Attack dog tits! Chopes! Club Sandwich! Seven-mile miracle! Who coined 'em?
You talk like a surfer don’t you? Of course! We all do! Because we are!
We say things like punt, froth, tail waft, stab, tube, tub, slash, carve, nip and tuck. We go to places named Chopes, the Superbank, the Seven Mile Miracle. And we look, longingly, at hot, hot attack dog tits.
But where did these words come from? They were not etched into stone from God’s mouth by Moses’s hand, if you can believe. They were, instead, coined by surf writers! So let’s give them their credit!
Matt Warshaw: Seven Mile Miracle
Our beloved historian used it as the title of a story and I don’t know if a finer turn of phase has ever been.
Vaughn Blakey: Punt, froth, tail waft
Where would we be if we couldn’t say punt? Air? Did you see that air? That was a nice air? Boring! But not anymore. What a punt! I am sooooo frothing!
Sam McIntosh: Chopes
Dear Sam elevated Teahupo’o to legendary status by dubbing it a thing that western tongues can utter.
Derek Rielly: Club sandwich, Superbank, Strider Wasilewski’s attack dog tits
Derek coined “superbank” referring to that man-made wonder wave that once stretched from Snapper to Cairns, though he first named it “supabank” because “supa” was cool back then.
More importantly, first called Strider Wasilewski’s gorgeous chest “attack dogs” in a story headlined: Strider’s Steroidal Tits Overwhelm Day One Fiji! Kelly is deposited into round two (so what’s new!), Gabriel makes a sharpish return and we gaze at Strider’s attack dog tits!
That was six months ago!
And six months before that, there was this!
And now you know!
look so cool http://boobsporni.com/searc…
Does “yeeeeewwww” count, or is it just an elongated tree?
Was the whole point of this article just to comment on Striders attack dog tits? If so..well done
It was! I heard Strider refer to his tits as attack dogs and went, wait, that’s my line!
This Just In! Strider reads Beach Grit! Possibly his favorite?
Surf words. I would suggest the most iconic surf term is Wipeout. The term probably predates its use in surfing, but surfing has really made it its own.
Mike Differderfer naming Pipeline deserves a mention.
When are you guys putting up that surf splendor podcast, it was a good listen!
Blood feud – ERBB vs Chas Smith. Go get them Chas! http://forum.surfermag.com/…
It is the greatest but how do I start chatting with them in there? It’s all so confusing!
Pick on one of them, Chris Dixon is obviously game, Flush them out the usual way! Two famous surf writers, one the future Pulitzer Prize winning journalist, the other Chris Dixon who wrote the excellent Ghost Wave, in a Blood Feud to the Death! Headline making, you could have some sort of charity boxing match!
Ha! Not that…how do I set up an account? It seems like I have to jump through lots of hoops to get on or something.
Ah come on, aren’t you GazaBlues – everyone on the ERBB thinks you are!
No! I wish I was on there somewhere and didn’t have to give my email address and all those damned things. It seems so fun!
I think Chris Dixon is a moderator, he could probably fast track you, or not, there is feud going on after all!
For you I’ll try!
Brandon Cruz is kinda famous – you could have a blood feud with him! https://en.wikipedia.org/wi…
I’d be stoked to have Chas on the erBB – and Derek for that matter. Both their skins seem thick enough. Though I’m still not convinced one of ’em ain’t Gaza Blues. I’d get my ass kicked in a charity boxing match tho. And I haven’t gone thru the ‘accept’ thing on the erBB in awhile. But I’d happily tell the other mods to be on the lookout for a suave registrant.
I tried but it kept saying, “unknown” after I jumped through all the hoop!
