Cultural Facts:

1. Personal Struggle: The Mar-Kets were a studio-driven surf project, meaning the players often disappeared behind label branding while the dance-craze machine got the attention.
2. Scene Ecology: Surfer’s Stomp! came from the early-60s Southern California surf boom, when instrumentals, teen dances, car culture, and beach mythology all fed each other.
3. Media Narrative: Records like this helped sell “surf” as a national fantasy, even when the music was being shaped by Hollywood studios as much as real beach scenes.
