Wipe Out – THE SURFARIS***

Californian instrumental group The Surfaris achieved their only US album top twenty success with Wipe Out. The title track single was a top five hit in both the US and UK. The remainder of the album is mostly instrumental covers plus the minor hit Surfer Joe. (US:15)

"A great foray into the world of surfing sounds with a classic tune, Wipe Out. Pounding drums and reverb drives the tunes and makes for a great listening experience."

"There are several good tracks but the one that is the peak is Wipe Out. The way it starts with the driving guitar and the loud wipe out lyric has you climbing in the drapes, and the rendition of other hits are also really good."

"It is a great album for all who cherish the warmth and feel of beach, sand and water under their feet."

"Sadly, they just don't make fun music like this anymore. Awesome instrumental work and just plain cool."

"The music that The Surfaris made will never die. Ron Wilson's drum work and vocals cannot be compared."

"Awesome surf sounds, killer rod references, highly recommended for any one who has a street rod and loves to cruise."
