ahh e tal..

Se ha algo que eu não me importava de fazer desde o primiro raio de sol até o ultimo era surfar...
Não vou dizer que isso seja algo que eu faça muito bem, porque estaria a mentir. Embora seja o melhor do mundo em tudo o resto... há que ser modesto!!

E porque não aprender alguma coisa hoje??

* Regular/Natural foot - Right foot on back of board
* Goofy foot - Left foot on back of board
* Take off - the start of a ride
* Drop in - dropping into (engaging) the wave, most often as part of standing up
* Drop in on, cut off, or "burn" - taking off on a wave in front of someone closer to the peak (considered inappropriate)
* Duck dive - pushing the board underwater, nose first, and diving through an oncoming wave instead of riding it
* Snaking/Back-Paddling - paddling around someone to get into the best position for a wave (in essence, stealing it)
* Pop-up - Going from lying on the board to standing, all in one jump
* Bottom turn - the first turn at the bottom of the wave
* Shoulder - the unbroken part of the wave
* Cutback - a turn cutting back toward the breaking part of the wave
* Fade - on take off, aiming toward the breaking part of the wave, before turning sharply and surfing in the direction the wave is breaking towards
* Over the falls - When a surfer falls and the wave carries him in a circular motion with the lip of the wave, also referred to as the "wash cycle", being "pitched over" and being "sucked over" because the wave can suck the surfer off of the bottom and draw him or her "over the falls."
* Pump - an up/down carving movement that generates speed along a wave
* Stall - slowing down by shifting weight to the tail of the board or putting a hand in the water
* Floater - riding up on the top of the breaking part of the wave, and coming down with it
* Hang-five/hang-ten - putting five or ten toes respectively over the nose of a longboard
* Hang Heels - Facing backwards and putting the surfers' heels over the edge of a longboard.
* Re-entry - hitting the lip vertically and re-rentering the wave in quick succession.
* Switch-foot - having equal ability to surf regular foot or goofy foot (i.e. left foot forward or right foot forward) -- like being ambidextrous
* Tube riding/Getting barreled - riding inside the hollow curl of a wave
* Carve - turns (often accentuated)
* Pearl - accidentally driving the nose of the board underwater, generally ending the ride
* Off the Top - a turn on the top of a wave, either sharp or carving
* Snap - a quick, sharp turn off the top of a wave
* Fins-free snap (or "fins out") - a sharp turn where the fins slide off the top of the wave
* Air/Aerial - riding the board briefly into the air above the wave, landing back upon the wave, and continuing to ride.
* Grom/Grommet - young surfer (usually under 15 or so)
