Summary

You won't find Echo Beach on any map. But for a band of surfers from Newport Beach the stretch between 52nd and 56th street was an entire universe of '80s cool. These Day-Glo surfers singlehandedly demolished the laid-back '70s style with a loud blast of Devo and attitude. Out of the water, they wore Aquanet pompadours, Wayfarers, and neon board-shorts. In the water, they ripped up the wave two feet from local photographer Mike Moir's Canon fish eye. The photos he published in the surf magazines ignited a counter culture that grew into the '80s as we know and love them. Echo Beach captures the marriage of surf and fashion that was ground zero of the '80s, when a zebra-striped twin fin surf-board and a hot yellow wet suit was the ticket to happiness.
