This glossary of surfing includes some of the extensive vocabulary used to describe various aspects of the sport of surfing as described in literature on the subject. In some cases terms have spread to a wider cultural use. These terms were originally coined by people who were directly involved in the sport of surfing. ==About the water== * Beach break: An area where waves that are good enough to surf break just off a beach, or on a sandbar farther out * Blown out: When waves that would otherwise be good have been rendered too choppy by wind * Bomb: An exceptionally large set wave * Choppy, chop: Waves that are subjected to cross winds have a rough surface (chop) and do not break cleanly * Close-out: A wave is said to be "closed-out" when it breaks at every position along the face at once, and therefore cannot be surfed * Face: The forward-facing surface of a breaking wave * Flat: No waves * Gas chamber: The effect when a big wave rolls over, enclosing a temporary horizontal tunnel of air with the surfer inside * Glassy: When the waves (and general surface of the water) are extremely smooth and glossy, not disturbed by wind * Gnarly: Large, difficult, and dangerous (usually applied to waves) * Line-up: The area where most of the waves are starting to break and where most surfers are positioned in order to catch a wave〔 * Off the hook: A positive phrase meaning the waves are a very good size and shape * Outside: The part of the water's surface that is farther from the shore than the area where most waves are breaking * Point break: Area where an underwater rocky point creates waves that are suitable for surfing * Sections: The parts of a breaking wave that are rideable * Set waves: A group of waves of larger size within a swell * Shoulder: The unbroken part of the wave * Shorey/shore break: A wave that lasts all the way to the shore before crashing * Surf's up: A phrase used when there are waves worth surfing * Swell: A series of waves that have traveled from their source in a distant storm, and that will start to break once the swell reaches shallow enough water * Whitewater: As a wave breaks, it continues on as a ridge of turbulence and foam called "whitewater." * Stoked: happy, excited 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Glossary of surfing」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
