SURF -  The Tornadoes’ Bustin’ Surfboards is an iconic piece of surf rock history that first hit the airwaves in 1962. With its signature twangy guitar riffs and reverb-laden sound, it perfectly captures the carefree, sun-drenched spirit of the early 1960s surf scene. The song’s infectious beat and laid-back vibe make you feel like you’re riding waves on California’s coast, even if you’re miles away from the beach. Decades after its initial release, Bustin’ Surfboards gained renewed fame when it featured in Quentin Tarantino’s Pulp Fiction, introducing a new generation to its timeless appeal. To this day, the song embodies the raw energy and fun of surf culture, proving why surf rock remains a beloved genre for many.
