Surfin' Safari is the first studio album by The Beach Boys, marking the beginning of their recording career. It features their early surf rock sound, heavily influenced by the Southern California surf culture, even though most band members were not surfers themselves. The album includes the hit singles "Surfin' Safari" and "409", which helped porize surf music across the U.S.

The album was primarily produced by Nick Venet, though Brian Wilson began asserting creative control, especially in songwriting and vocal arrangements. Much of the material reflects youthful themes—surfing, cars, and teenage life.

While Surfin' Safari was modestly successful, peaking at No. 32 on the U.S. charts, it laid the groundwork for The Beach Boys' rise to fame. Critics generally view it as a significant but primitive start, showcasing early signs of Brian Wilson's songwriting talent.
