Watch the amazing live performances of Beach Boys classics, The Little Girl I Once Knew ('65)/Help Me Rhonda ('65), and God Only Knows ('66), California Girls, Let Him Run Wild., and the instrumental, Pet Sounds ('66).

 “Delightful Rain” is a celebration of Australian surf music and our beach culture over  the last five decades. Filmed and recorded between May 13th and 27th 2006, in the  Freshwater Surf Life Saving Club, right on the beach at Harbord on Sydney’s North Shore, and looking out over the water where in 1915 Hawaiian Duke Kahanamoku introduced surfing to Australia. This was a unique recording project. “Delightful Rain” gathered together some of Australia’s greatest ever surf music artists to record material, old and new, and to tell  their  stories and to  celebrate the journey of Australian surf music.
