surfer

A person who actually surfs, and has some talent in the sport. NOT someone who has taken a few lessons, or bought a board just because they had the money to do so. Many people have tried to emulate surfers over the course of the past few years by buying the surf brands (quiksilver, billabong, roxy, Lost...), but have only earned themselves the name POSEUR. Actual surfers, normally pretty chill people, see poseurs as some of the most irritating people on earth. Over-commercialization has taken over the sport and now tons of teenage girls (sometimes boys) who think or pretend they surf have invaded the territory. My friends and I who surf competitively feel like strangling these people.
