[ listen ]

On this fourth album by The Surfers, the cover of which features "a paradise of Polynesian pectorals," The Surfers' full-bodied singing "raises the testosterone level so high, you half expect the stuff to come spurting out of your speakers!" Ahem. That's according to Don "Stuffed Animal" Charles and his informative Rock-a-Hula History of The Surfers that you can find here. You can read a little about coach Bernie Ching here, read Alan "Kalani" Naluai's 2001 obituary here, and find the 1959 "Tahiti" LP liner notes and pictures included below.
