We used to make tons of Cd’s featuring surf-part songs to play on the drive to the beach. It was a simpler time. Young dudes with new driver’s licencses, stacks of Cd’s and surfboards and not much to do. By the time we’d arrive at the beach we’d already run through the playlist and knew exactly what type of ripping was about to go down. We’d be so amped we could hardly get our wetsuits on fast enough. And we’d like to think this still happens and that it still happens to most of you. But with access to so much music these days, it’s easy for things to get lost, shuffled and overlooked. Today though, we’re feeling a little nostalgic, and decided we wanted to go back through simpler times. We perused our rapidly blooming VHS collection here and selected some of our favorite surf video part songs, focusing on the ’90s (for this edition.)

Stay Tuned: Chippa Wilson Playlist 010 Presented by d’Blanc
Want to know what gets Chippa hyped to huck? Sounds like it’s ’90s punk and hip hop…and we’re just fine with that. Lagwagon, Millencolin and a little splash of A$AP. Sounds like Chip. Energetic, explosive with a fuck ton of pop.
