I've always felt that surf and tiki intermingled quite harmoniously. As a matter of fact, it was my (roundabout) way of getting into tiki. You know, some people think that tiki is only what came from the Polynesian Pop era but, I couldn't disagree more. People find their way to tiki in many different ways - island heritage, modernism preservation, rockabilly scene, wood carving, art collecting, etc...surfing culture is just one of them. In the 60's, it wasn't uncommon for surfers to wear tikis as good luck charms.
