Need some Surf recommendations

I know a little less than nothing about surf records and I'm headed to Barcelona again in a few weeks for a big mobile conference where I'll be working the booth and DJing the party for my company. Last year's theme was easy, the Funky Penguin, as we're a Linux based mobile company... but this year's theme is Catch the Wave so I'll want to play some solid surf music to go along with the usual funk and soul. Any help on some good upbeat, beach party surf music would be greatly appreciated.

    dick dale (preferably from the sixties)
    astronauts (particularly their instrumentals)
    pyramids
    lively ones
    dave myers & the surftones
    duals

    any compilation with one or more of these artists is good (especially if its on the Del-Fi label, which was to surf what Stax was to southern soul)

    I got a pretty solid comp off the Chocoreve blog with a lot of these artists. Some great stuff, I may have to get more into this genre. Thanks for the recommendations folks... I'm sure I'll have some great stories from my trip to Barcelona like last year!
