boardhead

A boardhead is a person who is a fanatical participant in a board sport such as; sailboarding (windsurfing), snowboarding, surfing, skateboarding, kiteboarding. Used to describe someone who can think of little else than the board sport they participate in. Original first use in the 1980's to describe fanatical sailboarders at the Columbia River Gorge, a river and canyon that forms the border between the states of Washington and Oregon.

John didn't show up for work again because he is windsurfing, he is such a boardhead.
