Although there was far more to Dick Dales "Surf Rock" sounds, undoubtedly he did more for sales of Spring Reverb units than just about anyone else.
A classic Aussie Band - The Atlantics owed much of their success and sound to Dale. They originally recorded this track (Bombora) in 1963, here they reprise it in my old surf club in 2007.

song.
