The Ventures are a Instrumental Rock band, they're not a Surf band, they were formed before Surf music became popular in the early 60's and they played Surf music when it was popular, most of what they played were cover songs from other Surf bands, but they also play other types of music.

Let me get this right, The Ventures been around for like 50 years have something like over 230 releases which includes 75 studio albums, 38 of them made the charts, but you were a fan of The Ventures for two months, you own like 3 ablums and a compilation and that somehow makes you an aficionado were you are able to say The Ventures music is pretty crappy. It would be nice to know why do you think their music is pretty crappy did you hear it all and you stating your opinion or you never any of it and you're just guessing, right?
