Around 1960, The Original Surfaris were formed. Originally called the Surfaris, they changed their name to the Original Surfaris after another band also called the Surfaris became widely famous for the song "Wipe Out".

The Original Surfaris are best known for their hits "Surfari" and "Bombora", both of which were covered by nineties surf-space band, Man or Astro-man?
