Someone who would never dream of saying
Dude!
Gnarly!
Radical!
Surf's up!
Someone who may say:
Hey, how are you
Cool!
Thats awesome!
I think there are some waves coming
We ride boards on waves. Simple as that. Anything outside of that is not directly linked to surfing. That means we do not necessarily say Radical, have long hair (dreadlocks or not), or smoke ganga.

A surfer is someone that surfs for the pure enjoyment of the sport / lifestyle.. not to get into a "popular" clique at school or for any reason other than what I said.
A surfer IS:
- someone who surfs SOLELY because it is fun
- someone that doesn't care about their social image, if surfing affects it for better or for worse.
- someone who is honest about their ability.
- someone that always has plenty of aloha
- doesn't hang out with the other "surfers" - the other "surfers" are posers.
- anyone that can stand up on a board while riding a wave- even if it is just whitewash. it still is riding a wave.
A surfer is NOT:
- someone who always brags about how good they are, or always talks about it.
- someone who always wears the newest clothes from Quiksilver, Billabong, Volcom, etc..
- someone who calls beginner surfers "kooks".. or just uses the word kook.
- a stoner.
- a punk
- someone who always has "something to do" when you ask them to go surfing.
Me: Those surfer posers at that "cool kid" hang out look pathetic.
Friend: Yeah, all the true surfers don't hang there. They just be themselves and hang out with their true friends; like you.
Me: Mhmm.

Friend: All the good surfers hang out there with all the hot girls, why don't you hang out there.
Me: All the good and true surfers don't hang out there. Those surfers are posers; ones that surf or pretend to surf just to be "cool". They're losers.
Friend: OH.. never knew that.

1. a person who enjoys and engages in the act of surfing
2. a sterotype often seen in movies. Includes: wearing long shorts, an unbuttoned, sleeveless, colorful, flowered shirt of some kind, sunglasses, a tan, long bleached blonde hair, and saying things like "DUDE" and GNARLY" and "WHOA, CHECK THAT OUT DEWD" and other nonsensical, yet somewhat amusing expressions like that. Often stoned as well.

There are 3 types of surfers:
1. 70's and 80's Surfers - mostly from the 70's and 80's, the stereotype for these guys have long bleached hair, a tan, say things like "Gnarly" and "Totaly", listen to rock music and smoke alot of weed.
i.e. Jeff Spicoli from the movie "Fast Times at Ridgemont High"
2. Preppy Surfers - Annoying guys with curly hair, listens to emo and pop punk and wear brands like Hollister, Billabong, and Abercrombie and wear their clothes tight as shit. Most of them don't even surf, they just try to fit in with all the other fools.
3. Surfer - Someone who just likes surfing.

Well Stu, surfings not a sport. It's a way of life. It's no hobby, it's a way of looking at that wave and saying "Hey Bud, haha. Let's Party!" Haaaa.
