I'm guessing there wasn't much of a Car Culture and/or Surf Culture of
songs on the East Coast, and in the UK.Probably predominately just a
California thing ? Am I correct ?

New to me too---as these kind of songs go it's not bad at all
You're right that--tho several "car culture" records sold okay
here--there wasn't that much of a local car culture craze.Certainly
nothing remotely on the scale of the West Coast USA. And it certainly
didn't show up much in the UK music scene (tho the Who did a couple of
American car songs including "Bucket T")
As far as surfing is concerned most of the UK coast line is unsuitable
but surfing has become popular in recent years in certain UK spots that
have the right waves--such as Cornwall (especially on the Atlantic
facing coastline)
