The Surfaris are an American surf rock band formed in 1962. They are best known for two instrumental hits, "Wipe Out" and "Surfer Joe," which became synonymous with the California surf culture of the 1960s. The original band members, Jim Fuller, Pat Connolly, Ron Wilson, and Bob Berryhill, significantly contributed to defining the surf rock genre with their distinctive guitar reverb and fast-paced drum solos. The Surfaris' music remains highly influential, often used in media to evoke the spirit of the surf and hot rod culture.
