In high school, we used to make playlists for our girlfriends/boyfriends. Hell, we still do. It is a lost and underrated medium really. . Mixed tapes. Burned CD's. Compilations of music curated by people that have time to think it matters.
They're your own super albums. Themed out and specific for every hour of the day.
I have decided to dedicate Friday posts to this lost art of playlist making. Each week the theme will revolve around a different type of sport or a special athlete spotlight playlist.
WEEK ONE: Surfing

With a little bit of help from a good friend of mine, this nostalgic playlist transports you back to the 90's.
This was his take on the collaboration idea:
"We used to make tons of Cd's featuring surf-part songs to play on the drive to the beach. It was a simpler time. Young dudes with new driver's licencses, stacks of Cd's and surfboards and not much to do. By the time we'd arrive at the beach we'd already run through the playlist and knew exactly what type of ripping was about to go down. We'd be so amped we could hardly get our wetsuits on fast enough. And we'd like to think this still happens and that it still happens to most of you. But with access to so much music these days, it's easy for things to get lost, shuffled and overlooked. Today though, we're feeling a little nostalgic, and decided we wanted to go back through simpler times."
