VW buses are as synonymous with laid-back surfer vibes as The Beach Boys, bikinis and beachside bonfires—the epitome of 1960s Southern California. The bus is a classic piece of American history, a legacy that continues today.

For the short-short clad, sunkissed skin, sun-bleached hair, surfboard-toting, carefree dudes and babes of SoCal, the beach was more than an attitude, it was a lifestyle. And not much else captured the lifestyle like the classic 1960s Volkswagen bus. To put it in surfer slang, this illustration is totally righteous, brah! (a.k.a. you should get one…or two!)
