Surf On This!

[kenposurf]

The Astronauts were best known for Baja. The group did not start out as a surf band but ended up riding the first wave, This one is called Firewater...ahhh matching guitars!

Also, the figure carrying the surf board on their first album is not a man, but an airbrushed woman according to the CD liner notes.

Dude looks like a lady
