A surfer, as it would seem to me, is just someone who enjoys surfing,who loves the feeling of riding the last set,Who doesn't give a shit about "posers".Who cares who poses as what?

Someone who lives for the search of finding new and exotic waves to surf. They love to ride waves, and they love to just be in the water either with great friends or by themselves, whether its 2 feet or 20 Feet, this person is happy and has a smile on their face. Also a surfer is a humble person who tries to spread happiness and good vibes to all. Oh, and they are always looking for that next sick barrel.
Random Guy: "Hey buddy, i always wanted to try the sport of surfing, whats it like?"
Surfer: "Whats up bro, its not just a sport dude, its a lifestyle, and its fucking amazing, haha. Its the only sport that gives back."

A surfer is, in general, somebody who surfs, to me, what brands (if any) they wear and how they dress is insignificant. All a surfer has to do to be a surfer is to surf and enjoy it for what it is, not caring about their image and having fun. Yes, I admit, I do wear brands like billabong, but you're just as likely to see me wearing a plain white T and other non branded clothes, image is not important. Yes there are a lot of posers, those who bodyboard and make out they can surf. I actually live several hundred miles away from my nearest decent surfing beach and try and go as regularly as possible, I am the first to admit I am not very good but I have fun learning new tricks and that's what counts, you don't need branded clothes and a stereotype for that. As far as speach and getting stoned goes, most surfers I have met talk normally, and getting stoned...well, that's a stupid idea and shows how little people know, as it would be very dangerous and a downright stupid thing to do!
stereotype: there is no stereotype for a surfer, if you are genuine, but i guess if not, it would go along the lines of....
long bleached hair, branded clothing, long boardshorts, tanned, vw camper van, talks like 'gnarly dude, check out those sick waves!' or something to that extent, flip flops and in general someone who wears clothes intended for surfing in the everyday world.

Someone with the patience to sit out on the ocean for hours waiting for the right wave to come along and pick them up. No, we don't say things like "Radical dude!", "Surfs up", and walk around with longass shorts with a billabong T-shirt on and dreadlocks. That's all stereotypical and anyone who does that is a dumbass poseur and should rethink thier lives. I've been surfing 5 hours everyday day all summer (50+ days) for the past 4 years and have never seen a real surfer who does any of those things.
Poseur: Surfs up dude, Ima grab my 20 ft board and stand up out on the water!
Surfer: #### you man, these waves are only 3 ft high but I'm gonna try and ride em anyway.

A surfer is someone who can sit and wait for a good wave 2 come, and when it comes they take it.. They know which wave 2 take and what 2 do on a board.. Surfers like me, hate people who wear the surf makes when they dont surf. Theyre such wannabees and its obvious if they dont surf. Also i hate people who think that surfers have gotta be like tanned and blonde and with dreads and stuff. i mean im tanned but some surfers arent etc..

Someone who love surfing and does it cause its fun. they dont say dumb shit like gnarly or radical (but u mite hear radical if they're talking about board shapes in a technical way) they just love having fun surfing. Just because you wear billabong or quiksilver doesnt make u a surfer( even though some surfers may wear those types of clothes) and u dont have to be tan with long blonde hair ( look at some of the ASP surfers and you will see what i mean )actually real surfers might be whiter than posers because theyre in their wetsuits all day. almost no surfers get high or get drunk all the time because its really hard to surf hungover.
poser: yo wats upp brahh lets go ride some gnarly waves with my radical board
surfer: hey lets go surf
