Keep in' Dick alive a bit longer
I don’t play what they call “surf music.” The Beach Boys did, and they used to open for me for $10. I play sounds from a guitar that I created from Gene Krupa. His drums. He got the rhythms from the indigenous tribes that I’ve studied that he did. How they counted onetwothreefour onetwothreefour onetwothreefour onetwothreefour on the one--one two three four, one two three four. They played on the one, where musicians play on the one-and, so that’s the reason why he was so powerful in his drumming and drew such crowds.
Don't play no folk rock either

He’s associated with surf guitar but had a huge influence on heavy rock, psychedelic rock, and metal.
On Jimi Hendrix’s third stone from the sun he sings “you’ll never hear surf music again”
The line about never hearing surf music again was actually a dedication to surf guitar king Dick Dale, who was dying of cancer (but didn't die and later covered the song , dedicating it to Jimi).
quote from Dale -
"Jimi dedicated this song to me when I was dying of cancer. That's where the quote 'You'll never hear surf music again' comes from. For a while, Hendrix was backing up Little Richard in a bar in Padasena. He came to my live shows. Listen to his guitar slides; he said he patterned his style after me, after watching me blow up amplifiers."

"Didn't he have a place in JT. He also owned the Gilette mansion in Newport years ago. Coincidentally last weekend I picked up a very clean copy of Checkered Flag. Hard to find good copies of his music, cuz it got played hard."
His place was the Dick Dale sky ranch

“I wanted my guitar to sound like Gene Krupa’s drums,” Dale said in a 2010 Surfer Magazine interview. “I never went to school and learned music theory. When I play, I go, ‘This sounds like a tiger; this sounds like a volcano; this sounds like the lip of the water coming over my head when I’m surfing.’ My bass player says, ‘When I stand behind you, I don’t just see your arms moving, I see your shoulders shuddering, your back straining.’ That’s because I put all my physical force into my playing. I take people for a ride on a non-chemical wave of sound.”e

His many fans began trailing Dick and his Deltones early on in caravans of buses and VW vans so they would never miss a performance.
They became known fondly in the media as Dickheads.
The rest is rock history. Showed up today on my forum sidebar ad along with the Trump shirt.

Wipeout is the first song that comes to mind when I think about this genre but definitely not a Dick Dale creation.
I saw Link Wray very late in his career but never did see Dick Dale live.
