In the book Pop Surf Culture: Music, Design, Film, and Fashion from the Bohemian Surf Boom by Brian Chidester and Domenic Priore, the two songs "Aqua Limbo" and "Laguna Limbo Luau" by Dave Myers were singled out as very interesting. The author remarked that Dave Myers & the Surftones had suddenly become the ultimate exotica surf band. This was due to the shakers, rattling and vocal sounds.Pop Surf Culture: Music, Design, Film, and Fashion from the Bohemian Surf Boom, Brian Chidester, Domenic Prior - [https://books.google.com/books?id=MSFaAAAAYAAJ&q=%22Surfs+Up%21+At+Banzai+Pipeline%22 - ]
