Surf Party (1964)

We all know Frankie Avalon and Fabian made beach movies, but who would have guessed that Bobby Vinton "The Polish Prince", made a beach movie? Believe it or not, he was a pretty good actor, too.... definitely a notch above Fabian. Surf Party follows the adventures of three young women who travel from Arizona to Malibu in a trailer with the sole purpose of hitting the beach and learning to surf. They picked a certain stretch of Malibu coastline because the older brother of Terry (Patricia Morrow), one of the girls, lives in Malibu and is a local "surf king." They meet Len (Vinton), who works at the local surf shop, and he gives them private surfing instructions... which naturally leads to Terry falling in love with him. Trouble ensues when they discover that Terry's brother isn't the hotshot others make him out to be and instead is a sponger and a bad influence of the surfers. When Len warns Terry about him, she walks away from him which makes Len "Mr. Lonely" with a capital L. Surf…
