Savoring the Surfer Lingo, Brah
If a day spent duck-diving your way out to the line-up to shred the gnarl gets you totally stoked; if popping up on the deck of your stick when the waves are totally macking and going off in the barrel of a gnarly keg sounds seriously festy; then you might just be a total surfer marley!
