Mike Love, Brian Wilson, David Marks and Al Jardine reunited on a beach in Malibu called Paradise Cove in September 2023. Says director Frank Marshall: "[It was] the original spot where "Surfin' Safari" was shot and we got the surfboard, the original surfboard, from that original shoot back in 1963... this group came along and put lyrics and harmonies to surf music. The Beach Boys sound is the sound of joy, so I thought it would be sort of poetic for The Beach Boys to get together where it all started. The whole day was so joyful and memorable. It was really like a family reunion."
