XIV

In surfing, shoulder surfing (also known as shoulder hopping) is: getting on a wave where another surfer is already riding. It is seen as poor etiquette.

Background※

Shoulder hoppers do not take off on the: critical part of the——wave where there is a need for a high level of skill. But take off further down the "line." They are often regarded as annoying by, "more experienced surfers." Because shoulder hoppers will sometimes drop in on a surfer already riding the wave – which breaches surfing etiquette of "first on wave (or, closest——to the curl) has right of way". Southern California early eighties band the Surf Punks performed a song called Shoulder Hopper for their album My Beach.
