A surfer is, in general, somebody who surfs, to me, what brands (if any) they wear and how they dress is insignificant. All a surfer has to do to be a surfer is to surf and enjoy it for what it is, not caring about their image and having fun. Yes, I admit, I do wear brands like billabong, but you're just as likely to see me wearing a plain white T and other non branded clothes, image is not important. Yes there are a lot of posers, those who bodyboard and make out they can surf. I actually live several hundred miles away from my nearest decent surfing beach and try and go as regularly as possible, I am the first to admit I am not very good but I have fun learning new tricks and that's what counts, you don't need branded clothes and a stereotype for that. As far as speach and getting stoned goes, most surfers I have met talk normally, and getting stoned...well, that's a stupid idea and shows how little people know, as it would be very dangerous and a downright stupid thing to do!
stereotype: there is no stereotype for a surfer, if you are genuine, but i guess if not, it would go along the lines of....
long bleached hair, branded clothing, long boardshorts, tanned, vw camper van, talks like 'gnarly dude, check out those sick waves!' or something to that extent, flip flops and in general someone who wears clothes intended for surfing in the everyday world.

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.

Someone with the patience to sit out on the ocean for hours waiting for the right wave to come along and pick them up. No, we don't say things like "Radical dude!", "Surfs up", and walk around with longass shorts with a billabong T-shirt on and dreadlocks. That's all stereotypical and anyone who does that is a dumbass poseur and should rethink thier lives. I've been surfing 5 hours everyday day all summer (50+ days) for the past 4 years and have never seen a real surfer who does any of those things.
Poseur: Surfs up dude, Ima grab my 20 ft board and stand up out on the water!
Surfer: #### you man, these waves are only 3 ft high but I'm gonna try and ride em anyway.

People
like me who are acctually good enough to acctally surf, and we dont say "radical dude" or anything stearyotypical like that and are not always stoned.
Actuall surfers are not posers and say they surf when all they do is bodyboard or have been once to a surf lesson.

someone with the wicked ability to balance on a fiberglass board as it shoots through the ocean water on a wave, non-surfers want to be us, but most who try merely embarass themselves by trying too damn hard to be a surfer. It's something you wont understand unless you are born to be a surfer. But to my lucky fellow wave riders, keep it up.
