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.
