For Surfers: Surf Slang Dictionary !!!

.
.
If you're planning on learn how to surf this summer, be sure that you can talk like a surfer before you walk on water. Surfers use a highly stylish and descriptive array of words and phrases in their communication. So check here for new ways to linguistically interact at the beach. There is more to a surfer's lexicon than "dude."

.

Air to Fakie:
Definition: This is a relatively modern addition to surfing but has become very functional even in very small surf. An "air to fakie" is when the surfer punts an aerial and then lands backwards (tail first), usually on the wave face. The surfer and board briefly ride backwards until finally spinning a full 180 degrees back around. Also Known as: Air to Reverse. Examples: Dane was behind in the heat until he busted a fat air to fakie in the dying seconds to win the whole contest.
All-time:
Definition: Most surfers are blessed with the gift of hyperbole (overstatement), meaning that many things we say don't necessarily reflect reality. A perfect example is "all-time", a very positive adjective that describes something as bearing the best ever...of historical significance...of biblical proportions. The only problem is that you might hear someone use this term to describe several sessions a year or even a month, therefore, not truly being the best ever since every swell can't be more "all-time" than the last in the same way something can't be "more unique" or "more best". "All-time" is generally used to describe a session that you missed. Pronunciation: awl-time. Also Known as: Epic, Classic, Best-ever. Examples: What, you had to work yesterday? Well you blew it! The swell was all- time!
Amped:
Overdoing it; excited; stoked.
Anglin':
Turning left and/or right on a wave.
Ankle Busters:
Small waves.
Avalanche:
An outer reef surf spot on Oahu, Hawaii; the white water pouring down the face of a wave.
Awesome:
Great; fantastic (also see "Off the Richter," "Off the Wall," "Outrageous").
Back Down:
To decide not to take off on a wave.
Backdoor:
Definition: (Verb) To enter a barrel from behind the peak. This is a good way to get the deepest possible tube. (Noun)The legendary Hawaiian right-hander that breaks over a shallow reef on the North Shore of Oahu. Examples: I dropped in super late and had to backdoor the section to get tubed.
Baggys/Baggies:
Oversized, loose fitting boxer-type swim trunks worn for show or comfort by surfers.
Bail out:
To get away from, jump off, or dive off the surfboard just before a potential wipe out.
Banzai:
A gung-ho type of yell given by surfers as they shoot the curl (also see "Cowabunga").
Banzai Pipeline:
A surf spot on the North Shore of Oahu, Hawaii, between Waimea Bay and Sunset Beach; also called Pipeline (also see "Pipeline").
Barrel:
The breaking motion of a perfect wave; a hollow channel formed inside a good wave when it breaks and curls over.
Beach Bunny:
A girl who goes to the beach to watch surfing.
Beached:
Totally stuffed from eating.
Beaver tail:
A wet suit that features a snap-on crotch, the shape of which resembles a beaver's tail.
Big Gun:

Definition: (Verb) To ruin a great surfing opportunity. For the record, "Blowing it" doesn't
always end with a wipe out. In fact, One can blow it by simply avoiding a barrel or missing a
good wave. Even sleeping in during a good swell can evoke the statement, "You blew it!” Also
known as: Goon out, Dork it, shank it. Examples: That guy in the white jersey had the heat won,
but he blew it on the last wave.

fun(many local crews have their own variation on this term). Also Known as: blowin' up, goin'

Boss:

Brah:
Definition: It seems for the sake of space, time, and effort, surfers shortened "brother" to "bro"
and "brah", therfore creating a concise pronoun to mean friend. Surfers have an almost endless
supply of terms for friend or cohort which is, I think, symbolic of our innate brother and
sisterhood. "Brah" is one of these words; however, like the word "dude", it may take on other
connotations in different contexts. Also Known as: bro, brother, brudda, broham, my man...The
list is endless. Examples: (Friend) Hey brah, we have got to take a trip to Costa this summer. (Not a friend) Ho brah, paddle in and go back to the mainland already before you get doughnuts(black eyes).

Channel:
Definition: A spot of deep water where the surf doesn't usually form; it's a good place to paddle
out to the lineup. Beach breaks don't normally have a discernible channel, but reef breaks such
as Pipeline and Sunset Beach in Hawaii have nice easy areas to paddle out. This poses a
problem only when novice surfers are able to easily access dangerous surf or when the swell
rises so large that waves break through. Pronunciation: chan*nel. Also Known as: calm water.
Examples: The surf was so big that most guys were sitting in the channel watching.

Curl:

Cut Back:
A cutback is a maneuver for intermediate and advanced surfers that keeps the rider in the
power of the wave. After gliding out past the breaking whitewater section of the wave, the
surfer guides the board back toward the whitewater. This not only prolongs the length of a
ride but also gives the surfer more possibility for speed and maneuverability. Also known as:
cutty, slashback, roundhouse. Examples: That guy ripped three cutbacks on that last wave.
Cut out:
To pull out of the wave, like kicking out.
Dawn Patrol:
Definition: The act of arriving at the beach before morning light. It takes a dedicated athlete to
achieve this. Several things can interfere with a quality dawn patrol: fog, very cold weather,
very young children, old age, and beer. Examples: We dawn patrolled the Point this morning, and the wind was off shore. You missed it!
Delamination:
Definition: The term "delamination" refers to a common surfboard problem occurring when the
outer fiberglass coating separates from the foam core which is called a "blank". This forms a
bubble of air that will split open if left untreated. This can also lead to water-weight, yellowing,
and dangerously sharp edges. Delamination occurs most commonly from age and most horribly
from leaving your board in a car in the hot sun.

as a permanent fixture or screwed in with a special system that allows removal at your
discretion. The most basic configurations for fins are in groups of three, two, or even as a single
entity. Also known as: skegs. Examples: When the surf is really small, I take out my third fin,

you do all these things at once. Kooks have been around since the birth of surfing. I'm sure even the Duke had to deal with couple of them over in Waikiki back in the day. The problem is
that it seems that the worst kooks of them all don't realize the extent of their own kookdom.
