The Xbox Gerry Lopez Pipeline Masters has a 13-day waiting period (Dec 8-20) in which to select the best possible surf for the three days of competition required to determine a winner. Daily updates will be available.
So herrrrrrs the lingos for the gringos...
Barrel~ the hollowed-out area inside a breaking wave
FaCe~ the front of a wave
Getting tubed~ surfing inside the barrel
Goofy-foot~ a surfer who puts her right foot forward on the board
Grommet~ a young surfer
Hang ten~ to grip the front of a long board with your toes hanging off
Hotdogging~ skillfully maneuvering the wave
The Lineup~ area in the ocean where the waves break
Kook~ someone who doesn't know how to surf
Pearl~ to nosedive off your board
Rip~ (1) current that pulls the water back out to sea (2) to surf
Shred~ to surf with great skill
Thruster~ a board with three fins
Wahine~ the Hawaiian word for "female surfer"
That is all for now...I guess I will know if I will be surfing within the next half hour...
