What also adds to the feel and pleasure of the song is Al Jardine's and Carl Wilson's "Inside, Outside, USA" background singing during the chorus. I have not figured out yet if Brian Wilson was describing the 2 types of surfing waves here or the fact the beaches inside and outside of the USA. Inside waves are the waves that hit the shore and are generally "beginner" waves. Outside waves are the waves that break farther out from the beach.
