Recorded in Portugal, it was produced by Joe Fossard featuring Ewan Butler on guitar and Sergio Nascimento on the chorus drums.

Lyrically it depicts a near death experience with real life surfing legend Jose Seabra[7] in giant seas of the then unknown waves of Portugal.

In addition, a mix entitled Retro SoCal also appeared in the surfing documentary, Chasing the Lotus, directed by Gregory Schelle and narrated by Jeff Bridges.

In 1998, the "Rockhead Mix" version produced by Joe Fossard was included on Ithaka's three-song release Escape for Nortesul Records/ Valentim de Carvalho.

Musicians include Adriano João (bass), Ewan Butler (guitar) and Sergio Nascimento (drums).
