If the surf music from the 1960s had one defining sound, it would be the opening drum roll and familiar guitar melody from the Surfarisâ 1962 hit song âWipe Out.â
Known as the most important instrumental song of the decade and featured in films such as Dirty Dancing, âWipe Outâ was written and recorded on the spot in a little recording studio in Cucamonga by a group of high school students who had formed a band called The Surfaris.
The meteoric success of their first hit led the group of teenagers from Glendora to co-headline a tour with the Beach Boys and sign with prominent labels such as Dot and Decca. The group went on to have other hits including âSurfer Joeâ and âPoint Panic.â
