Y-ellow CL 'n' all.
         I know this is going to be somewhat heretical here but since 
no-one's mentioned it and it's something I've been toying with for some 
time I thought I'd just throw it in.

Obtain recordings of REAL surf. Edited together or a single long stream. 
Dump it onto a hard drive inside a computer using your choice of free 
software. Write a batch file or script that fires it off at boot up and 
hook the sound card into the PA.

Problem solved.

And it will loop for as long as the electrons flow. Well assuming you're 
not running under windows or something. That'd be just asking for trouble. 
Even an old 486 could handle pumping out a huge WAV file in stereo like 
this. This is a no brainer and requires virtually no effort. And you could 
even have event triggered additional sound effects such as sea gulls and 
air born giant squid overhead.

Hope this helps.

Be absolutely Icebox.
