In '63 when this song was popular in LA, I was 14 and lived 1/2 mile from Redondo Beach. I could walk to the beach with my surfboard. I was riding the waves the Beach Boys were singing about in this song; Haggertys and Swamis, Doheny and Huntington Beach. My Dad owned a Willy's Jeepster Woody for cruisin to the beach, back before anyone was surfin on short boards with leashes. Back then we swam all the way to the beach to retrieve our boards. My first board was 12 feet long in 1959.
I'd love to go surfin', but I live in Minnesota and it's June. Wrong time of the year for us. We have surfing on Lake Superior, but only in the winter.....burrrrrrrrrrrr!
These were the days where all the countries of the world looked up to the United States as the "cool" big brother, where everyone went to the beaches in the summer and everyone in the US was beautiful and was awesome. These were our glory days, where EVERYONE wanted to be the US.
Where did those days go? Who screwed it up? Why aren't we the idol we used to be?
Mike Love and Al Jardine came to Lima in 2005 and the day before the beach boys concert went to Cerro Azul and I've keep this great picture of the front page of a newpaper with Al with a hawaian surfin' table with the sea back him.
I always spit in the face of winter with the California surf sound

When was this recorded?
I know the Beach Boys formed up in '61, so it's after that.

@liberatordude1988 I think it was recorded in 1962, although it was written a bit earlier than that... :)
