The Shadows and The Ventures HIGHLY influenced the 1st generation of surf musicians, but are not actually considered surf. Kind of like poly-pop is to tiki, close but not really. I wouldn't use Hawaii 5-0 because like the show, the song is not really tiki.

It seems like you are matching song titles to Tiki rather than the sound. If you want a really Tiki/Exotica sounding surf song listen to "Adventures in Paradise" by The Atlantics. It's a good mix of exotica and surf.

I'll try and think of some more suggestions and post later tonight. I have to run.
