I've been going through the parts I learned last year and making sure that I actually wrote them down. In April, I learned one of the guitar parts and the bass part for "Stoked," but I notated only the guitar part. I vaguely remembered that the bass part just doubles that guitar part (an octave lower), but I had to reference the recording to make sure.
In doing so, I discovered that my notation of the guitar part (which I did in June) is off by a half-step. I don't understand how I messed this up, but I notated it in Bb major where it's actually in A major. Like I mentioned in my post from June, the tuning in the recording seems off, so maybe that's how I got confused.
In any case, here's the updated notation.
Repeating guitar phrases:
Bass:
I'm a little unsure of the accuracy of the last measure in each of these. Additionally, in one iteration of the bass part, it seems that the E quarter note in the second to last measure is replaced by two eighth notes (an E and an A, at about 0:40). It's a bit difficult to distinguish the parts under the lead guitar though.

"Stoked"
Yester-day I remembered that I'd learned the repeating guitar phrases in "Stoked" a few months ago. Awhile after I learned them, I figured out the note values for the notation, but I didn't get around to actually notating it until to-day.
To some degree, I guess what I notated could be considered the rhythm guitar part, although "rhythm guitar" usually means just playing chords.
I have two copies of the Surfin' U.S.A. album: the 1990s release where it's paired with Surfin' Safari and a more recent reissue (2012) that has the album in mono and stereo. I'm not sure whether it's the way the instruments were tuned when they were recorded or something with the transfer process, but I think the track is slightly out-of-tune. The Surfin' Safari/Surfin' U.S.A. version is off even more than the mono/stereo Surfin' U.S.A. versions.
