Jan's comments at TAMI concert.

JAN BERRY: "Ok, lets hear it for the one and only, the five and only, the real surfers... The Beach Boys"

That always struck me as a weird one. Why did Jan say "the real surfers"? Was it because The Beach Boys were so much bigger musically than Jan & Dean at the time? After all, both Jan AND Dean were surfers, and only Dennis in The Beach Boys was the real surfer there.

jdman:
I think Jan was referring to the fact that Jan & Dean were enjoying the wave. Jan didn't care what subject they sang about. Surfing music was in at the time, so that's what Jan & Dean did. The Beach Boys, on the other hand, were the ones that started singing about surfing. So it was more a part of their identity.

2dean2:
Maybe he was being sarcastic, :o

owen:
Yes, I had always assumed that it was somewhere between mild sarcasm and an in-joke.

David Beard:
It's all Hollywood script writing… Nothing more than that.
