Great prompt. Took me way back to my teenage years. No time to do a proper surf background but trrust me, it's not a hardware problem. ;)

Lyrics

Cruisin' Down The Ocean Boulevard

Slipped on my baggies
Strapped my board on top
Tire tread sandals
Sun burnin' hot
Headed out
Day at the beach
Surf's up Isn't just a
Figure of speech

Ch
Sun is shinin'
Wind blowin' free
Time stopped
It's just you and me
Thinkin' 'bout a big curl
Ridin' it hard
And life is good
Cruisin' down the Ocean Boulevard.

Don't get no better
Than a day like today
Take all my troubles
Surf them away
Soakin' up the salt air
Layin' in the sand
A California dream
Holdin' your hand

[Ch]

Later tonight
When the full moon comes out
We sit around the campfire
Fresh fish cookout
Remembering all of them
Bitchin' sets
Lovin' by the ocean
Is a good as it gets.

[Ch]

Acoustic surf rock - love it! You sound awesome on both guitar and voice. Cool chord progression.

@mandolinda 6w

Nice surfin song. I like the guitar licks, with a bit of a hard edge. Life on its best, appreciate what you have there.

@hmstreetteam 6w

Real passion in this song, an unpretentious sense of purpose and an almost utopian air.

@lindsaymachine 6w

I'm seriously a surf rock fan of yours. The opening bass line, the slow strum so you can hear every string ring? Yeah let's go! I can see the picture of driving down the boulevard with the wind in my hair.

@tjeff 6w

Your guitar sounds great - love that intro. I like your story and you have a cool hook there. Nice skirmish!

@frostin 6w

great hook! and very nice how the guitar fades out, one cruising away. Nice job, really enjoyed listening to this.

@mhorning 6w

"Surf's Up isn't just a figure of speech" is a great hook line.

Makes me miss crusin' down the road in my old 65 Ford.

@cindyrella 6w

I can feel that hot sand and this has such a classic sound with that guitar! Love it!

@corinnecurcio 6w

Very cool guitar. That riff throughout works so well! Lyrics capture the beach and surf so well!
