Cowabunga Dude

Summer Days Soakin up the rays

Bitchin’,even a Barney wants to stay

Snag a cool parking Space praise

Hang Loose Lollygag purple haze

 

Trust me Sand gets in every crack

Small price to pay for where we’re at

Bro Giggle Wiggle into the wetsuit

Stoked Complaints are resolute

 

I was a clucked, clam dragger, **** dragger

Paddlepuss with sketchy haggar form

Watching for the men in Grey suits

Radical sick, yes too much time in the soup.

 

Dawn patrol Bro 5am pound the sand

Wax the deck with *** wax brand

Paddle out cup your hand

First wave of the day hang ten stand

Clean wave, no mashburgers Rico grand

Sunburn fades to a golden tan

Something quick to eat in hand

Plenty of water, flip-flops hot sand

 

Tricks of the trade change your clothes

At the side of your car Modesty goes far

****** Washing machine, tombstone

PartyWave ,Wipe out, a Kook surfer alone

 

Summer jobs to support the habit

Summer Loving, beach bunnies rabbit

Surreal Sunset , ankles slappers fun time

At the beaches from Malibu to County line

 

Our only issue was gas money

Life was righteous cool

Careful not to become somebody’s fool

Ending the season spectacular drool

 

Careful not to drift too far

Beyond the bluff, Blacks Beach

**** not for young eyes

Teenagers took a peek or two surprise

 

Two epic weeks every summer kid trio

Family Camping at Leo Carrillo

Fun at Free Zuma Beach Malibu,

swim the ocean and surfing canoe

Ventura County Line. where the surfers lineup and watch an epic sunrise sublime

Catch the morning waves Blessed days

Were adventure’s I’ll never forget

 

Surfers live by this Philosophy

 

Life‘s a beach, love the smell of the sea

Only surfers know the feeling,

No Wave no glory, drugs no thanks,

Surfing is life. The rest are details.

 

Life‘s a wave, go big or go home

Let your surfing do the talking

Work is for people who don’t surf

If it swells ride, it doubt, paddle out

 

Inspired songs

Surfing USA by The Beach Boys

Notes

Surfer slang

in order as they appear

Cowabunga – used to express delight or satisfaction an actor’s dream

******* – awesome amazing great

Barney – a surfer that is not cool

Hang loose – a hand sign thumb up pinky out three fingers tucked in

Purple haze – Jimi Hendrix song

Bro – dude, brother, used for

both male and female

Stoked – to be very excited enthusiastic

Clucked- being scared of the waves

Clam dragger – female body border
