"There's a place in Hawaii called Waimea Bay
Where the best surfers in the world come to stay."
-- "Ride the Wild Surf"
Doesn't exactly sound like the CALIFORNIA lifestyle if it's in Hawaii.
“Ride the Wild Surf” was my fav J&D song. Growing up during that time, I always felt Jan Berry was far more talented than Brian Wilson.
Nice video of “”Ride the Wild Surf” with above average audio quality. Video features scenes from the movie including a reddish brunette Barbara Eden in her pre-”Jeannie” days.

That song was written for a film of the same name. Unfortunately, during the shoot, a friend of Jan and Dean’s tried to kidnap Frank Sinatra’s son, and they got banned from the production, investigated by the police, and questioned in open court about what they knew about the plot.
