From the publisher that brought you Tiki Road Trip comes Pop Surf Culture: Music, Design, Film, and Fashion from the Bohemian Surf Boom by Brian Chidester and Domenic Priore.

Some highlights include forewords by Gidget (Kathy Kohener) and Moondoggie (better known later as Ferus Gallery artist Billy Al Bengston), cover art by Frank Kozik, many color images of definitive pre-1970 surf culture, and traces the Pop Surf Culture from the early Waikiki Beach Boys, Tom Blake, and Bob Simmons. The book also touches on Malibu in the '50s, surfing films, surf music, the design of early '60s surfing magazines, more Hawaii, Tiki Surfah, and the revival of surf instrumental music and its surrounding exotica vibe, plus more!
