Dewd! Hang Ten! Don't
Wipe Out on your
Surf Board! Catch a Wave, Yo! Have I completely lost you yet? Don't be ashamed to admit it, I'm speaking surfer slang. And yes, Joe Mamas and Popses of America, it is English. Surfing boys and girls of America have their own language they use to refer to various aspects of their hobby, not unlike slanguage used in other everyday activities by their practitioners, like the fuzz, plumbers, or Asians. But don't worry! We're here to help with a handy-dandy little glossary of surfer terms to help you navigate the rocky terrain that is the world of surf people, for your next trip to Santa Cruz, or or viewing of Point Break, a movie to be made in the future. Enjoy!
