- We were writing about what kids were doing in those days. You have to understand, Brian [Brian Wilson] had never been on a surfboard in his life. Denny [Dennis Wilson] was the real surfer. Denny went surfing every weekend, so the surfing music and terminology that came from him was totally authentic. Brian and I were smart enough to pick up on the fact that it was a very in-vogue thing, especially with what was happening with Dick Dale down in Costa Mesa. Thousands and thousands of kids were going to the Ballroom each weekend to hear surf/stomp type music. So we just picked up on the trend and took it to another whole level.
