Astro Coast - Surfer Blood
As much as you want to hate on it because of the whole "hipsterizing of surf culture" BS, you just can't—because it's actually good.

Yakety-yak.

It was a great first day back.
A couple guys got the shack.
The lefts made my lips go smack.
And as you can see, the rights didn't lack.
But it was a full-on walrus attack.
And those old dudes weren't afraid to hack.
And my wetsuit's zipper breaking was wack.
Ack.

Half of me's the gasoline, but the other half’s the surf.

Holiday - Vampire Weekend
I'm guilty of drinking the kool-aid on this one. Great album. Great lyric. Listen to it above.

Dear Surf,

I still love you.
More than ever, actually.
I've just been so busy.
Which is a good thing I guess.
And thanks for putting out a little last week,
Despite my lack of visits recently.

I hardly ever write.
I never send flowers.

But I'll make it up to you come Valentine's Day.
Promise.
