Reverb Unit Radio

This new travel radio looks like a slightly smaller tweed-covered version of an early sixties Fender Reverb unit. Spring reverbs like the Fender are very popular to achieve the wet, splashy surf sound. They are in fact the only way to create that sound, like on classics Pipeline by The Chantays or Baja by The Astronauts.

The Bruce Brown Pre-The Endless Summer Surf-Movie Collection

Video On Demand from Amazon

…the first two minutes of videos automatically play at no charge to customers when they visit the product detail page. At any time during this 2-minute viewing period, customers can choose to purchase or rent the title to watch it in its entirety…

The Bruce Brown movies prior to The Endless Summer are now available for download from Amazon. Personally speaking: You got to have them all.

For reasons unknown to me Barefoot Adventure is not available.

A Great Collection of Vintage Surfboard Logos

It’s an online gallery spanning all surfing eras and coasts. Here are three examples I haven’t seen before. It’s really interesting to browse the alphabetically listed pages. Most logos are pictures taken from laminates under the glass of actual used boards. Might be an idea for a wallpaper, don’t you think?
