"Welcome to Surfdog and Dave Kaplan Management, where we live and breathe our passion for music in our tropical bungalows by the beach! Our company was established in 1985. It all started with Dave Kaplan opening the doors to the company’s first division: Dave Kaplan Management. Soon thereafter, came Surfdog Records, a wholly-owned independent record label. Then came Surfdog Music Publishing & Licensing, Surfdog Entertainment Marketing, Surfdog Merchandising and Surfdog’s Java Hut; all located in the slice of heaven we call Encinitas, CA."
