrick |

Hello! Any other Indigenous Métis surf guitarists from the Yukon here? No? My name is Patrick and I'm working on an album of original surf music to be released this year. I'm currently playing a 1972 Fender Mustang through a reissue Fender '65 Deluxe Reverb FSR Blue Flower edition with a factory Jensen speaker. I'm in the process of negotiating for a vintage Fender Jaguar (I'll let you know more if/when I get it!). I grew up listening to The Ventures, The Surfaris, The Chanteys, and The Astronauts, but have recently gone down the rabbit hole of modern surf rock acts such as The Babalooneys, Black Flamingos, Surfer Joe, The Surfrajettes, Satan's Pilgrims, The Men in the Gray Suits, Bradipos IV, and more. My ultimate goal is for my new record to open doors to play surf and tiki festivals alongside some of these exceptional "new wave" surf bands. I am also a festival producer myself and I have hired The Surfrajettes to come and perform at this year's Atlin Arts and Music Festival in northern British Columbia, just south of Whitehorse, Yukon. —Landlocked surf rocker and leader of The Surfmasters from The Yukon.

I have added links to my music and various pages now. My band is called The Surfmasters and I'm going as 'Sunny Jake' (a play on my last name). I hope you enjoy it! —Landlocked surf rocker and leader of The Surfmasters from The Yukon.

Hey guys and gals, Been lurking the site for a while now and enjoying the content and wisdom. New surf rock enthusiast. My usual cup of tea is alt rock or laid back instrumental but I’ve always also enjoyed listening to and playing western/spaghetti western type music. This recently turned into a newfound appreciation for surf music — new & old. As an example, Discovering the song “Sleepwalk” and also a band called Daikaiju have recently blown my mind. So much so I’ve picked up a Surfy Bear Classic on Reverb and have been thoroughly enjoying it. Also, just bought the first book in the Surf Guitar series and learning a lot of about the good themes and idioms of the genre. Look forward to being part of this cool group! Any recommendations on some surf guitar 1-on-1 online lessons? |

Welcome to SG101. Daikaiju is certainly one wild band! —Canadian Surf |
