What does “stoked” mean in surfer slang?
A slang term often used by surfers (and in broader action sports culture) to mean extremely excited, happy, or pumped. It’s all about that buzzing, joyful feeling you get when something awesome happens — like catching a perfect wave, scoring a fun session with friends, or just being out in the ocean. The best surfer out there is the one having the most fun. One of the greatest things about the sport of surfing is that you need only three things: your body, a surfboard, and a wave. Surfing is the most blissful experience you can have on this planet, a taste of heaven. Surfing is very much like making love.Most surfers would consider a point break the perfect wave as the actual time riding the surfboard will be the longest. Due to the length of the individual waves and the ensuing time on the surfboard you will often see multiple surfers all riding the one point break wave (without fear of injuring each other).
