Catching A Wave

In the "Summer of Love" Capitol Records and The Beach Boys publicist Derek Taylor organized a day out at Zuma Beach, California on July 1, 1967. The shoot was a lighthearted affair with many family members also on hand, including Audree Wilson (mother of Brian, Carl and Dennis, and Mike's aunt). This never before released shot captures a rare moment of the five Beach Boys playing in the surf and catching a wave for a little bodysurfing Ken Veeder and George Jerman, who were there from the Capitol photo department, along with a number of other photographers from different magazines. Zuma Beach is about nineteen miles west of Malibu. Some of these outtakes were used for the Wild Honey album cover and Lei'd in Hawaii.
