Three teeny boppers arrive in southern California from Phoenix, determined to pick up surfers and learn how to surf. The brother of one of the girls is the local "king of the beach", running an invitation-only club where bands play and the teenagers dance. The girls waste no time in starting relationships with various beach bums, about which they sing sugary musical numbers. A stern cop tries to bust the club for selling alcohol but fails. A surfer hurts himself trying to "run the pier". The real attraction here, other than the girls, are the bands: The Astronauts three-pronged guitar attack performs "Firewater", and The Routers perform "Crack-Up", which are the only words to the song. Both are great.
