I don't surf either and only tried it once. I should because I'm near the
pacific coast.
I play lead Fender Strat in the Fabulous Planktones (surf and instro).
Our only surfing member (one of my three brother's who have played in the
Planktones) left the band to surf more. He also makes Planktone surfboards in
San Clemente.

<<I tried to surf, but since I live in PA I couldn't surf on the ocean.
I tried to surf the Lakawana River but ended up getting hurt on the
rocks. So now i just BMX.
I really got in to surf music the first time i heard Anthrax's
version of Pipeline, since then I've been hooked.
I play fuzz saturated surf metal. My gear includes a Gibson Flying V
58 reissue, a DeArmond Jet Star, my signature "El Steev-O!" peavy
Milstone 2 Bass, a Dod Ice Box, a Boss Compressor, A Big Muff fuzz
unit, a Digitec RP 3, an ibanez Power Lead, An Ibanez Tube Screamer,
and a Peavy Studio Chorus 210 amp from the early 80's outfitted with
JBL subs.
