Google didn't turn up anyhtign usefulll

Try here - http://www.irishsurfer.com/forum/index2.php

I would have thought that there isn't a word for 'surf' but might be for 'wave' to the direct translation would be wave board.

Looks limilar to Si vis pacem, para bellum which means if you want peace, prepare for war. it's the motto of an RAF squadron, but I can't remember which one for the life of me.
