The trio practiced for about four hours and met drummer Wilson at a high school dance later that evening, whereupon the band was born. In the fall of 1962, Southern California high school students Jim Fuller and Pat Connolly called friend and guitarist Berryhill for a practice session at Berryhill's house. The original band members were Ron Wilson ( drums, vocals), Jim Fuller ( lead guitar), Bob Berryhill ( rhythm guitar), and Pat Connolly ( bass). The Surfaris were inducted into the Musicians Hall of Fame and Museum in 2019 for their hit instrumental song, "Wipe Out". They are best known for two songs that hit the charts in the Los Angeles area, and nationally by May 1963: "Surfer Joe" and " Wipe Out", which were the A-side and B-side of the same 45 rpm single. The Surfaris are an American surf rock band formed in Glendora, California, in 1962.
