En la soleada California de los años 1960, un grupo de jóvenes músicos decidió capturar la esencia de su entorno en forma de música. The Beach Boys nacieron en 1961 en Hawthorne, un suburbio de Los Ángeles. Los hermanos Brian, Dennis y Carl Wilson, junto con su primo Mike Love y su amigo Al Jardine, formaron la alineación original.
Brian Wilson, el principal arquitecto sonoro del grupo, creció en un ambiente donde la música era un componente central. Su padre, Murry Wilson, un aspirante a compositor, alentó a sus hijos a desarrollar sus talentos musicales desde temprana edad. El resultado fue un sonido innovador que mezclaba armonías vocales complejas con la influencia del rock and roll de la época.
El primer gran éxito de The Beach Boys llegó en 1962 con la canción Surfin' Safari, que se convirtió en un hit en la escena musical californiana. Este éxito fue seguido rápidamente por el álbum Surfin' USA en 1963, cuyo título homónimo se convirtió en un himno del surf rock. Las letras hablaban de la cultura del surf, pero la propuesta musical iba mucho más allá: su magistral uso de armonías vocales y su innovador enfoque en la producción marcaban la diferencia.
Liderados por Brian, quien encontró inspiración en el grupo de estudio de Phil Spector, The Beach Boys lanzaron una serie de éxitos durante los primeros años de la década de los 60. Canciones como Surfer Girl,

Still Surfin' Song Lyrics
Still Surfin' by Beach Boys He used to ride the sidewalks in a landlocked town
A solitary surfer still he got around
He had his favorite spots now
Where the best rides could be found
With posters on his wall from "Surfer" magazine
His room looked like a shrine to the surfin' scene
Go to Hawaii out of high school was his big time college dream
(That's where the girls are)
Did you ever wonder what happened to surfer Joe
He up and took a ??? down to Mexico
With a pretty senorita we both used to know
You can see him catch a wave in the mornin' light
And sometimes you can find him on his board at night
A silouette on water as the sun dips outta sight
He's still surfin'
(Still surfin')
He's still surfin'
(Still surfin')
You'll catch him on a wave on his way to class
Then be back there after school [til his daylight pass???]
He's still surfin'
(Still surfin')
He's still surfin'
(Still surfin')
Surfers always love them summer days
With a board in the water rollin' with the waves
He's still surfin'
He's always been a surfer since the early days
Spendin' the summer searchin' for that perfect wave
He and his surfin' senorita never seem to age
He doesn't do a whole lot with his law degree
They thought about a major oceanography
But he does a lot of thinkin' 'bout how to save the sea
(That's where the waves are)
Things up north were gettin' kinda out of hand
So he got a break to see the ride on the sand
With his little mama seated in a surfer's never never land
You can see him catch a wave in the mornin' light
And sometimes you can find him on his board at night
A silouette on water as the sun dips outta sight
He's still surfin'
(Still surfin')
He's still surfin'
(Still surfin')
You'll catch him on a wave on his way to class
Then be back there after school [til his daylight pass???]
He's still surfin'
(Still surfin')
He's still surfin'
(Still surfin')
Surfers always love them summer days
With a board in the water rollin' with the waves
He's still surfin'
In the mornin light he still surfin'
On his board at night he's still surfin'
In the summer days he's still surfin'
Rollin' with the waves he's still surfin'
