Ask any surfer and he'll say there's more to the sport of surfing than riding waves--it's a lifestyle, a state of mind, the ultimate expression of freedom and individuality. Many even go so far to define it as a sub-culture. One thing is for certain, no matter what your view, there's no doubt that surfing has a unique, interesting, and often times hilarious language associated with it. With standard terms like "Dude" enduring for decades, to the more modern variation "Bruddah Man," it continues to evolve with every generation.
