Surfing Waves

some people talk about surf music but is there such thing i know we have artists like Jack Johnson but is there such thing as surfing music like certain types of music or something?

Its genres of music that have become attached to the surfing image. Obiviously the main ones are chilled/funky ska/reggae/acostic etc. You can speak to individuals and their musical taste will very as ever but yes, sterotypically it runs true.

Does that make sence?

yes thanks

jack johnson reiterates the same unoriginal melodies throughout entire albums. they are very catchy.. i like them, but still.

well... surfin music to me is what ever gets me pumped on the ride to the beach with the guys. umm.. paper doll by louis xiv is my fav surf song. it has nothin to do with surfing but it gets me so excited. i have a c.d at home titled " gone surfing" we listen to it every time we go il get the songs and right them here when i get home

i dont so 'surfmusic' i go for a surf to surf ! Not to think what music should accompany my 'rad sport duude '

Surf music is completely instrumental, I'm talking about the real surf music like Dick Dale, The surfaris etc...

thanks all i just got this clasics surf cd its well good old bands like beach boys, makes me laugh its wkd. sharky xxx

sublime, 311, bob marley and a few others are pretty chill

i love the beach boys, got most of their albums - just pure feel good songs

Slightly Stoopid, Damian Marley, Long Beach Dub Allstars...... too many to name

I am with uRa, while alot of music may work for each of us, I have always thought of 'surf music' the the mostly instrumental music from bands like The Ventures, The Challengers, Link Wray, etc...

i dont get why everyone likes reggae. there is plenty of other relaxed acoustic stuff thats way more melodic than that, and jack johnson or john mayer.
my list -acoustic, instrumental "stoner," "chill" or whatever music

there is way better music out there than the trash on tv.

THE GOONS OF DOOM.

Definitely some punk to get you hyped, try goldfinger, greenday, sum 41, jimmy eat world, blink 182, guttermouth. Those sorta bands are always in the CD player on the drive to the beach!!!

If you want chilled out when you are wiped on the way home check out an awesome aussie band called "the Beautiful girls" they are awesome, also maybe Donovan Frankenrieter and Xavier Rudd....

my surf music containd roch and hard raock and some reagae

rock/metal all the way.. chill music puts you to sleep before you go in the water and then you drown. not cool.

no way, Jack Johnson rules, cant get enough of his music, that puts me in a good surfing mood - surfing is chilled out after all

Jack Johnson deserves to win the 2 brit awards
