Scene Ecology: Surfer’s Stomp! came from the early-60s Southern California surf boom, when instrumentals, teen dances, car culture, and beach mythology all fed each other. Media Narrative: Records like this helped sell “surf” as a national fantasy, even when the music was being shaped by Hollywood studios as much as real beach scenes. 5/30/2026 CC
