Hanging ten on a southern surfboard 

Going to the swamp, and "surfing" on a gator with your toes hanging near the gator's mouth.
Bob: Hey, buddy! How was your weekend?
Buddy: Oh, you know. Just hanging ten on a southern surfboard.
Bob: Damn. How many toes did you lose?
Buddy: surprisingly, only 2. Garry Gator is getting used to me.

hanging ten 

Originated from the surfing culture to refer to the act of hanging all ten toes off the front of a long board while surfing a wave.

A toe rag was originally a foot wrapping used, since mediaeval times up until the mid-nineteenth century, to protect the foot from chafing by boots or shoes. As these were, quite literally, rags they weren’t usually washed, and so with use they became very smelly until they were thrown away. Because of the similarity in smell, toe rag also became the name applied to dried, salted cod or other things with a strong, unpleasant, fishy smell. It didn’t take that long before the name was applied to someone who was an obnoxious, unpleasant OIC.
