I find one site that purports to explain song lyrics is convinced the redneck friend is Gregg Almann - which seems plausible.

I found a Guardian interview that says that the redneck friend is Browne's penis. Browne was adamant the song was not about masterbation (as some have suggested) but that the song is an invitation to "pretty little one" to met his penis.

101. #16 "Surfin" by the Beach Boys
Sun Mar 8, 2020, 10:22 PM
Mar 2020

The very first 1961 single, simply recorded and devoid of the lush harmonies and production values that Brian Wilson would eventually employ to great effect. The group had dubbed themselves as the Pendletones, but the Candix record label took the liberty of renaming them the Beach Boys, and rest was history.
