Welcome to The Beach Toys site now known as: 

 
                 

       

               "CATCH A WAVE"             

(AND YOU'RE SITTIN' ON TOP OF THE WORLD ! )

The idea for this incredible show was to recreate the look and sound of a live Beach Boys concert circa 1964 to 1969.To replicate a unique harmonic California sound that was created by Brian Wilson, Carl Wilson, Dennis Wilson, Mike Love and Al Jardine. This was the spark that ignited the flame in 2000 that burns today in every  performance.

Don't be fooled  ! The current line up of The Beach Toy does not contain The Beach Toys  members that worked for Disney, Holland America Cruise Lines, as well as fairs and festivals across the nation in the past 7 years with the exception of one member.  The Beach Toys ( 4 of the 5) as you have known them in the past 7 years comprise Catch A Wave now.

Unfortunatley, what remains of The Beach Toys now is one former member with the name only. While we wish him the best of luck, the long standing 4 amazing singers/players (seen at right at Disney's California Adventure Park) comprise the history that has so entertained thousands all over the world now constituting CATCH A WAVE. Put simply, with 4 of the 5 former members known as The Beach Toys not a beat is missed ! New singer Joel with the 4 principle backbone members of The Beach Toys now makes the CATCH A WAVE show better and stronger then ever ! Don't take my word for it. Listen to our all new LIVE demo shot in March 2012 direct from the cruise ship showroom in Hawaii. It takes more then one person to make a great sound. One member and a name a legend does not make. In spite of claims made by the now "Beach Toys", That act  does not work for Holland America Cruise Lines. The line up working for both Holland America and Norwegian Cruise Lines is Catch A Wave with young, trim good looking Joel Dalton as lead singer Mike Love.

Now headlining for both Holland America and Norwegian Cruise Lines !

Make a smart choice, be a smart buyer ! 

Take a good look at the members in the video !  There are many old Beach Toys videos and pictures being used with 4 of the 5 members of the Catch A Wave now purporting to be The Beach Toys under new management. Misrepresentation is clear. Be smart ! Take a good look at the photos of what you are buying. Many of the promo videos of The Beach Toys still contain the 4 principle members of Catch A Wave.   When shopping for shows, be sure to inquire if the members in the promo photos AND VIDEOS are in fact all of the permanent members that will actually be performing for your event. Do you want to take that chance ?

Today there are many choices in Beach Boys tributes, many have popped up simply acting as  "copy cats" of The Catch A Wave original presentation. This show  is the first and has clearly mastered  the harmonic vocals with the exact slurs, slides, scoops and Beach Boy mannerisms that have taken many many years to master. Be careful with other so called Beach Boys tributes that claim they are the originals or the "only" in their presentation. Get the tightest ! Get the originals, the only true real originals....CATCH A WAVE. Simply go to our archive page or photo page to witness proof of the inception of our show dating back to 2002.

Honestly, many others are not really "tributes" but really nothing more then Hawaiian shirt bands that neither tackle the very intricate 5 parts harmonic vocals of CATCH A WAVE nor present a theatrical vintage live show presentation. Half baked at best. While even others make use of vocal tracks. What are vocal tracks ? This is nothing more then a recording of vocals as opposed to singing vocals live. Yes..the vocals are actually "fake" fooling you as you are not hearing vocals sung live. CATCH A WAVE USES NO VOCAL OR INSTRUMENT TRACKS...It is an all live instrument and vocal experience and so is our video demo !

CATCH A WAVE" members were personally selected to perform FOR BRIAN WILSON  AND THE BEACH BOYS' FAMILIES AND FRIENDS  at the California state historical landmark dedication of the home of The Beach Boys in Hawthorne, California. Other Beach Boys tributes are claiming to have performed at the Dedication in May of 2005. Make no mistake, CATCH A WAVE members were the only Beach Boys tribute show  to have been selected to perform at this legendary historical event and we have the photos to prove it Below.

Only the members below have traveled the world performing theatrical venues, cruise ships, major casinos, major fairs and special events to include Disney Entertainment on the "Wave riders" stage at Disney's California Adventure Park as seen below .

"CATCH A WAVE" is the one to "Catch"  

 Members of the The Beach Boys as well as the unbelievable Brian Wilson Band have paid personal  complement  to the "CATCH A WAVE" members for their tremendous detail. The unbelievable harmony work and blend nails "spot on" the Southern California vocal surf sound so identified with The Beach Boys' music.
